Track-Inspired Exterior Design
The GR Corolla doesn’t just perform like a track car; it looks the part. From the triple exhaust tips and functional air vents to flared fenders and a low-slung stance, everything about this hot hatch is engineered for aerodynamics and attitude.

A forged carbon-fiber roof (Premium Plus) not only adds visual drama but reduces weight and lowers the vehicle’s center of gravity.
