After a long wait and lots of teasing, the 2023 Toyota GR Corolla is finally here. It gives the brand a hot hatch to sell in the United States for the first time in ages.
Under the hood, there's the G16E-GTS 1.6-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine making 300 horsepower (224 kilowatts) at 6,500 rpm and 273 pound-feet (370 Newton-meters) from 3,000 to 5,500 rpm. The power runs through a six-speed manual gearbox with rev-matching functionality. The GR-Four all-wheel-drive system has selectable 60-40, 50-50, and 30-70 front-rear torque split settings, depending on the driver's preference.
