After the success and achievements of TE25 Corolla in 1973 and Corolla Levin in 1975 in the field of motorsports, the company has laid the foundations of TGRs. The new model is scheduled to launch in the second half of this year i.e. 2022 in Japan.
The company has taken the initiative of GR Corolla cars in order to make better motorsports-bred cars, which could focus on enhancing the quality of cars and their driving performance to win races and make them commercially accessible.

Moreover, the new model was comprehensively examined in extreme racing environments by using hydrogen engines in the vehicle and prototypes on racing circuits and snow-covered roads to ensure confidence and adventure while driving. The Corolla GR comprises a 60 mm wider track upfront and an 85 mm wider track in the rear to ensure a high level of cornering performance. The new model comes with a five-door, five-passenger layout for both exceptional usability in daily life and the desire for sports driving.
Additionally, a short-stroke shift lever placed for lowering the arm and quick gear changes is also one of the best interior designs of the model. Likely, a hand-operated parking brake allows better vehicle control even when pushing the car to its limits and while drifting.
