At least 20% of car owners in Nigeria own a Toyota Corolla based on our statistics. That may not be true but we sure know that the 2004 Toyota Corolla is one Nigerians love so much because of its low-cost maintenance and fuel economy. While even the older models of the Toyota Corolla have good fuel economy, we will be looking at the fuel consumption level of the vehicle using the 2023 model, which is prevalent in Nigeria now.

Well, the Japanese automobile company has remodelled this lovely car to suit the needs of the 2023 car owner. For the 2023 model, Toyota has created a GR-tuned version and there are many things to love about this vehicle.

Overview of the Exterior of the 2023 Toyota Corolla

For the exterior, aluminium is used for the hood and front door panels, with light and strong high-tensile steel in critical areas to ensure the car’s structure can safely absorb and dissipate impact forces. So you will worry less when a danfo driver bashes your car. Hood, fender, and rear bumper ducts and a flat underfloor reduce drag, add downforce, and improve stability.

The wide stance and broad hatch exterior design of the GR Corolla projects a strong, attack-ready style with its black GR-badged functional matrix grill. The automobile has functional air ducts on both sides, and the front grille on the Circuit Grade comes in gloss black and features integrated LED fog lamps. Auto on/off LED headlamps and DRLs are standard for both grades.

Both grades feature wide front and rear fender flares. The Circuit Edition features a bulging hood with functional gloss-black air ducts. The Carbon Fibre roof on the Circuit Edition is matched with a matte-black roof-mounted shark-fin antenna. The Core Grade features an aluminium hood with a colour-keyed roof and matching shark-fin antenna. Gloss-black heated power outside mirrors with turn signal indicators, gloss-black window moulding, and black GR Corolla badges are standard in both grades.

At the rear, both grades feature a rear lower bumper cover with functional air vents, for an extra touch, these vents are gloss-black on the Circuit Edition. The tapering of the roof and rear pillars are complemented by a high-mounted matte-black rear spoiler on the Circuit and a gloss-black rear-lip spoiler on the Core Grade. The wide track and flaring of the rear wings emphasize the car’s wide and low silhouette.

Overview of the Interior of the 2023 Toyota Corolla

The design of the GR Corolla’s interior reflects the car’s performance, particularly around the driver’s cockpit. Incorporating the feedback of professional drivers, a GR Full TFT meter was recently developed with a 12.3-inch colour Multi-Information Display (MID) with a GR meter with 4WD mode, turbo pressure, gear position indicator, and tachometer. The brightly lit display is designed for easy viewing in any condition and even features a start-up GR animation.

The shift lever has a shortened stroke for a quick throw between gears. Positioned where the driver’s arm is naturally lowered from steering, the action is light with short shift strokes, adding to the performance quality. GR Corolla uses a pull-type mechanical parking brake.

The Circuit Edition’s interior is finished in black with red trim details around the door handles, centre console, steering wheel, and side air vents, and the Core Grade is finished with black and silver details. Automatic climate control, power windows with one-touch auto up/down, and heated front seats and steering wheel are standard on Circuit Edition. Heated front seats and steering wheel are available with the Cold Weather package option on Core Grade.

It has Toyota’s new Audio Multimedia system which features an 8-inch touchscreen, the system offers an improved user experience and a wide range of enhanced connectivity and convenience features, including being Over-the-Air (OTA) updatable. Users can interact with the new system’s design through touch and voice activation. With Intelligent Assistant available through Drive Connect, simple phrases like “Hey Toyota” awaken the system for voice-activated commands to search for directions, find Points of Interest (POI), adjust audio controls, change the cabin temperatures, and more.
