- The Toyota GR Corolla hot hatch continues into 2024 with a few changes.
- Toyota has only revealed the Circuit Edition so far, which adds a new Blue Flame color and gets some chassis tweaks.
- The Circuit Edition will go on sale in the winter, and Toyota will release details on other 2024 GR Corolla trims later on.
The Toyota GR Corolla Circuit Edition was supposed to have a limited run just for the hot hatchback’s first model year, but Toyota announced earlier this year that it would extend the Circuit into 2024. Now we finally know what changes are in store for the 2024 GR Corolla Circuit Edition, and they include a new color, some visual changes, and some minor updates to the chassis and aerodynamics.
The new hue is called Blue Flame and it’s one of only two colors available for the 2024 Circuit Edition; the other choice is white, called Ice Cap. The Circuit Edition’s 18-inch wheels are also new for 2024. The interior features matching blue stitching for the shift knob and seats.
There are also several very detail-oriented changes meant to help aerodynamics. Aluminum sheets were placed in the front and rear wheel wells that are meant to remove static electricity from the bumper. Toyota also reshaped duct for the air outlets that allow for airflow through the wheel wells. To get even more into the nitty-gritty, Toyota says it replaced certain mounting bolts for the front and rear subframes with wider bolts.
We expect to hear more about the 2024 GR Corolla’s other two trim levels later on. They’ll likely be similar to last year’s Core and Morizo Edition models, but we don’t know pricing or details just yet.
