Used 2023 Toyota GR Corolla Hatchback Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Toyota GR Corolla comes in two primary trim levels: Core and Circuit Edition. The GR Corolla has a turbocharged 1.6-liter three-cylinder engine that cranks out 300 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. Power gets to the pavement through a six-speed manual transmission and all-wheel drive. There is no option for an automatic transmission. There is also a special Morizo Edition trim that is limited to 200 units. The Morizo Edition gets more torque (295 lb-ft) plus other performance-enhancing changes. Highlighted features include:

Core
Comes well equipped with:

  • 18-inch alloy wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires
  • Triple exhaust with brushed stainless steel tips
  • High-performance brakes
  • Driver-adjustable front-to-rear torque split for the AWD system
  • Digital gauge cluster with GR Corolla-specific gauges
  • Cloth seating
  • Automatic climate control
  • Height-adjustable driver's seat
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • 60/40-split fold-down rear seats
  • 8-inch center touchscreen
  • Six-speaker sound system
  • Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration

The GR Corolla also comes with:

  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the GR Corolla and the car in front)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the GR Corolla back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)

Options on the Core include:

  • Performance package
    • Painted brake calipers
    • Front and rear limited-slip differentials (help maximize available traction during hard acceleration)
  • Technology package
    • Upgraded JBL audio system
    • Navigation system (subscription-based)
    • Wireless phone charging pad
  • Cold Weather package
    • Heated front seats
    • Heated steering wheel

Circuit Edition
The Circuit Edition comes with the Core's three optional packages as standard equipment. It also has:

  • Forged carbon-fiber roof
  • Sport rear spoiler
  • Special hood
  • Synthetic leather- and suede-trimmed front seats with additional bolstering
  • Red accent stitching

Morizo Edition
The most track-oriented GR Corolla by way of:

  • 18-inch forged alloy wheels with wider Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires
  • Additional body structure reinforcement
  • Revised transmission gearing for quicker acceleration
  • Synthetic suede-wrapped steering wheel with red sight line
  • Two-seater only; the back seat and other items have been removed to reduce weight

Which GR Corolla trim does Edmunds recommend?

We think the Circuit Edition is the Goldilocks of the GR Corolla lineup. It has all the options we'd get on the base Core model as standard equipment but costs far less than the top-of-the-line Morizo Edition that sacrifices the rear seats in the name of maximum performance.
