2024 Toyota GR Corolla Hatchback Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Toyota GR Corolla is a high-performance version of the Corolla hatchback. It comes in three trim levels: Core, Premium and Circuit Edition. Each one comes with a turbocharged 1.6-liter three-cylinder engine that cranks out 300 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. Power gets to the ground through a six-speed manual transmission and all-wheel drive. There is no option for an automatic transmission. Keep reading for our breakdown of the significant features you get with each trim level.
