Anyone who thought the Toyota Corolla was a car made for the “old guy” can start rethinking their concepts. The Japanese automaker decided to invest heavily in its 2024 lineup and, this time, the car comes with several changes, especially in its GR-S version, customized by Toyota’s performance division.
In addition to a refreshed exterior and interior design, the model received a more dynamic and rigid suspension, offering a more robust performance in curves.
Car enthusiasts know that some things are essential in a sports car. Well, the Corolla GR-S 2024 now features a sunroof and a digital dashboard. Not to mention the air conditioning system in the rear and the Toyota Safety Sense, which has elevated the vehicle’s safety level.

Technology And Engine Of The New Toyota Sedan
Under the hood, the Corolla GR-S 2024 is equipped with a 2.0L Naturally Aspirated Flex Engine that delivers up to 175 horsepower with ethanol. Even though it loses two horses compared to the previous model, Toyota assures that performance has not been affected.
On the contrary, there has been an improvement in fuel efficiency, which, let’s face it, is great for the driver’s pocket.
The vehicle’s transmission also deserves attention. It features a hybrid technology that combines physical gearing on the first gear with a CVT conical pulley, all designed for even greater fuel economy. So, is it or is it not worth applauding?
Design That Attracts The Young Audience
Another aspect that stands out is the design. It has been a while since the Corolla has ceased to be a car for a more conservative audience, and the 2024 version only reaffirms this trend.
With a more youthful appearance, the car features diamond-cut glossy black wheels and an exterior color that can vary but always maintains black details, such as the side mirrors and the spoiler.
The new Toyota Corolla GR-S 2024 has achieved a difficult equation: to please both young people seeking sportiness and those looking for a reliable and robust vehicle. The best-selling Japanese sedan in Brazil just got even better. So, shall we go for a spin?
