The Toyota GR Corolla Circuit Edition is making a comeback in 2024 with some exciting updates. This hot hatch stole the show when it was first introduced last year. The base Core model lacked features, and the Morizo Edition, although well-equipped, was expensive and limited to just 200 units in the US. But now, there’s good news for fans of this special edition. The GR Corolla Circuit Edition is back for 2024 and comes with a few new features.

One of the first things you’ll notice is the paint. The Circuit Edition now features the eye-catching Blue Flame hue, which is similar to the paint used on the GR86 and the base Corolla Hatchback for 2024. Additionally, the car is equipped with new 18-inch BBS wheels, previously seen on the Morizo Edition, which may be discontinued. The body of the Circuit Edition boasts a forged carbon roof, a larger rear spoiler, and new black graphics on the rocker panels that extend out to meet the “GR-FOUR” emblem.

The interior updates are more subtle but equally stylish. The cabin now includes blue stitching on the door panels, steering wheel, gear lever, and seats, adding a touch of sportiness to the design. The shift knob also features a new blue stripe down the center, matching the Blue Flame exterior. On the tech front, the eight-speed JBL premium audio system is now a standard feature.

Under the hood, there are no mechanical changes. The GR Corolla Circuit Edition still packs a punch. It retains the same turbocharged 1.6-liter three-cylinder engine from last year, generating an impressive 300 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. The powertrain is paired exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission and an adjustable all-wheel-drive system. The front and rear limited-slip differentials remain in place.
