近日，国外网站发布了丰田卡罗拉GR合成图。从图片看，该车最大变化是造型风格改变，包括重新设计的前脸，超大尺寸轮圈以及车门下面的侧裙，让这辆车看起来更坚固，与竞争品牌相比更具魅力。实际上，GR版本与现代i30NLine和雷诺梅甘娜GTLine遵循的是相同的路线，即外观更具侵略性，但搭载中级排量的引擎，无需保持高功率。而在这款车上，前脸侧面并未采用红色涂装，而车头硕大的黑红色装饰（与白色车身搭配）将成为选装件的一部分。该车最大变化是车辆内部，该车技术规格可能与致炫GR一样，底盘也进行改进。后者配备运动减震，悬挂高度降低1.1厘米，全尺寸稳定杆，外加普利司通PotenzaRE50运动轮胎（与212马力致炫GRMN一样）和17英寸轮圈以提升道路行驶性能。而在卡罗拉GR上，预计将有进一步的创新，不过该车仍将搭载与标准版相同的混动系统。目前还不清楚，该车是否会提供180马力2.0升或122马力1.8升引擎。而新的CVT变速器将进一步提升驾驶性能，避免出现传统CVT变速器那种车辆加速过程中引擎转速提升，但车速并未同步提升的问题。

 

Toyota Corolla GR Rendering – The Hybrid Becomes Sporty

In contrast to many other car manufacturers, Toyota has made no secret of wanting to focus on sports cars to strengthen the image of the company. Meanwhile rival companies rival companies give precedence to electric cars and to SUVs.

 

Not surprisingly, the Japanese giant launched a hot hatch a few months ago with the Yaris GRMN, it sells one of the last compact coupes left in the market (the 86), and is working on a new hypercar, the GR Super Sport which is closely related to the TS050 Hybrid racing. There are also the cars of the GR family, developed by the GR sports department, based on models already on sale, among which one day there could also be the new Corolla. We have imagined how a Corolla GR could look like, developing a rendering based on what we have seen with the other cars bearing the GR badge.

 

The biggest changes for the Corolla GR, first of all, involve the style thanks to the redesigned fascia; the oversized rims; and the skirts under the doors, which give the compact car a more gritty and captivating look in line with similar proposals of rival brands. In fact, the GR follows the example of the Hyundai i30 N Line and Renault Megane GT Line, versions with an aggressive look and medium-displacement engines that are not demanding to maintain. On the GR Corolla there will not be a red profile on the front fascia, while the big black and red stickers (which together with the white are the colors of the GR) could be included in the options.
