One of Toyota's most popular cars has become even hotter as the highly contented GR-Sport moniker finds itself on yet another model. | Wheels24

Toyota says as part of the continued expansion of the Gazoo Racing brand, the Corolla Cross is the latest model to be adorned with the GR badge.According to the automaker, the GR product hierarchy comprises four levels, represented as a pyramid. The first layer is GR Parts which allows customers to inject their standard model variant with GR flavour, followed by the GR-Sport moniker, which offers cosmetic and dynamic handling enhancements .

But that's not all. Under the skin, revised suspension componentry and tuning are complemented by a recalibrated power steering module to deliver more responsive handling, steering wheel feedback and cornering prowess, making it much more dynamic to drive. The model employs the existing 1.8-litre 2ZR-FE petrol engine, coupled to a CVT transmission with seven pre-programmed 'steps' to simulate a close-ratio transmission in manual shifting mode, says Toyota.The Corolla Cross 1.8i GR-S slots in just before the Hybrid range-topping model and has a price tag of R453 200. The automaker says the model specification aligns to the XR Grade with a small price premium for the GR enhancements.

All Corolla Cross models are sold with a six-services or 90 000km service plan and a three-year or 100 000km warranty. Service and warranty plan extensions can also be purchased from any Toyota dealer . All Toyota models come equipped with Toyota Connect, including a complimentary 15GB in-car Wi-Fi allocation, vehicle telematics and enhanced user features via the MyToyota app. In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
