Can the Toyota GR Corolla's advanced AWD system master winter driving?
Explore how the Toyota GR Corolla manages snow through its sophisticated all-wheel-drive technology. This video compares the performance of the 2023, 2024, and 2025 models, examining how torque distribution and transmission choices impact traction.
The GR Corolla features an exceptional AWD system designed for rally-ready performance. Unlike systems that only engage when wheel slip is detected, this setup constantly directs between 40% and 70% of the vehicle's torque to the rear wheels. To further manage left-to-right traction, the car utilizes Torsen limited-slip differentials in both the front and rear.
With the introduction of an 8-speed automatic transmission as an option for the 2025 model, the video also evaluates how this new gearbox compares to the traditional 6-speed manual in winter conditions.
