2023 Toyota GR Corolla Nalgene water bottle test

This is the 2023 Toyota GR Corolla Morizo, the line-topping version of this well-executed hot hatch. We’re immediately in love with this thing — there’s nothing quite like a straightforward, driver-focused hatchback that rewards you with every shift and every turn (and maybe even every pull of the handbrake). But you’re dying to know, will it accommodate oversized water bottles like a 32-ounce Nalgene? Piloting the GR Corolla down your favorite winding roads is thirsty work, and you’re going to want to stay mega-hydrated. We check out the cupholders front and rear to see if the Nalgene fits.

- Hello there, John Snyder with Autoblog here. And in front of me is the 2023 Toyota GR Corolla Morizo. And I get thirsty driving little hot hatches, so I like to bring along a big Nalgene water bottle, 32 ounces, something to quench my thirst throughout the day. And so let's see if there's somewhere we can put it.

Check the cup holders. Not looking promising. That's a no. That's a no.

Let's try the door. Nope, not going to work. Well, so much for the front passengers. What about the rear passenger? Never mind.

Well, there's a cup holder in the door. Check it. Nope. Eh, tough luck. Going to go thirsty in the 2023 GR Corolla, but there it is. No dice on the Nalgene, but still a really fun little hot hatch. Thanks for watching.
