The Toyota GR Corolla 2025 returns with a three-cylinder turbo engine, maintaining its 300 horsepower but now accompanied by an increased torque of around 40 kilogram-meters, which was previously exclusive to the limited Morizo edition.

The major highlight is the addition of an 8-speed automatic transmission, which includes launch control, offering more powerful acceleration.
Additionally, improvements have been made to the suspension of the Toyota model to enhance stability and traction during sharp turns.
Another innovation is the simplification of the torque settings of the GR Four system, which now has three modes: Normal (60:40), Gravel (50:50), and Track (variable between 60:40 and 30:70), making the selection more intuitive. A new sub-radiator has been added to optimize engine cooling during track use, and this feature is standard on the more equipped models, while the trim levels have been reorganized to include the Premium Plus version with customization options.
The price of the GR Corolla 2025 has not yet been announced, but a modest increase is expected compared to the Core 2024 model, currently priced at $37,635. The cost of the automatic version remains uncertain, but the expectation is that the model will provide an attractive combination of performance and comfort, even for those who prefer not to drive with a manual transmission.
