The 2025 Toyota GR Corolla continues to build on the strong reputation of its predecessors, offering a high-performance hatchback experience with even more advanced features and refinement. With the GR (Gazoo Racing) badge, it remains a symbol of Toyota’s dedication to motorsports-inspired engineering, blending everyday practicality with thrilling performance.
Performance
Under the hood, the 2025 GR Corolla is expected to feature an upgraded version of its 1.6-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine, delivering an estimated 315 horsepower. The refined powertrain is likely to be paired with a six-speed manual transmission, though an optional automatic might be introduced to broaden its appeal. Toyota’s advanced all-wheel-drive system with adjustable torque distribution ensures the GR Corolla maintains its agile handling, even in challenging conditions.
Design
Visually, the 2025 GR Corolla will likely retain its aggressive stance, with some design tweaks to keep it fresh. Expect a slightly more aerodynamic body with enhanced cooling vents, a redesigned front grille, and more pronounced rear spoilers. The wide fenders and sporty lines will continue to highlight its performance-oriented character, while new LED lighting elements provide a modern touch.
Interior
Inside, the GR Corolla will likely see upgrades in materials and technology. The interior should offer a more driver-focused cockpit with sporty seats, a digital instrument cluster, and an updated infotainment system with better connectivity options. Expect advanced driver assistance features to be included, ensuring that the GR Corolla remains as safe as it is exciting to drive.
