Toyota isn’t backing down when it comes to compact performance. The 2025 GR Corolla brings back everything fans loved about the previous model but sharpens the edges where it counts. Suspension tweaks have been made to refine the handling without dulling the thrill. A quieter cabin, smoother ride, and better cornering feedback turn this hot hatch into a daily driver that doesn’t sacrifice its racing soul.
You’ll still find the same GR-FOUR all-wheel drive system with its customizable torque split, but the added finesse in 2025 makes the ride feel more planted in everyday use. Toyota’s updates this year are more about fine-tuning than reinventing—which is good news when the original formula has already struck a near-perfect balance.
Tech You Can Rely On at Every Turn
Inside, the 2025 GR model is smarter and more connected. The standard 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it easy to stay linked on the go. The interface is quick and simple, and updates now include improved voice commands and faster navigation load times.
A new fully digital gauge cluster offers performance-focused displays that change based on your selected drive mode. Whether you’re in Sport or Track settings, everything from rpm to AWD torque distribution is right where you need it. The available JBL® sound system also delivers surprisingly crisp audio for a car that is this sporty.
Design That Demands Attention
It doesn’t try to blend in—and that’s part of the appeal. The aggressive stance, triple exhaust pipes, wide rear track, and bulging fenders are more than just design flair. Everything serves a purpose. From increased airflow to better cooling and optimized downforce, the exterior has been built to handle serious speed and grip.
For 2025, you’ll notice subtle updates like new wheel designs up to 18 inches, fresh exterior colour choices, and sharper headlight detailing. The Circuit Edition remains visually distinct, featuring a carbon fibre roof and unique badging for those looking to stand out even more.
Built to Perform, Comfortable Enough to Live With
Step inside, and the GR’s cabin surprises with more comfort than expected in a track-focused hatchback. The front sport seats are deeply bolstered and heated, offering support through hard cornering and comfort for daily drives. Materials are soft-touch where it matters, and the flat-bottom steering wheel adds to the car’s sporty vibe.
Despite its aggressive exterior, the interior isn’t cramped. Rear seating is workable for adults, and the hatchback cargo area can handle everything from grocery runs to weekend gear. Add in the durable upholstery and low-maintenance cabin materials, and you’ve got a car that fits real life as well as it fits the curves.
Rally-Bred Power Under the Hood
The hatch sports car’s heart is a 1.6-litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine that produces an impressive 300 horsepower. Depending on the trim, you’ll get either 273 or 295 lb-ft of torque, which gives the car serious mid-range pull. An eight-speed Direct Automatic Transmission with rev-matching keeps things authentic for driving enthusiasts.
It’s not just about speed—it’s about usable power. The GR-FOUR AWD system can send up to 70% of torque to the rear wheels, giving drivers better grip and control across varied road surfaces. With a combined fuel economy of around 9.8 L/100 km*, this GR model proves that performance doesn’t always mean sacrifice.
Safety Built into the Experience
Toyota’s commitment to safety is clear here. The Toyota comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0, including pre-collision braking, lane tracing assist, and adaptive cruise control. A rear-view camera, blind-spot monitor, and parking sensors round out the safety package—ensuring you’re protected whether you’re carving corners or commuting.
Award-Winning Legacy, Year After Year
From 2022 through 2024, the GR Corolla has earned its place in the spotlight. It was named 2024 Wards 10 Best Engines & Propulsion Systems winner, Editor’s Choice award recognized in Car and Driver’s 10Best lists. These honours reflect Toyota’s commitment to crafting a driver-focused machine that’s as reliable as it is thrilling.
Three Trims, All Fun
Drivers can choose from the Core, Premium, and Circuit Edition trims. The Premium trim adds creature comforts like suede seats and a better audio system, while the Circuit Edition delivers exclusive styling cues and performance perks. Pricing may vary, so for the latest information, we recommend checking directly with the manufacturer or contacting your local dealership.
