Toyota is again heating up competition in the hot hatch segment by releasing an update for the 2025 model GR Corolla. This justifies the rumors previously circulating and VOI has discussed. In addition to presenting an automatic transmission option, Toyota GAZOO Racing has also increased the performance and control of this car.

In the manufacturer's release, quoted on August 2, one of the most significant changes is the presence of an eight-acceleration automatic transmission option. Although manual transmission remains a standard choice, the presence of this automatic transmission will certainly attract consumers who want more comfort. Toyota claims that this automatic transmission is very smart and can adjust dental turnover to the driver's driving style.

In addition to the new transmission, Toyota also increased the performance of the 1.6 liter turbocharged three cylinder engine. The maximum torque now reaches 400 Nm, up from the previous 370 Nm. The power remains at 300 dk. This change makes GR Corolla have a more responsive performance.

To improve control, Toyota performs several changes to the suspension, including the addition of front and rear shock damping. In addition, the trailing arm installation point behind the arm was also raised to reduce the symptoms of the squat during acceleration.

All variants of the 2025 Corolla GR will be equipped with face and rear finite selip differentials. This feature was previously only available as an option on the Performance package for the basic variant and became standard on the Premium and Circuit Edition variants.

In terms of design, Toyota is updating the front bumper to increase cooling efficiency. These changes are needed to accommodate radiators, intercoolers, brake channels, additional cooling, and automatic transmission oil cooling.

Toyota offers three variants for the 2025 GR Corolla, namely Core, Premium, and Premium Plus. The highest variant, Premium Plus, comes with a number of additional features such as carbon fiber roofs, engine hoods with air ventilation, and black rims.

The Toyota GR Corolla 2025 is scheduled to go on sale by the end of this year, with prices to be announced approaching launch date.
