The 2025 Toyota GR Corolla is a rally-bred hot hatch with the same 1.6-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine from the GR Yaris, producing 300 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. A 6-speed manual transmission is the only option, paired with Toyota's GR-FOUR all-wheel-drive system that can distribute torque 50:50 between the front and rear axles. The Circuit Edition adds a carbon-fiber roof, forged wheels, and Torsen limited-slip differentials on both axles. Short-throw shifter action and rev-matching capability enhance driving engagement. The aggressive bodywork includes a functional hood scoop, triple exhaust pipes, and widened fenders housing sticky Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.
