Toyota is going wild with the GR Corolla. It is essentially a factory-bred tuner car based on the Corolla hatchback, enshrouded in a brash body kit and stuffed with a 300-horsepower turbocharged engine. That three-cylinder powerplant is paired with a six-speed manual transmission and it drives all four wheels. For 2025, Toyota also began offering an eight-speed automatic. The engine also got a slight bump in torque. Boosting traction are wide UHP summer tires. Beyond the obligatory sporty trim details throughout the cabin, the GR Corolla notably has a 12.3-inch display for the instrument panel, rather than analog gauges. The Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 (aka TSS 3.0) suite is standard equipment on all GR Corollas, packing the latest active safety features from the automaker. And despite the extreme performance that the GR Corolla promises, it is backed by a regular 3-year warranty and includes two years of free maintenance.
