More power and a new gearbox

People who own the 2025 Toyota GR Corolla are said to have shared the buying guide on Facebook. It says that all cars will have more torque, going from 273 to 295 pound-feet at their peak and that the automatic transmission will only be available on the mid-level Premium grade. The second release would be like the Morizo Edition, which was mostly tracks and was canceled.

The order guide for the GR Corolla includes a few other changes that make it better, in addition to the new gear option and more torque. The front bumpers of all cars will be updated, but no one knows what will change. The base Core model still only comes with a manual transmission, but it does come with brake cooling vents and a heated steering wheel. The Premium model adds a head-up display, automatic temperature control for two zones, and a sub-radiator that is meant to cool the engine better. It comes with a set of 18-inch matte black wheels as well.

Tuition may get the same updates if it stays in the lineup for 2025, even though it’s not mentioned in the buying guide. A Toyota representative told Invoice Pricing that the company does not have any information to share at this time about the rumored changes to the 2025 GR Corolla.
