2025 vs 2026 Toyota GR Corolla

The 2026 Toyota GR Corolla receives meaningful chassis, cooling, and technology updates while retaining the 300-horsepower turbocharged powertrain and transmission choices introduced for 2025. Toyota added 45.6 feet of structural adhesive to portions of the body to increase rigidity, improve rear grip, and allow the suspension to work more effectively during aggressive driving. A new secondary air intake duct also helps manage engine temperatures during sustained high-load driving. Toyota streamlined the 2026 lineup to two primary grades, GR Corolla and GR Corolla Premium Plus. The Premium Plus adds upscale performance-focused equipment such as a forged carbon-fiber roof, matte-black 18-inch wheels, Brin Naub® suede-trimmed sport seats with red stitching, and a Head-Up Display. Its JBL® Premium Audio system also gains nine speakers, including a luggage-compartment subwoofer, along with Active Sound Control.
