Exciting Updates for the 2025 Toyota GR Corolla
- Leaked information hints at an 8-speed automatic option for the 2025 Toyota GR Corolla.
- The torque output of the 1.6-liter turbo engine may be increased to 295 lb-ft.
- These upgrades could make the 2025 GR Corolla more appealing to a wider audience.
Automatic Transmission Option for the GR Corolla
Manual transmissions are becoming less common, but the GR Corolla has always offered them. However, a leaked document suggests that an 8-speed automatic transmission might be available soon.
According to sources, the 2025 model in Canada could feature this automatic transmission option, limited to the Premium trim level. The document also mentions steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
Enhanced Engine Performance
The same document indicates that the turbocharged 1.6-liter engine could see a boost in torque output. While this sounds promising, there are doubts about the legitimacy of the information as the current torque output is already high.
Additionally, the updated GR Corolla is rumored to come with a revised front bumper, new standard equipment like brake cooling ducts and a heated steering wheel, and improved engine cooling with a new radiator on the Premium variant.
Potential Upgrades and Pricing
While the authenticity of the leaked document remains uncertain, Toyota has not dismissed the idea of introducing an automatic transmission for the GR Corolla. The starting price for the 2024 model in the US is $36,500, with different trim levels available including the premium Circuit Edition.
