The new and improved 2025 Toyota GR Corolla represents an unexpected but much-appreciated update for Toyota’s still-young hot hatch, adding torque, suspension enhancements, and an available eight-speed auto.

Including the $1,135 destination charge, the 2025 GR Corolla Core with the new eight-speed automatic starts at $41,995. Don’t even think about trying to go for the manual to save a few bucks, as that price has risen as well. A GR Corolla with the six-speed now starts at $39,995 including destination, $2,360 more than the 2024 model year.

Such as, say, the Toyota GR Corolla. For the 2025 model year, the base price of Toyota's all-wheel-drive hot hatch is climbing from $37,365 to $39,995 — a $2,630 increase. In other words, the cost of getting into a new GR Corolla inflated by 7% over the last year.

You will now pay $38,860, a $2,360 increase over last year's starting price of $36,500 for the base GR Corolla Core trim level. The eight-speed automatic adds $2,000 to the price, bringing it to $40,860 for the cheapest two-pedal model. These prices exclude a $1,135 dealer processing and handling fee.
