The 2026 Toyota GR Corolla: The Hot Hatch You’ve Been Waiting For

When it comes to details, the 2026 Toyota GR Corolla has got them fine-tuned… and you can expect all new ones for the latest model year. While this hot hatch didn’t get a full redesign, the GAZOO Racing crew added enough tweaks to showcase its performance and style in a way we’ve never experienced it before. Let’s get into it – our Orlando Toyota sales team is here to walk you through it.

What's New on the 2026 Toyota GR Corolla

What’s new on this hot hatch for the latest model year? Here are the highlights:

Toyota added almost 46 feet of structural adhesive to the front and rear of the car. This makes the chassis stiffer, which results in better grip and handling in corners and tight turns. You’ll love the sharper steering and refined suspension.
There’s also a new secondary air intake duct to ensure that turbocharged engine stays cool when you’re hitting the track hard.
The trims got simpler on the 2026 Toyota GR Corolla – you can now take it home in the GR Corolla and GR Corolla Premium Plus.
The JBL audio system is even better with nine premium speakers and a subwoofer in the trunk.
You’ve also got Active Sound Control – this pumps the engine sounds through the speakers based on how hard you’re accelerating.

Performance That Actually Surprises

The 2026 Toyota GR Corolla is powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter three-cylinder that gets 300 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Here are some more highlights to look forward to on this Orlando hot hatch:

It gets from 0–60 mph in just 5.4 seconds on the manual, and 5.1 seconds on the automatic.
It has GR-FOUR all-wheel drive, co-developed with Toyota’s World Rally Team, with a dial that lets you adjust how much power is sent to the front and rear.
Normal mode gives you a 60/40 split (front-heavy for everyday driving).
Gravel mode splits it 50/50.
Track mode goes 30/70 so the rear can slide around.
You’ve also got Torsen limited-slip differentials on both ends for optimal power distribution when accelerating or cornering.
The 2026 Toyota GR Corolla offers two transmissions: a six-speed manual with rev-matching, and an eight-speed automatic for seamless driving.
The Premium Plus trim also includes an extra transmission cooler, perfect for track use.

Aggressive, Track-Ready Style in this New Toyota

The 2026 Toyota GR Corolla is ready for the track every day and doesn’t hide it. Here’s what we love about the exterior and interior style.

The base GR Corolla features a functional hood with air vents, a rear spoiler, and distinctive 15-spoke wheels.
Inside, you get sport seats wrapped in Brin Naub suede with grey stitching.
Premium Plus models add a forged carbon fiber roof to reduce weight and lower the center of gravity.
Matte black wheels, a gloss black spoiler, and red interior stitching set the Premium Plus apart.
A Head-up Display projects important information so you can keep your eyes on the road.

The best part? The 2026 Toyota GR Corolla is still practical. You can haul groceries, count on a solid build, and stay comfortable.

Tech That Works for You: GR Corolla

Every 2026 Toyota GR Corolla comes standard with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and an 8.0-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Amazon Alexa is built in, along with an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot.
Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 comes standard, including pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and automatic high beams.
Automatic models also include Proactive Driving Assist, which gently brakes or steers to help maintain distance from other vehicles.

The Interior of the 2026 Toyota GR Corolla

We love the interior of this hot hatch. The sport bucket seats deliver race-inspired style while remaining genuinely comfortable and heated. Aluminum pedals, soft-touch dashboard materials, and an ergonomic layout complete the experience.

You’ll also find USB-C ports throughout the cabin, plenty of cupholders, and up to 35 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded flat.

Customize This Orlando Toyota Your Way

Customization is where the 2026 Toyota GR Corolla really shines. Toyota offers official accessories like roof racks, GR-branded floor mats, custom shift knobs, and door sill protectors.

Aftermarket options include GAZOO Racing–designed lowering springs, carbon fiber body panels, upgraded exhausts, and ECU tuning.
Want to go full race car? Add harness bars, titanium fasteners, and carbon fiber trim.
Prefer stock? You can keep it warranty-backed, add a few cosmetic touches, and hit the road.
