New Hatch Version Arrives in Brazil with Eight-Speed Transmission and Exclusivity for the Circuit Configuration

The Toyota GR Corolla 2025 enters the Brazilian market with significant changes: it now offers an eight-speed automatic transmission option and will no longer import the entry-level Core version. The brand’s strategy aims to meet consumer demand for more convenience without sacrificing sporty performance, which stands out in the automotive sector.

Automatic Version Increases Appeal of the GR Corolla Model

The main novelty for 2025 is the inclusion of an eight-speed automatic transmission in the GR Corolla, developed by the Gazoo Racing sports division. According to Webmotors, the decision responds to a frequent request from customers seeking a more practical driving experience, especially for daily use. Nevertheless, the model continues to offer a manual transmission option, preserving its sporty essence.

Core Version Exits the Brazilian Market

The new Toyota GR Corolla 2025 is expected to arrive in Brazil later this year. The version that will come will be the most complete, called Circuit, with a manual or automatic transmission.

With the updates to the 2025 lineup, Toyota has chosen to discontinue the entry-level Core version in Brazil. The brand decided to focus solely on the more complete Circuit version, which has greater appeal among enthusiasts. This measure aims to simplify the portfolio and align the model’s positioning more closely with the profile of Brazilian consumers in the high-performance automotive segment, according to Toyota.

Possible Price Adjustment for the GR Corolla

Until now, the price of the GR Corolla had remained stable since its launch. However, with the arrival of the automatic transmission and the exclusivity of the Circuit version, industry experts are already projecting an adjustment. It is estimated that the new price of the sporty hatch could reach around R$ 500 thousand, considering the updates and the exchange rate scenario.

Performance Remains a Highlight of the GR Line

The GR Corolla continues to be equipped with the 1.6 turbo three-cylinder engine, capable of delivering 304 hp of power and 37.7 kgfm of torque. The GR-Four all-wheel drive and the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds keep the model as a benchmark among sporty hatches in the market. Even with the changes, Toyota reaffirms its commitment to combining performance and reliability within the competitive national automotive landscape.
