The 2026 Toyota GRMN Corolla pushes Toyota's all-wheel-drive hot hatch toward endurance-track duty rather than headline horsepower. Toyota caps global production at 730 cars and plans U.S. arrivals for late summer 2026. The Toyota GRMN Corolla price starts at $64,360; a $1,295 destination charge raises the sticker to $65,655 before options, taxes, title and dealer fees.
Same Horsepower, Stronger Midrange
Toyota retains the G16E-GTS 1.6-liter turbocharged three-cylinder, rated at 300 hp at 6,500 rpm. Specifically, torque rises from 295 to 302 lb-ft and peaks across 3,250-4,600 rpm, giving the driver more thrust when exiting a corner. A close-ratio six-speed iMT with rev-matching sends power through recalibrated GR-FOUR all-wheel drive.

Cooling, Aero and Chassis Hardware
Nürburgring and Super Taikyu testing shaped the hardware. In addition, an intercooler spray, cool-air duct and sub-radiator control intake temperatures during repeated full-throttle running. Carbon-fiber hood, fenders, front side spoilers and rear wing reduce mass while managing lift and wheel-well pressure; drivers can adjust the wing through five positions in 1-degree steps.
- Inverted front and upright rear monotube dampers use internal rebound springs to keep the inside tires loaded.
- Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires measure 245/40ZR18 and add 10 mm of section width.
- Recalibrated steering assistance and rearward torque allocation sharpen high-speed turn-in stability.
