Modern Motoring - 2025 Toyota GR Corolla Automatic

The 2025 Toyota GR Corolla adds an automatic option, which Toyota expects to have a 1/10, or 10%, take rate this year.
It keeps the 1.6L turbocharged 3-cylinder engine with 300 horsepower.
New for 2025 is a bump in torque, which now sees 295 lb-ft.

Good on you, Toyota, for adding an automatic transmission here as part of the refresh to make this hot hatch accessible to more drivers.

Would you take the manual or this?
