The 2025 Toyota Corolla GR Sport, the sportiest civilian Corolla variant, is unveiled at the Toyota Gazoo Racing Season 7 finale. This sedan targets young drivers, even those with families, seeking a sporty feel for daily commutes. It boasts revised exterior features, an improved 10-speed Sport Sequential Shiftmatic CVT transmission, GR Sport leather and suede seats, and an upgraded infotainment display. While the 1.8-litre engine remains unchanged, revised ECU programming enhances responsiveness. The chassis features optimized electric power steering for smoother handling and improved throttle control during corner exits.
at the Toyota Gazoo Racing Season 7 finale, happening at the Petronas Sepang International Circuit now, but there’s another car on stage, one that’s a fair bit more attainable.
We’ll start with the gearbox, which UMWT calls a 10-speed Sport Sequential Shiftmatic. Replacing the standard CVT with seven virtual ratios , the ‘box here has more ratios that ‘allows for smoother transitions’ and each ratio has been ‘optimised for optimum performance’. The manual mode has enhanced response time and there are steering paddle shifters too, of course.
Like the old Vios GR-S and outgoing Corolla GR Sport, the 2025 car gets sharper handling than the 1.8 G thanks to retuned shock absorbers, rear coil springs and stabilisers. The result is reduced roll, pitch and bouncing, but the firmer damping and improvements to driving dynamics have not caused a loss of ride comfort, UMWT claims.
