Get the 2025 GR Corolla with an All-New Automatic Transmission

September 14th, 2024 by

Toyota is usually known for its reliable lineup of vehicles like the Corolla, RAV4, and its trucks like the Tacoma. While these are great vehicles, Toyota has delved into the performance world quite a few times, and this time, we’re getting the all-new 2025 GR Corolla.

Sure, the traditional Toyota Corolla is a great car for the family, but the GR Corolla turns things up a notch. It has more horsepower, a sporty hatchback design, and now an automatic transmission that helps you make the most out of its 300-horsepower engine.

Read on to learn more about what’s new with the 2025 GR Corolla.

The All-New GAZOO Racing Transmission

If you want to know what makes the 2025 GR Corolla special, it’s all about the GAZOO Racing Transmission. This transmission will debut in 2025 GR Corolla models and it’s an 8-speed transmission that responds to user inputs and habits to help you change gears at the perfect time.

What makes the GAZOO Direct Automatic Transmission (DAT) tick is its new software. The software monitors how a driver steps on the gas and brake pedals, which helps the transmission shift based on anticipation, which leads to a faster shifting experience.

Even Better Performance

In 2025, Toyota is cranking up the performance numbers on the GR Corolla to maximize its bond with the All-New GAZOO Direct Automatic Transmission. The 2025 models will be equipped with a turbocharged G16E-GTS 1.6-liter 3-cylinder turbo engine. It puts down an impressive 295 ft-lbs of torque and 300 horsepower.

Not only is the engine powerful, but it’s also fun to drive because it’s a high-revving engine that can handle 6,500 rpm. And don’t worry, Toyota accounted for the extra heat generated by this power plant by equipping all DAT GR Toyotas with an automatic transmission fluid cooling system.

Safety and Technology

The new engine and transmission set the GR Corolla apart, but where it excels the most compared to similar vehicles is the safety technology. It comes with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, which includes safety technology including:

  • Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
  • Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
  • Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
  • Lane Tracing Assist
  • Road Sign Assist
  • Automatic High Beams

These are only some of the highlights from Toyota’s Safety Sense 3.0.
