Presenting the New Toyota GRMN Corolla Ahead of Its Official Reveal | Carscoops

      The leaked images of the carbon-clad hot hatch have emerged following a dealer event.

      The Toyota GRMN Corolla has surfaced ahead of its anticipated launch later this year.

      This model showcases a carbon fiber hood and spoiler, along with several new vents.

      Inside, it features lightweight sport seats, a microfiber steering wheel, and GRMN branding.

      The Toyota GR Corolla is an impressive hot hatch, but the company has been open about plans to roll out an even more high-performance version. A GRMN prototype was spotted at the Nürburgring in the fall of 2024, and it seems the vehicle is now ready for its much-anticipated unveiling.

      Recently, photos and videos surfaced from what appears to be a dealer event, showcasing an extreme hatchback with a ventilated carbon fiber hood, complemented by new vents located above and behind the front fenders. The car is also equipped with lightweight wheels finished in bronze, paired with striking red calipers.

      The rear of the vehicle largely remains similar, yet it features an aggressive diffuser and a carbon fiber rear wing, along with a recognizable three-pipe exhaust system.

      The interior has received a racing-inspired update, with lightweight sport seats upholstered in leather and microfiber. This material is also present on the sport steering wheel and the six-speed manual transmission, which includes red accents. Notably, there is a “GRMN” badge located behind the drive mode selector.

      Full details are expected to be revealed soon, but it’s clear the GRMN Corolla will be a more extreme version than the standard model. To recap, the 2025 GR Corolla is powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter three-cylinder engine producing 300 hp (224 kW / 304 PS) and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque. It can be equipped with either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission, along with all-wheel drive and front and rear limited-slip differentials.

      This setup allows the car to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 4.9 seconds, reaching a top speed of 143 mph (230 km/h). The GRMN Corolla is expected to be even quicker, particularly due to its emphasis on reducing weight.

Why the Moment for Small Electric Vehicles in America Is Here Why the Moment for Small Electric Vehicles in America Is Here Having driven a Fiat Topolino earlier this summer, I'm now convinced that small electric vehicles are quite practical, even if you don't reside in NYC or LA. Chrysler is issuing a recall for minivans due to defective side curtain airbags. Stellantis is recalling 92,772 vehicles in the U.S. related to two distinct issues. Thousands of Jeep Grand Cherokee plug-in hybrids may experience a loss of drive power. Additionally, several Pacifica and Voyager minivans may contain faulty side curtain airbags. Stellantis has initiated two recalls affecting nearly 100,000 vehicles. The problems vary, involving both airbag defects and loss of drive power. In the first case, Jeep is recalling 91,787 Grand Cherokee 4xe plug-in hybrids from the 2022-2026 model years due to a software glitch that can lead to propulsion loss. According to government reports, the SUVs might encounter an overload of the Battery Pack Control Module microprocessor, leading to a reset. During some resets, the Hybrid Control Processor may incorrectly read a signal from the Battery Pack Control Module, possibly resulting in a loss of drive power. The automaker has logged 96 customer assistance records, 110 field reports, and 320 additional records possibly connected to the issue, although no accidents or injuries have been reported. Unfortunately, there is currently no solution available. Airbag Concerns in Minivans The second recall pertains to 985 Chrysler Pacifica and Voyager minivans from the 2025 model year, which have side curtain airbags that are not properly sealed. This could lead to insufficient pressure retention during deployment. The issue was identified this summer during an ejection mitigation test on a 2025 Pacifica, which did not meet the excursion limit requirement, prompting an investigation. This investigation revealed a manufacturing issue with the supplier, and the problem will be rectified by replacing the side curtain airbags with properly sealed ones.

The only thing heavier than this 2026 M5 is the depreciation loss that its first owner has just experienced.
