Last year’s GR Corolla was more than $2,000 cheaper than the 2025 model: You’ll now pay at least $38,860 for a base 2025 GR Corolla (excluding destination), and if you want it with an automatic gearbox, the price rises to over $40k. While there are some tweaks made to improve the car for the new model year, it’s still a noteworthy increase in cost. Do you think this detracts from the GR Corolla’s allure, or does it retain its title of ‘performance bargain’ despite this?
