A leaked Canadian 2025 Toyota GR Corolla order guide has been circulating online. It was originally posted on the GR Corolla Forum, hinting at major upgrades to the car. According to this source, the 2025 GR Corolla will get an automatic transmission.Since its launch in 2023, Toyota has offered the GR Corolla only with a manual transmission. But finally, Toyota is going to equip the GR Corolla with an automatic transmission. The leak suggests that it's an 8-speed automatic unit, with an increase in peak torque. This could result in faster shifts and quicker 0–60 times. But, the automatic transmission will be optional, only for the top-end Premium trim.The 2025 GR Corolla may also get an upgraded manual transmission. This is because the leaked info suggests that even the base "Core" trim of the 2025 GR Corolla will get a bump in torque. We expect the base car to feature the EA68F 6-speed manual from the Morizo Edition. The 2025 GR Corolla Might Get A New Manual Transmission TooSince its launch, Toyota has offered two special editions of the GR Corolla. One is the Circuit Edition, which is still present on the lineup. The other one is the most aggressive, track-ready Morizo Edition.The GR Corolla Circuit Edition is a special edition with notable performance upgrades. It comes adorned with a bunch of carbon fiber exterior components. Also, standard are a pair of front and rear limited-slip differentials. Even so, the power output remains the same.The GR Corolla Morizo Edition, is a much more serious, track-spec machine. Unlike the Circuit Edition, the Morizo Edition offers added vigor. The Morizo Edition ups the standard 273 lb-ft (370 Nm) torque output of the regular GR Corolla to 295 lb-ft (400 Nm).The leaked order guide says that the 2025 GR Corolla with produce 295 lb-ft (400 nm) of torque as standard. Hence, we expect it to feature the upgraded transmission of the Morizo Edition. 2025 GR Corolla: More Upgrades And New FeaturesThe new GR Corolla models might flaunt a redesigned front bumper. Other promised novelties in the base 2025 GR Corolla include standard brake-cooling ducts. These might be the same offered in the Circuit Edition. A heated steering wheel is also part of the mentioned upgrades.In the higher-end Premium trim of the 2025 GR Corolla, we can expect more features and extras. For starters, Toyota could split the trim into two: Premium MT and Premium AT. Both variants reportedly receive a host of new features, inside out. The exterior would flaunt a new set of 18-inch Matte Black alloys. Under the hood, a new sub-radiator improves engine cooling. On the inside, dual-zone automatic climate control and a head-up display.Exclusive for the 2025 GR Corolla Premium AT are a bunch of extras. These include paddle shifters and full-speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. Intelligent Clearance Sonar is another new feature. It is an enhanced parking support system. It combines Park Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert with automatic braking.
