Buyers in Talladega and Chelsea who are looking for a car that draws inspiration from the spunky, capable Rally circuit but is still perfect as their daily driver are going to be thrilled to test-drive the amazing new 2026 GR Corolla at Toyota of Sylacauga. While capable of taking on the track or a rally course, it features all the creature comforts you want on your daily commute.
The power in the 2026 GR Corolla comes from a 300-horsepower turbocharged 1.6-liter inline three engine. The transmission choices include a sporty six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters. All selections feature an adjustable all-wheel drive system to create your custom power distribution for your current driving conditions.
The basic interior design of the GR Corolla mirrors the standard hatchback, but with a few added upgrades, like more soft-touch materials and racier trim. The big difference in the front row is the set of racing seats that add comfort and safety while also making the car rally-ready. The rear seats fold flat for more cargo space than the hatch, with a capacity of three suitcases. The max area will handle around 15 carry-on bags. Standard GR upgrades include:
The GR Corolla features all the standard infotainment features, like an 8-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.
