2026 Toyota GR Corolla review

Toyota GR Corolla: a sensible pick with a few compromises. Illustrative review

8.2/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Toyota GR Corolla is a strong contender in its class. Comfortable front seats on long trips; good trunk for the footprint. Rear headroom is tight for tall passengers and road noise on coarse pavement, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $39,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Bought it for the a long commute and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.

Exactly what we needed

The fuel economy is the standout. My only gripe is road noise on the highway, which I knew going in.
