The only noticeable change appears to be a lack of sensors, so it\u2019s not entirely clear what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/toyota\/\">Toyota<\/a> is working on. However, we wouldn\u2019t be surprised if the company is planning a facelift or a new special edition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2024\/08\/2025-toyota-gr-corolla-has-an-eight-speed-auto-and-more-torque-than-ever\/\">2025 Toyota GR Corolla Adds Automatic And More Torque Than Ever<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s just a guess, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/toyota-corolla\/\">current Corolla<\/a> dates back to 2018 while the GR variant was introduced in 2022.
