The 2026 Toyota GR Corolla is set to arrive with a starting MSRP of $37,195 for the Core grade, a $1,100 increase from the previous model year. The Circuit Edition will begin at $45,545, reflecting a $1,400 price hike. Toyota has also introduced a new Special Edition, the Circuit Edition GR Corolla, priced at $47,045.

New exterior color options include Ice Cap, Black, and Supersonic Red, with the Circuit Edition GR Corolla offering a distinctive Cyan Splash color.
