FINALLY! 2025 TOYOTA COROLLA GR SPORT - EXCLUSIVE LOOK!
Hello friends. Across Europe, the novelties stretched far and wide – from expansions to the commercial business like the Proace Max van and Hilux Hybrid 48V to previews of the battery-powered innovations to come and many more. Interestingly, if you seek clues about what lies ahead from the automaker, the Old Continent remains a prime location to start exploring – they recently refreshed both the Yaris and Yaris Cross subcompact models. Now, if they advance, logic dictates that next in queue would be the record-breaking top-selling Corolla series. Indeed, the latter earned renown as a compact passenger car, but commencing with the E210 series, the nameplate also boasts a compact crossover SUV variant based on the same TNGA-C platform. Unveiled in 2020, the Corolla Cross stands as a significant global asset for Toyota as a more spacious alternative to the all-new second-gen C-HR or even the cornerstone of the CUV lineup – as seen in America. As such, speculation swirls – and the imaginative realm of digital automotive content creators concurs – that Toyota's Corolla Cross might be the next candidate for a swift upgrade. Certainly, opinions diverge, as some enthusiasts also anticipate the next 4Runner or a compact Land Cruiser to emerge. However, let's be candid – the Corolla Cross facelift presents a highly logical option as it requires considerably less effort than preparing the next-gen 4Runner or conceiving a third member of the Land Cruiser family from scratch. Therefore, Dimas Ramadhan, the virtual automotive artist behind the Digimods DESIGN channel on YouTube, has undertaken the task of unofficially unveiling the refreshed Corolla Cross. The design appears slightly more refined than its OEM counterpart, a notable feat considering the real-world Corolla Cross prioritizes functionality over flair from a design perspective. Naturally, the digital artist opted to tinker with the most appealing version, the Corolla Cross GR Sport. Remarkably, this variant remains unavailable across all markets – hence, it would be highly appealing to witness the 2025 Corolla Cross debut not only with a compelling redesign but also introducing the livelier GR Sport version to new territories, such as North America, for instance. As for technical specifications, none have surfaced – only speculations abound. As far as we're concerned, the existing powertrain options – 1.8L and 2.0-liter gasoline and hybrid variants – suffice. Nonetheless, it wouldn't be surprising if they were complemented by a new Corolla Cross Prime plug-in hybrid version adopting the 220-hp setup from the esteemed Prius Prime.
