The 2026 Toyota GRMN Corolla is set to be the most special Corolla ever built, but it comes with a hefty price tag. Starting at nearly $65,000, this ultra-limited GRMN model is certainly not going to be cheap. Toyota's basic GR Corolla is already a unique and lovable take on a hot hatchback, but the GRMN variant takes it a step further. Although the power output remains the same, the unique suspension components and increased torque make it completely distinct from its off-the-shelf relative.
According to a Toyota release, the GRMN Corolla has an MSRP of $64,360. This is nearly triple the price of the basic Corolla sedan and almost $25,000 more than the basic GR Corolla's listed $40,520 MSRP. The GRMN Corolla moves into a new performance car pricing tier, lining up with the starting price of a Ford Mustang Dark Horse and leaving it nearly $5,000 below a base BMW M2.

Add in the extra torque and 66 pounds of weight savings, and the hot hatch seems worthy of its "GR Master of the Nürburgring" badging. While the price may incur sticker shock in the sort of buyer who expects any Corolla to be a bargain, it will be a problem that ends up impacting very few owners, as just 730 units are scheduled for production globally.
American buyers will have to compete against customers throughout the world to get their hands on the coveted Corolla. For comparison, Toyota sold 9,940 GR86s in the U.S. alone last year. The price may be steep, but for those who can afford it, the 2026 Toyota GRMN Corolla promises to be an exhilarating driving experience.
