Toyota GR Corolla coming to Europe in 2026

Matt Harrison, the CEO of Toyota Europe, the company will officially bring the GR Corolla to the Old World countries next year.

The hot hatch has been in production in Japan for four years now. It used to be exported into the United States among other markets, but with a 25% tariff enacted by President Donald Trump, doing so is no longer viable.

After some consideration, Toyota decided to launch a second assembly line in the UK to circumvent the tariffs. UK-made GR Corollas will be subject to a much smaller 10% import fee.

Back when the decision was first announced, we didn’t know whether the company intended to actually sell the GR Corolla in Europe – or even just the UK, for that matter. Some said it could be for overseas exports only. Well, it’s now official that the cars will be offered in the entire EU in 2026.
