You know how Toyota just keeps winning? They’re the biggest name in cars by value worldwide, and they’re crushing sales in places like the US and Europe. Back in North America, Toyota Motor North America pushed out 629,000 vehicles in Q3 2025 alone—that’s a solid 16% jump, putting them neck-and-neck with GM for second spot. Flip over to Europe, and Toyota Motor Europe’s already at 930,000 units for the year, snagging runner-up for the brand overall.
Talk about the Toyota’s GR Corolla most popular hatch has everything and people are speculating a SUV like version of it. Digital whiz Dimas Ramadhan, who runs the “Digimods DESIGN” spot on YouTube, thinks so. His CGI mockups paint a 2027 GR Corolla getting another tweak, pulling style straight from the RAV4 to blend track beast with practical edge. It’s the kind of idea that gets you excited—imagine a hatch that feels tied to your daily driver SUV.
Front and Back Overhauls
The new RAV4 for 2026? It steps up with those narrow, hooked LED headlights melting into a beefy “hammerhead” grille, plus a rear light bar that lights up the night like nobody’s business. Ramadhan grabs that look for his GR Corolla vision, but he doesn’t mess with what works—the wide hips, those air vents on the hood, and the 18-inch GR wheels stay put.
In the front, headlights are slimmed down and now looks much more sharper with chunkier grille. This reminds me of Toyota’s latest upgrades on the Prius to the Camry.
Around back, the taillights stretch out like the RAV4’s, forming that connected LED strip for better safety without touching the quad pipes or diffuser that scream performance. This builds right off the 2026 GR Corolla’s actual upgrades, like beefing up the frame with extra adhesive for stiffer handling and a fresh air scoop to feed the engine cooler.
Why i am serious about this rendering?
The RAV4’s tweaks cut cabin noise by 20%, and if that hits the GR Corolla, your 35 cubic feet of storage suddenly feels quieter and classier for gear runs or grocery hauls. It’s Toyota’s way of making everything feel connected—shop for an RAV4, and hey, that GR badge over there starts looking tempting.
Ramadhan’s designs spark ideas: Swap in the RAV4’s fifth-gen hybrid—a 2.5-liter four plus motors for 226-236 hp in standard AWD or 324 hp/52-mile EV range on the plug-in. In the GR Corolla, that’d mean 320+ hp, sub-four-second launches via instant 153 lb-ft torque, and 41 mpg mixed—easing emissions in Europe and gas costs stateside.
