GR Prius… is it happening or not?

They’ve announced the 2025 GR Corolla and the 2025 Prius Prime, but I remember hearing about a GR Prius coming this fall. Haven’t seen any updates though. Anyone know if this is still a thing?

Where’d you hear that?

I saw it online back in the spring.

Probably one of those clickbait slideshow videos, huh?

If they did that, it would water down the GR brand. Haven’t seen anything official though.

A GR Prius sounds like the definition of an oxymoron.

How is this an oxymoron though? It’s a one-off, but it looks and probably drives amazing.

Sure, it looks cool, and that one does, but think about what people associate with GR and Prius:

GR = racing, sporty, fast

Prius = fuel efficiency, comfy daily driving

It’s like if Nissan made a Leaf Nismo, lol.

@Vincent
GR is more about top trims and enthusiast features than just speed. GR86 isn’t exactly fast, but it has the handling and extras for car people. Honestly, I’d pick a GR Prius with AWD over a GR86 or Corolla.

Oh, and Nissan did make a Nismo Leaf.

@GaryRoberts
People always think the GR86 is fast… until they actually drive one, haha.

And yeah, that Nismo Leaf is wild. At least they didn’t just slap a badge on a regular Leaf and call it a day.

A GR Prius is pretty unlikely. The GR86’s chief engineer even said there won’t be any more GR models.

They’re not making a GR Prius. That one at Le Mans was just a show car.

Haven’t heard anything about this either.
