Powertrain
Under the hood, you’ll find Toyota’s dependable and efficient 2.0-liter inline-4 Dynamic Force engine. Amazing fuel economy and low emissions are achieved with the Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) technology, which continually adjusts intake and exhaust camshaft timing. The Corolla gets an excellent EPA-rated 41 mpg highway with this innovative system.
The engine produces 168 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque, which provides lively acceleration when paired with the Corolla Hatchback’s low weight of just over 3,000 pounds. As for the transmission, buyers can choose the Dynamic Shift Continuously Variable Transmission or a 6-speed manual that features intelligent rev-matching. Whichever option you go with, you’ll be able to enjoy an engaging driving experience.
Exterior
With its more aggressive stance and slick lines, the Corolla Hatchback’s exterior styling is easy on the eyes. Its sporty nature is highlighted by the large mesh grille in front and the muscled appearance of the rear bodywork. Available LED fog lights make the car look even more dramatic at night, and the available 18-inch alloy wheels bring an added edge.
A sleek blacked-out appearance comes courtesy of the SE Nightshade Edition model. It sports blackened 18-inch wheels, front lower grille trim, spoiler, and side rocker panels. Standard LED taillights complete the model’s unique look.
Interior
Just like the bold exterior, the Corolla’s interior cabin screams style. The dashboard features clean lines, contrast stitching, and high-quality soft-touch material. XSE models offer heated premium leather-trimmed sport seats and dual-zone automatic climate control. There’s comfortable seating for five and behind the 60/40 split-folding rear seats is a cargo volume of 17.8 cubic feet.
Infotainment System

The responsive touchscreen is supplemented with several accessible knobs and buttons for easier control. A premium listening experience is available with the 8-speaker JBL audio system.
Safety
The Corolla boasts an exceptional array of driver assists with its Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 technology suite compared with its competitors. All models come standard with the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, automated emergency braking, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. There’s also Road Sign Assist, which keeps drivers informed about speed limits, no entering signs, and stop/yield signs.
