Basics About the 2022 Toyota Corolla Hatchback

Performance

With a 2.0 L, 4-Cylinder engine, the Corolla pushes out 168 horsepower and 151 lb-ft. of torque. It comes in either manual or automatic transmission. The manual transmission is fun to drive, and the automatic transmission is smooth and has a launch gear to improve initial acceleration. This makes either transmission a great choice. With 32 city and 41 highway MPG, it lives up to Toyota’s reputation for efficiency.

Front-wheel drive and a top-tier suspension system make the ride smooth, making it feel like you’re riding in a more expensive car. Not only that, but you can also opt to switch into sport mode for those moments when you need a little extra power.

Interior Comfort

The Corolla doesn’t sacrifice comfort for its driver. With optional dual-zone automatic climate control and heated seats, the cabin is well-appointed. Every Corolla comes equipped with a Multi-Information Display (MID) that gives an array of information to the driver. The leather-trimmed steering wheel comes standard with paddle shifters, audio controls, and hands-free phone and voice command controls.

The standard 8-inch infotainment system that comes in the Corolla is straightforward to use and is compatible with Apple Car Play, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa. The sleek design of the interior creates a clean, spacious feel. With the rear seats up, the hatchback offers a generous 17.8 cubic feet of cargo space, and the rear seats fold down to create even more room if you need it.

Exterior Style

The hatchback comes with standard LED headlights and taillights and available LED fog lights and an appealing low-slung profile. The Nightshade Edition offers a black accessory package that includes the sharkfin antenna, the grille surround, the Toyota emblems, the rims, and more. The black rear spoiler that comes standard on the Nightshade is also an option for the SE and XSE editions and makes a sleek style statement.

With so many colors and even several two-tone options to choose from, the Corolla is sure to come in a color combination that you love. Add to those options the different trim packages, and the exterior of the Corolla feels quite customizable.

Safety

The hatchback version of the Corolla has been awarded the IIHS Top Safety + Rating and a 5-Star overall safety rating from NHTSA, making it a top choice for buyers who are safety conscious. With 10 airbags, lane departure assistance, steering assistance, pedestrian alerts, and automatic braking when it detects an obstacle in front of you, the driver assistance features are exceptional.
