The exterior of the Corolla Hatch is lower, wider, and shorter than its predecessor. Its silhouette has been designed to improve the vehicles handling and increase its performance. The all New Corolla Hatch is powered by advanced hybrid and petrol engines which takes its performance to a whole new level. Every facet of the New Corolla Hatch has been meticulously streamlined to deliver impressive performance with remarkable fuel efficiency at 6.1 Litres per 100 Kilometres.

Toyota has fitted a new transmission with a fixed first gear ratio to give it a more regular feel and to disguise some quirks of a continuously variable transmission. The power on the Corolla is transmitted from its Turbo engine to the wheels through an intelligent manual transmission on the manual model or an automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT)

The interior has a simple design controlled by a wide, flat dashboard and an 8.0-inch touchscreen. The touchscreen is responsive, easy to navigate, and is backed up by analog buttons that shortcut to specific menus, as well as all important buttons for controlling cabin temperature and audio volume. The Toyota Corolla Hatch is designed to stand out from the crowd with its lush exterior and comfortable and futuristic interior. Come into CMH Toyota Alberton and test drive the all new Toyota Corolla Hatch today.
