2022 Toyota Corolla Hatchback: Review & Ratings | Earnhardt Toyota

Shoppers love how the 2022 Toyota Corolla Hatchback comes in eight fun colors. Plus, a two-tone option adds a really sporty choice. A Midnight Black Metallic roof can be paired up with many of the main color choices.

Among the favorites, you’ll find Blue Flame, Wind Chill Pearl, and Galactic Aqua Mica. Metallics include Midnight Black, Classic Silver, and Magnetic Gray. Finish Line Red is the newest premium paint color.

With the Nightshade edition, all of the main elements have the blackout look. This is the custom paint shop look, but it is factory rendered and covered by warranty.

Designers achieved a consistency across elements by using complementary and contrasting elements. A premium look is elevated by Piano black and silver accents and the trim-specific contrast stitching.

The driver’s needs were emphasized throughout the cockpit. The result is an ergonomic layout that includes a specially designed chair, a tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel, and the latest in touch and voice controls.

Toyota puts either a 4.2-inch or 7-inch display behind the steering wheel. The larger thin-film transistor screen allows you to choose a digital speedometer and make other changes to personalize the display.

Rear seat passengers will appreciate 37.6 inches for legroom. The bench can be split-folded to utilize a seat and extra cargo space if needed.

The hatchback has a unique in-line four cylinder powertrain. This Dynamic Force engine generates 168 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. Of special interest to Phoenix AZ drivers, the variable cooling system for the engine also improves the cool-down functions of the air conditioner!!

The continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) mimics the feeling of driving a car with a ten-gear automatic transmission. It has a unique “first” gear that handles take-offs and then utilizes the CVT belt for all other functions. A front wheels drivetrain is standard.

Shoppers may also choose the 6 speed Manual Intelligent Transmission. Engine revs adjust automatically when you are changing gears in this smart car.

Fuel efficiency will vary by vehicle trim level, but all Corolla Hatchbacks are quite good at saving the owner money at the gas pump. For one thing, stop-start capability keeps the car from wasting fuel at red lights.

The SE CVT edition earns 32 mpg in the city, 41 mpg on the highway and 35 mpg combined. The XSE CVT trim level earns an estimated 33 mpg with 38 mpg highway. Fuel economy is 31 mpg combined and 36 mpg highway for both the SE and XSE manual editions.

If you are comparing the Corolla Hatchback to the Corolla sedan, you’ll see that the sedan has models with slightly better fuel economy. Also, the Corolla hybrid is only offered as a sedan edition at this time. It gets 52 mpg fuel economy.

Engineers worked to give this car a sense of balance and composure. The front and rear suspension are each designed for smoothing travel and absorbing bumps. The TNGA build is super strong and super tight. The use of aluminum for lighter weight was balanced with the need for high-strength steel inside the structure.

Quieting the ride even further, there is a one-piece floor silencer pad. Numerous sealants, foams, and other insulation have been strategically added to keep the cabin quiet. Clever Aero stabilizing fins on the taillights reduce noise.

One reason that shoppers like hatchbacks is the larger cargo hold. In this case, it is 17.8 cubic feet of usable space. That’s about four cubes more than the Corolla Sedan.

The back seat can fold down to give you even more room. The hatch door is made of lightweight materials to simplify opening and closing.

On the SE and XSE trim levels, there is an enhanced cargo space option. This adds another six cubic feet of space. It replaces the spare tire with a tire repair kit, a common feature in many cars today. The total space is about 24 cubic feet.

The SE trim level starts out buyers with all of the most vital technologies and features. The cockpit has automatic climate control, an electronic parking brake, and dual USB ports. It comes with the three-door SmartKey system to let you into the car or hatch.

For a dressier cabin,the XSE leather and fabric combination upholstery adds a soft, handsome style. Unique stitching dresses up the dash and doors. Both front positions have automatic climate controls and heated seats. The driver’s seat is an 8-way power chair.

The regular SE offers a standard black or Moonstone upholstery. Premium black fabric dresses the SE Nightshade seats. Both the black and moonstone colors are available in combination leather on the 2022 Toyota Corolla Hatchback XSE trim level.

If you prefer the sedan, it is offered in lower trim levels such as L and LE as well as SE and XSE.

With the XSE, you have the added benefits of HD Radio and Weather/Traffic info. If you choose the top of the range Premium Audio system, this includes an 8-speaker JBL system and dynamic navigation.

The Toyota Corolla Hatchback for sale has a distinctively sporty look. Chiseled lines and three-dimensional aspects add character to the car’s muscular physique. From the curb, the J-shaped headlamps add another distinctive aspect to the look. SE and XSE models upgrade to LED lights and alloy wheels.

The 16-inch SE wheels are dressed in a silver metallic paint. The Nightshade’s 18-inch wheels wear dark gray metallic paint. The XSE alloys are all black.

This car has covered all kinds of angles when it comes to safety. The front seats are whiplash-lessening chairs. Ten airbags are spread out on two rows.

A Road Sign Assist lets you know when you are coming up on a yield or stop sign. The pedestrian watch works in regular and low light for extra effectiveness.

Automatic high beams help the driver cope with nighttime stress. With the Adaptive Front Lighting System, the Bi-Beam LEDs can move to suit the speed, steering and pitch.

The Dynamic Radar Cruise Control and lane departure steering assist can reduce your stress in busy traffic. Lane Tracing Assist on the CVT models supplies another aspect of automation when you are on long straightaways. The available blind spot monitor and rear cross traffic alert add to the driver’s ability to avoid bad situations.

This Toyota has low operating costs starting with its favorable pricing and remarkable fuel efficiency. That continues with important bonuses that you won’t get with rivals such as the Honda Civic.
