2022 Toyota Corolla Hatchback
The Corolla Hatchback replaces the Corolla iM and shares major components with the 2020 redesigned Corolla sedan. The most enjoyable aspect of the Corolla hatchback is how well it tackles curvy roads, exhibiting an athletic demeanor with quick reflexes and a taut, tied-down attitude. But the ride is stiff and the car is loud, the latter due mostly to the raspy engine that usually seems like it’s working too hard. However, the 36 mpg overall it achieves is impressive. The front seats hug occupants nicely inside the tight cabin, but the rear seat is super cramped. Controls are very easy to use and connectivity is up to date with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Forward-collision warning and automatic emergency braking are standard. Blind-spot warning became standard for the 2026 model year.

Brand context
About Toyota
<p>Toyota has a reputation for building efficient and exceptionally reliable vehicles. This holds true in most cases, with a few exceptions. Most of their models do well in our testing, thanks to their impressive fuel economy, comfortable rides, quiet cabins, good controls, and generous standard safety equipment. All of this makes Toyotas among the best options for used vehicles. The brand was a hybrid pioneer, starting with the original Prius. Toyota has evolved and expanded that technology, and most vehicles in its lineup are available as a hybrid. Toyota sells a number of plug-in hybrids and an increasing number of EVs, including the bZ and C-HR. The company also knows how to add a dosage of excitement into its lineup: The GR86, GR Corolla, and Supra are legit, fun-to-drive sports cars.</p>
