If you’re a fan of hatchback cars, you’re in luck because the Corolla’s SE and XSE trims are available in the popular body style. That means you’ll enjoy dependable performance and an amenity-rich interior, along with the advantages that come with the raised roofline. Here’s a quick introduction to the 2023 Toyota Corolla Hatchback—available at your local Toyota dealer!

Power and Performance

Hatchback models are motivated by a 2.0L Dynamic Force inline-4 engine that produces 169 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. Combined with the car’s low weight of 3,060 pounds and Dynamic-Shift continuously variable transmission, this powerplant aids in delivering prompt acceleration and an impressive fuel economy.

Thanks to the well-tuned MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension, the Corolla Hatchback promises a good balance between responsive handling and smooth ride quality. Excellent stopping power is provided by power-assisted 11.5-inch ventilated front disc brakes, 10.5-inch solid rear disc brakes, and an electronically controlled braking system.


Passenger Cabin

Step into the Corolla, and you’ll find an ultra-modern interior design that uses a generous amount of high-quality, soft-touch materials. Vehicle controls are simple to use, yet offer lots of functionality. Like the sedan, the hatchback comfortably seats five people but has slightly more headroom. Behind the 60/40 split-folding rear seating, you’ll get 17.8 cubic feet of cargo space.

XSE models come standard with dual-zone automatic climate control, a wireless smartphone charging station, and SofTex-trimmed sport seats with heating and 8-way power-adjustability for the driver. They’re also equipped with a 7-inch digital instrument panel that has several customization settings.


Infotainment System and Connectivity

All Corolla Hatchbacks come with an intuitive 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen, providing support for wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration and SiriusXM satellite radio. An available 8-speaker, 800-watt JBL premium audio system delivers rich trebles and booming bass. Both rows feature dual USB-C ports for wired connections. Passengers can connect to the internet while on the go with the help of a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot.

With Toyota’s connected services, you’ll have access to periodic vehicle health reports, stolen vehicle location, and Drive Connect Cloud Navigation.


Driver Assists

Not only has the Corolla earned a five-star crash rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, but it offers a slew of driver assistance technologies to help keep you and your passengers safe. These include a pre-collision system that can detect pedestrians, automated high beams, and adaptive cruise control. The car’s lane departure monitoring system has steering assistance to help ensure that the vehicle stays safely within its lane.

Speed limits, stop signs, and warning signs are easier to keep track of with the standard road sign detection system.
