Toyota recently announced an all-new vehicle in its lineup, and with that announcement has come to a lot of buzz and excitement. The 2019 Corolla Hatchback combines the appealing features of the beloved Corolla with more cargo space and an updated body style. Take a look at how this new model can keep up on all your adventures with its flexibility.

Different From the Outside

At first glance, you’ll see how the 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback differs from the sedan. From the front end, the blunt oversized grille is certainly eye-catching. The back end of the body shows off a rounded liftgate with a rear spoiler and LED taillights that frame it nicely.

Standard exterior features include LED daytime running lights and reflector headlights, a dark gray grille surround, heated and power-adjustable side mirrors with integrated turn signal indicators, 16-inch alloy wheels, and a chrome rear diffuser. On the highest trim level, you’ll find 18-inch machined alloy wheels, chrome exterior accents, LED fog lights, and an available adaptive front lighting system.

Cabin Features

Within the cabin of the Corolla Hatchback, you’ll also notice a few differences. Every trim level comes equipped with sports seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and two USB charging ports. Standard tech features include Toyota’s Entune infotainment system with Apple CarPlay smartphone integration, Siri Eyes Free voice controls, an eight-inch touch screen, Bluetooth connectivity, and a six-speaker audio system.

You can also upgrade your vehicle with features like an eight-speaker JBL audio system, navigation, selectable driving modes, leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and a wireless charging pad. The cargo area also boasts more storage space than the trunk of the Corolla sedan, measuring in at 17.8 cubic feet. It’s easier to store bulky items or a full load of groceries with the extra 4.8 cubic feet of space.

Power and Performance

Beneath the hood of the 2019 Corolla Hatchback, you’ll find a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 155 pound-feet of torque and 168 horsepower. This is a more powerful unit than the standard engine in the sedan, giving you more horsepower and torque as you navigate the roads. The hatchback’s engine pairs with an intelligent manual transmission in the base and top trim levels and a dynamic-shift continuously variable transmission in the mid-level trim.

Safety Features

Both the 2019 Corolla sedan and hatchback come equipped with a suite of features designed to keep you and your passengers safe. These include stability and traction control, anti-lock brakes, and eight advanced airbags throughout the seating area.

The Corolla Hatchback also adds Toyota’s Safety Connect system, which includes emergency assistance, automatic collision notification, and stolen vehicle locator, and Toyota Safety Sense 2.0, a suite with improved low-light capabilities for the pedestrian detection system, road edge detection, lane tracing assist, and road sign assist. This package also comes with lane departure alert with steering assist, a pre-collision system, and dynamic radar cruise control.
