What’s New for the 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback?

2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback

The all-new 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback is replacing the Corolla iM, which was lumped under the Corolla name after the demise of Scion. The previous version only offered one trim, but the new Corolla Hatchback adds one additional trim plus lots of extra features.

The 2019 Corolla Hatchback is built on a new platform and has a greater engine displacement, providing a reliable and versatile ride.
