What’s New on the 2019 Corolla Hatchback?

It’s always exciting to find out what’s new on the car front, and the 2019 Corolla Hatchback has a few surprises.

Under the Hood

The 2019 Hatchback has a new engine purring under the hood in the form of a 2.0-liter Inline-four cyliner naturally aspirated engine with the name “Dynamic Force.” The 16-valve twin-cam engine features a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and the D4-S system, which is a fuel-injection system for both port and direct fuel. The Corolla Hatchback is available with an automatic or six-speed manual transmission.

Performance

The new engine produces 168 horsepower and 168 pound-feet of torque. With adaptive cruise control at your fingertips, the Corolla Hatchback provides a fun, dynamic, and well-balanced driving experience. Good road grip and a solid suspension system provide smoother driving, responsiveness on curves, and power to the pedal when it’s needed. It’s estimated that the Corolla will do a little better than previous testing, which had a CVT-equipped vehicle going from zero to 60 mph in 9.1 seconds.

Technology

Several enhancements are available on the Hatchback, depending on the trim and model. For example, the XSE is fitted with a 7.0-inch digital screen bordered on each side by gauges, while the SE is fitted with a 4.2-inch screen. Both have easy access to an 8.0-inch touchscreen and the Entune infotainment system. The addition of Apple CarPlay is a plus across the Toyota line.

The 2019 Corolla Hatchback is not only practical, but it’s safe and fun to drive. With its exterior design promoting the Toyota grille, LED headlights, creative rear design, and overall stylistic lines, it makes an impression wherever it goes.
