all-new Toyota Corolla Hatchback Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- Toyota is trying to move the Corolla from a logical, practical buying decision to one of passion and sportiness. With a larger car, built on Toyota's global platform, this new Corolla hatchback with independent rear suspension, is a good handling car with 168hp and 151lb-ft. of torque thanks to a 2.0L engine. The all-new Corolla Hatchback is sold with a 6-speed manual transmission or a new CVT that has a rear, 1st gear cog then it reverts to a CVT. This hybrid style of transmission helps to alleviate the delay that can be experienced with an CVT. The all-new Toyota Hatchback compact car has apple car play, an 8-inch display audio screen but no android auto.
We like hatchbacks, we love toyotas, we hate sunroofs and have no kids sounds and looks like a winner👍
Hate sunroof myself.
I love, love,love it. I am a 52 year old man . I have a Porsche 911 and this would be a PERFECT everyday car!!!!!!! 😊😊😊🖒🖒🖒❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Drove the CVT. Amazing drive. Smoother, faster and holds the road. Its been the best selling hatch in Australia 5 years in a row now. Looks like this model will do the same.
cvt is garbage
Trevor Smith not everyone wants manual.
@@kompa2004 ya only the people who know how to drive
Ctv is garbage. Extremely problematic after years of use
@@trevorsmith185 I know how to drive it lol
I owned manual just prefer the automatic. I drive in the city all the time. It's annoying having to change the gear all the time.
Finally a competitive Corolla? It's been years. I love the 10th gen Civic but I don't like the looks of the hatch. The Corolla hatch actually looks better than the Civic hatch right now.
Craig Chevalier yeah the Civic hatchback, especially the rear end is a letdown.
Yeah civic is too flashy and tries too hard.
Honda Civic had been at the top of my list to replace my aging Accord, however, Honda’s turbo engine which is in various Accords and Civics, is having well-publicized reliability issues, in addition to transmission problems. Hondas even have problems with paint peeling! Toyota makes a higher quality, more reliable product.
Yeah they made a mistake releasing the Type R and the Civic Si. They should have stuck with the Si only and NA engine only.
Can argue either way, but the fact that Toyota gets away from extraneous chrome makes more sense than what Honda does. Details. Unfortunately, NONE of the Asian cars aside from maybe the Lexus IS have the refined style of a German car or a Volvo. When the Golf electric arrives, I think it will be the best-selling compact alternative fuel/hybrid/electric car. The E-golf with 300 miles range only needs better-looking wheels. I have seen this Corolla in person and its backside very unattractive. It's almost as if the designers are required to fuck up one big thing on these Japanese bodies. If this is a car worth considering, I think when its body contours are improved and made even more minimal with aggression/sportiness, then we'll have one very attractive compact car.
I'll probably end up buying one of these eventually.
furballbear same.
As far as no turbo that is a big PLUS ++ the turbos when 5-6 yrs old 160000 km will be toast!
Beautiful car, but I HATE when car companies use the tablet-style GPS/radio. Its almost a deal breaker for me if I was shopping for a vehicle. I prefer the GPS integrated into the dash over the tablet-style. My personal preference.
Nice to see companies still making manual transmissions too.
Great review!
It's called infotainment. it does more than navigation and radio
Call it whatever you want, regardless of what it does and the functions it serves its "my personal preference". All I am saying is "I" am not a fan, that's all.
Bought the CVT model. Test drove it right after the Im, the 2019 feels world's smoother. Without a doubt a dream to drive. Unfortunately a little loud on rough roads. But fantastic shift and feels larger than it is. I just wish the spare tire didn't cut down on the space in the trunk. Would 100% recommend to others.
Yet another excellent review. Very well shot and edited- thanks. I would have little problems recommending this hatch to anyone. I love how simple it can be (w/ manual), however with options it does get a bit pricey. Thanks again.
I am hoping for a hot version of this Corolla, 200-220 hp from naturally aspirated 2 liter and I am ready for Tofu delivery.
Sir, you're definitely my new youtube friend.
Well, they went through the trouble of swapping the rear suspension with multi-link instead of double wishbone just for the Corolla,(all other TNGA-C cars have double wishbone setup) they must be up to something
LOL
RIGHT! this new corolla reminds me of the OG AE86! naturally aspirated, FR, and manual transmission! all we need is a sports version
Rumor says Toyota is developing GRMN Corolla with 2 engines,
First is 1.6L 3 cylinder turbo engine said to be shared with next gen GRMN Yaris, 230~240ps
Second is rumored to be Turbo version of 2.0L Dynamic Force engine 280~300ps
It's a small hatchback car not a luxury sedan. I love this car, it's mixing the beauty, power and simplicity, keeping the old style adding a little technology to it.
I’m picking up the SE model today ... 😊
Kal Ab how you liking it? I want the XSE
You didn't mention the level of noise in the cabin. Did toyota insulate the cabin well because the old version was very noisy inside.
Port AND direct injection , say goodbye to carbon build up.
Zack, great review. It looks pretty good, this is a good 1st car for my Son. Toyota will have great resale value too.
Thanks for the review. Enough pluses for a daily driver. Past 2005 and 2010 Matrix owner. Now 2012 Yaris SE which will soon be a Corolla Hatchback SE or SE plus with a stick! My wife and I still love the manual and will look forward to the 6 speed and the near 60 more hp than her Yaris SE. And the 30 plus hp more than my leased 2015 Corolla S, which will turn into a C-HR or RAV4 in 2020.
Love your reviews and video style! Many thanks.
you have the best illustration on how that actual 1st gear in a toyota's corolla cvt.
6:00, I hate the fact that satellite radio in many models is now pushed to the higher trim levels. Wish Toyota would "layer" on some Android Auto, a lot of us use Google Maps in the car on a regular basis, even the over-50 crowd like me. I think it's a decent car otherwise, but did the Plymouth Horizon have more space in the back than this?
Ronald P, I know right. I mean how much would it add to the price of any model. 100 dollars or so? It’s pretty much standard across The Hyundai line.
that's no mazda soul red but damn it thats a pretty close substitute.
I want the manual version so badly. Dying breed
Wonderful review. Informative, unbiased and some good personal insight on the vehicle. An interesting new hatchback, but I'll let a couple more iterations of it release before looking into it.
The best of the usually always unremarkable Corolla, so well done there. Great colour too!
Zack, This is undoubtedly a highly evolved and competitive car but I am glad you highlighted the diminished headroom. Many Matrix/ Vibe owners will really feel the ceiling is pushing down on them when they sit in this for the first time. I also think the rearward visibility is a let down. During the build up to the release of this new hatch, many people commented on the hope/need for the Camry's 200hp 2.5 engine to be an option. Guess what, the bigger/heavier Camry actually gets better highway fuel economy with its more powerful engine. Lastly, with hundreds of thousands of Matrix/Vibes sold in Canada, I really hope Toyota considers selling us the Corolla wagon they offer in Europe.
Right Lane Hog excrllent point about engine power and MPG. Looking at the specs for subcompact, compact, and midsize vehicles, the subcompacts often arent more efficient, and even less efficient, than larger offerings from within the same brand. Same between conpacts and midsize. Makes no sense to me. Compare Camry and Yaris, Sonata and Accent, Accord and Fit. Aside from price, there's not much point buying economy sedans anymore.
Maybe I am wrong but I cannot remember a non-hybrid Camry beating a Corolla in mpg. Who knows what TMC might have in the product pipeline but previous generations of Corolla/Matrix/Vibe offered an upgrade to a 2.4 liter engine. If they did something similar now it looks like the upgrade would be power and fuel economy.
Right Lane Hog Car & Driver reported a impressive 45mpg on their non hybrid Camry LE. The Camry is incredibly efficient. It would be silly for Toyota to not do a “XRS” version with the Camry’s 2.5L mill.
Cecil L, Car & Driver just tested the Corolla SE hatch (automatic and 16" wheels) and could only manage 40 Miles Per US Gallon on the same route. That's a 12.5% difference in highway mpg compared to that Camry. Bring on the Corolla 2.5!!!!!!
C&D's test involved steady 75mph driving IIRC. Did you try that with the hatch?
Bring back the Corolla Wagon ! An efficient sport utility vehicle, I miss my 1979 5 speed dl wagon. I put about 700,000 miles on it in 15 years, and got like 40 mpg !
Once again a great review. You are the best. I don't know why Toyota thinks that Canadians don't like a better sound system. They did it again; In Canada, there is no option for JBL for this car.
Now this is a car I would buy.
The new Corolla Wagon debuts in Paris next month. Bring it to Canada Toyota!!! UPDATE - Photos now available.
I have seen it look it up it's fabulous needs awd bigger engine jack it up instant hit we need it Canada?
John Mattiazzo , That new wagon adds 4 inches of rear leg room, loads of extra cargo space and better VISIBILITY . The 2.5 from the Camry and a 6 speed manual would be perfect for it.
Toyota just want to sell you a Tacoma or a '19 rav4 with big truck look . We miss all the beautiful JDM little van and Verso version from europe
@@martinmartin5904 Check out Toyota Ireland's UA-cam video of the new wagon - Toyota Corolla Touring Sports. In 2 minutes it shows how totally superior the wagon is.
This car looks great in every single colour Toyota offers especially blue flame
In Europe they will sell them in two-tone colour schemes as well.
There is a recall for 2019 Corolla hatchback with CVT. I read 3400 in US and 98 in Canada.
I wouldn`t take that cvt auto no way,, The 6 speed manual is the boss,, hey guess what I`m a 70 yr old guy lol cheers
Nice video, was not expecting this video to be shot around magog haha
Ahhh man it’s so beautiful, I’d love a 6sp model
I test drove it. Very good looking, fun, but the trunk is so small....it is useless. My wife and I have no kids and still this was problem enough to make us NOT buy it. You basically put two gallons of milk and it is full. My 2003 Mazda Protege 5 has 19.8/38.2(rear seats down) cubic feet space. This car has 17.8/23.3(rear seats down) cubic feet space!!! Toyota...people go grocery shopping, to the Beach/Mountain/Lake/River, why did you have to make such a stupidly small trunk?!?! Obviously this car won't have "SUV-type" space, but come on! The Corolla hatchback already has a RECALL on their CVT Transmission!
I want it in that color, but I want the manual transmission instead of the automatic.
I'm getting one! Trading in my 128hp 2008 scion xd (which looks nice, tight steering, but crap accel) for this 168hp beauty. I test drove one it's actually really fun! And the blue looks SO impressive in person. Trust me this vid does not do it justice. (No I don't work for Toyota I am just hyped for a new car after 10 years)
Toyota finally has a properly handling compact hatch. Hopefully, ingress/egress of the rear seat as well as view out the rear windows for taller passengers will be sorted out in the sedan version when it's available. Would be nice to see Toyota come up with an XRS model with more power and stiffer chassis to enable it compete with the civic SI. The gaping nose looks nice this time around. This Corolla does look nice
Great news for lovers of sidewall, Toyota is offering a stripped version of the new hatch to Canadians only with P195/65R15 tires on genuine steel rims! In fairness, they will provide a smoother ride and give an extra mile or two per gallon in fuel economy. Knowing that the brake rotors fit inside 15 inch rims also increases our snow tire options during Winter pothole season .
How very sensible of Toyota to cater to cheap people.
those of us that live in the snowbelt, a higher profile tire is a compelling option in warm months too, since the potholes dont go away when the sun comes back! I noticed a massive improvement in ride quality between the 17" stock wheels on our Ford Escape and the aftermarket 16" wheels/higher profile tires I have on it now.
Y.O.T.D.82, I agree with you. Sidewall is crucial and I think 18" wheels on a 168 hp car are completely counterproductive. I made the comment because all the US reviews of the car leading up to the release only discussed the SE and XSE models with 16" and 18" rims.
FINALLY ! so tire of expensive ghetto toy wheels.
yeah....a typo...so what.
The head unit with that thick bezel looks just like my very old LG microwave. How not to love a brand new old looking piece of tech?
i like this new design language.. kind of growing up on me
It looks sporty, but its not sporty. Its not bad looking though.
Looks a bit like its cousin the CT200h. That red colorway is great.
This is the only Toyota I don't mind owning after the Camry Sports (XSE).
I saw the other day one of these in a Mall was the expensive model XSE or something like that is definitely beautiful
2.0 manual and with that nicer blue guys your are lucky there to have it.
More hp... Yes!
Yeah, still pretty low. I wouldn't trade.
good review keep it up! subed!
Nice looking car, but I sat in one at the dealership and it was tight for me at 6'5" 220lbs
WOW! I'm impressed, good job Toyota.
Thanks Zack. No sunroof and poor rear visibility/headroom. :( damnit! I want a bigger hatch/wagon, like the Corolla Wagon. Dangit
I know Android auto is coming, but will it be available through a download for the Corolla Hatchback that I purchased 6 weeks ago ? I've had 2 updates already but I don't know if Android was part of them as I don't have an Android phone .
I don’t like heated seats. Once the taxi driver turned on his heated seats. That made me feel so warm and nauseous that i had to ask him to turn it off.
Nice car but my engine blew up at 2200 miles. The engine got a metallic ticking coming from the #4 cylinder. Have had 3 people contact me with hatches having the same sort of ticking all with around 2000 miles on the car. Dealer has had my car almost a month now.
nice ride. hate the trend of ipads being stuck to the dash now. folks are distracted enough as it is.
Older model Corolla following you around the roundabout at 8:29 what a coincidence!
Can the rev-matching technology be turned off in the manual. It takes away the joy of driving manual and being able to down-shift to assist with slowing down instead of 100% brakes only. Currently drive 2015 MINI Cooper with the same feature which luckily you can turn off - however doing so also disables the dynamic stability feature and there's no way around it.
My priorities for a vehicle now are quite different since I'll be the passenger now. It will be how easy it is to get in and out of the passenger seat with a cane or when I'm using my walker, I'm Diabetic with a twice torn Achilles Tendon in my right leg, so getting in and out can be a challenge, also the trunk or hatch has to large enough to fit my folding walker, my sister has a Kia SUV and it's just big enough for the walker. So the Corrola Hatchback may be a little small for me, but still a nice package.
Horsepower is adequate. Needs more torque for fun factor.
No one I know of want satellite radio neither an integrated GPS. We send vocal command to our smartphone paired with the car stereo. Cost less, better sound quality, better everything.
that's why every manufacturer should just do aa and apple car play
Interesting. Do you have an idea when you might be testing the new rav4?
It is to be released before the end of the year
The Scion iM was essentially the Toyota Auris hatchback model sold overseas. Indeed, the current Corolla Hatchback is essentially the same Auris model, though now called the Toyota Corolla Sport in Japan.
I hate how Toyota Canada didn't give us the manual with the XSE trim, only in the states. Also no moonroof?
Welcome to Montreal !!
Cargo's smaller than with the iM in spite of the bigger size.
Yes, the new ones look fine but they are stubby in the back.
we are far from the almost 50 cubic feet of cargo from the Matrix
what is the obsession with black headliners in many small vehicles these days. It makes the inside of the vehicle feel even smaller. Notice the CH-R had the same thing. Prefer a light colours headliner.
can we make corollas RWD again?
and no the GT86 doesnt count, tis not a corolla at heart
Hachi Roku I was thinking the same thing
what drivetrain does this car have ?
Amazing review
So other than the type of suspension how is the ride feel comfort over bumps?
THE TIRE MASTER OF CANADA!!!??? MOTORMOUTH
What's very dissapointing is the XSE trim is not available with a 6spd manual in Canada.. Come on Toyota!!!!
Yeah it is, go on toyota.ca
No wagon as option . I own a 2002 Corolla Wagon Levin. It’s got the option for a 4wd Drive train. Disappointed Toyota doesn’t make Corolla wagons for the Australian market anymore because their more economical to own and better handling than RAV4s.
Great car awesome revamp...can’t wait to see new RAV4..
Very impressive!
Pretty nice car, I wish Nissan had a hatchback like this. You should have raced that Nissan Maxima you were following...
May i ask what stretch of road at the beginning of the review is? been looking for a good twisting road around montreal for ages
You spent 75|% of your review on the bling,, It is the long life reliability that brings folks to Toyota,the turbo idea sucks so does ctv auto .
for some reason, we cant get the xse trim (with fog lights) in canada, when its available in the US..
It looks like it picked up where the Mazda3 left off two(?) generations ago
FasterThanSoup it looks like opel!
FasterThanSoup except engine and platform, this new Toyota is a Generation ahead.
First Corolla in History thats not a dumb looking car like every corolla before it
you know what's really silly? other countries that are also left hand steering already have the hybrid version and yet canada has no news... pfffttt
I would consider it if it was as high as Matrix. I like to see 2L engine in it though
This is nice but will never be as refined as a Golf. Plus the 1.8T engine in the Golf is far more livable for merging and passing on the highway.
I like it, but I don't like the low profile tires. They look cool and all but I need more side wall. There is a ton of potholes in my area. I wonder if the next Corolla sedan will have a manual transmission. The current one does not in the U.S. only the hatchback has a manual.
I do not agree with your assessment of why no sun roof (due to low roofline). Most sun roofs now move up and out over the roof, not inside the roof. This reduces sun roof intrusion into the cabin to a minimum. Imo, toyota is exercising negligence or cost cutting by not offering a sun roof. I like the car but like sun roofs so this is a deal breaker for me,
So far the Toyota's that were made in Japan , like this one, have lasted even longer...at least from what I have seen.
Love the interior; hate the exterior. Looks like it has great forward visibility.
It is the rear visibility that will cause concern.
Looks like they benchmarked the Hyundai Elantra GT Sport for this. It has lots of similar features, like that floating centre display - strikes me as oddly similar to the Elantra GT. But that car comes with leather seats at $24k plus a panoramic sunroof and 201hp... I think I would rather buy that than this.
Is the car in the dealership already? How is the ride? I have a 2015 corolla S and my lower back hurts in that car.
someguyZERO how is the ride?
kind of depends how the seat fits you. Other body types aren't necessarily going to have the same issue.
too low just go over a big dip -a low driveway, the radio breaks allot-warranty does not cover, had a recall on cvt because of computer problems, 28 k is too much buy a use corolla i crack my bumper 3 times
dam 6.5L/100km that's really impressive !!! what type of fuel are u using 87/89/91 ????
I regularly manage between 5.3 and 5.5L/100km with my 2017 Forte manual on the highway
Does it have power folding mirrors like the old iM?
I like it!
A remake of the Toyota Matrix.
The matrix was a lot bigger inside and this new one isn't in any sense more capable in term of cargo capacities
Thks.
I like the look, but the truck area is kinda small for me.
I'm considering this on my short list of hatchbacks. I'm iffy on the styling. It's certainly got more style than a regular Corolla, but good styling? Eh. Bordering on ugly to my eye. Gaping mouth and bulbous butt don't speak to me. I priced this out against a Hyundai Elantra GT, which to me looks much more upscale and sophisticated in comparison. MSRP, the Corolla is actually cheaper, comparably equipped. No Android Auto is a big bummer with the Corolla, but not necessarily a deal breaker for me. I expect long-term reliability to be better with this Corolla hatchback, but I'm not so sure after reading about problems with the CVT and alternator in the current generation Corolla sedan. I know different CVT and engine, but still, it's concerning since Toyota only gives a 3/yr/36k mile warranty and Toyota reliability is SUPPOSED to be stellar. I'd almost rather chance it and get the Hyundai which may have more problems in the first 100k miles, but at least will be covered under warranty.
palebeachbum Toyota has had boring styling for years this is a nice change for once look at there old cars there so vanilla
Completely agree.
I had my heart set on getting the '19 Corolla hatch but changed my mind and went with the Elantra GT. Styling doesn't grab your attention as much but it definitely will age better. The last straw for me was when I read about the small trunk space and back seat in the Corolla.
Kind of odd that you found the Corolla to be less expensive, as I’ve shopped around for Elantra GT sports and they have aggressive rebates as high as 5K off MSRP versus Corollas that are selling for 26-27 around me.
Which is bigger, the sedan or hatchback?
Sedan the Hatchback is still Scion iM sized well a few inchws longer
If this had civic hatchback levels of space I would have bought this it's a shame. Same with the mazda3, if it had more space I would have gotten those
No Android Auto at launch? If Toyota really wants to appeal to younger buyers, that seems like quite the oversight...
Magog Eastman mt-Orford ...eh c'est beau les cantons de l'est ... sauf les routes qui sont merdiques comme partout ici
Super cute!
169 HP is not enough power. I am not a fan of Turbo either. Naturally aspirated engine still better but Corolla needs more HP without turbo
Nice car, nice review Thanks! Anyone considering Honda Civic as another option, do an Internet search on the problems with Honda’s turbo-charged engine, as well as problems with peeling paint. I love my old Accord, but, I’m switching to Toyota.
That's what I did since Toyota reliability is nearly unmatched.
TMC leads in reliability across the board but this is an all new chassis, engine and transmission.
