my 2021 hatch saved my life today. was looking over my shoulder to change lanes and the vehicle in front slammed their brakes. collision mitigation took over and stopped perfect. had it not had the safety tech i would have wrecked or worse. For a cheap little hatch. its value is priceless.
Just purchased one exactly like this for my wife. She loves it.....a great choice indeed. Very stylish, and with only 1500 of this special edition being produced, you will not meet yourself on the road. Great review by the way!
I got this same exact car last Sunday. When I saw it online I thought that I’d be cool to own. And when I saw it in person at the dealership I immediately fell in love. It’s my first brand new car that I’ve ever gotten. It’s crazy that it’s a special edition and only 1,500 of those are made. Only 1,500! Glad that I own one. I love how smooth it sounds and runs and that it has the design of both a simple vehicle as well as a sporty look.
I bout might mine used today with 40,000 miles. It came dropped with TRD cold air intake and programmer. Only gets 30 mpg around town but super quick for what it is. It’s got after market cat back DC sports exhaust and all JL audio amplifier and sub woofer. Super cool car. 21k used with 3 year 36k warranty.
I just bought my special edition this past September. I love it and best part is, I live in a big city and have yet to see another vehicle identical to mine.
Aww man looks cool... Even tho just the front lateral black plastic are added hehe because the rest you can buy on internet, soon you can buy front kit for sure it looks easy to create. But here in Europe we have 188hp the 2.0 engine
Just bought a 2022 Corolla Hatchback XSE in blue flame today. Has a bit more upgrades from the SE, like a completely digital screen for speedometer, tachometer and other safety tech.
Wow just saw one of these on the road today, thought it was a Volvo at first very nice had to look it up. Love me some hatchbacks. Still have my Malibu Maxx SS and a Chevy Cruze RS.. thanks for the review
Especially in this color the Corolla hatchback looks pretty sporty! It's a nice car, just wish it had more power or awd option! Thanks for checking it out!
God i feel spoiled for being scandinavian i got the 2020 estate gr-s corolla full leather interior 2.0 184hk version even the steering wheel got leather
I think it's a great looking car. The fuel economy alone and reliability will sell it. The only thing I don't care for is, the screen being so far up on the dash. I would rather see it integrated into the dash and turned more towards the driver. It will sell, because of it's sporty look and bang for the buck.
Yeah this car is exactly why I told my sister to get a Toyota. She was in the market for her first car. I told her don’t mess with anything other than a Toyota, Lexus, Honda, or Acura. I went with her to Toyota and we left with the special edition hatchback. It’s a stunning looking car.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed a 2018 Chevy Silverado but that is a family use vehicle im looking at getting my own vehicle. Currently saving for a down payment, and doing research.
Does it basically have the same features and everything as this? Just might look a little different cosmetically? I don't see the need to upgrade unless you just really really want to.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed According to my calculations, some cars in Europe gets one reverse light for the front passenger, including the Toyota Corolla Hatchback as seen in the video.
I bought the 6speed 2021 SE Blue Flame last week and got a great price, under 20k. It's a great ride for the price. Speakers are a disappointment especially the phone, it's canny and muffled. Still happy though!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I traded a 2018 Mazda 3 2.5L 4cyl 6spd manual for this Corolla 2.0L and there is no comparison in power, however, Baby 'Yota is a smooth shift with ample torque. I am very happy with the Corolla.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I just want the winter performance of a Subaru with the reliability of a Toyota. And this car would've been a perfect competitor to the Impreza if only it had AWD
Yeah really, that's a great point! This might be a curb ball. But have you looked at Audi? The A3 and S3 are affordable on the used market, and are very reliable cars
I think they just wanted to give it a cleaner look and so the exhaust curves just underneath it to where you wouldn't see it unless you looked under! I think it's a nice touch, especially since the exhaust isn't anything special for this car!
Saludos desde 🇵🇷. Aquí usamos mucho los corolla y yaris. Porque nuestras carreteras en el campo y montaña son pequeñas. Pregunto porque es una edición a especial? O por que lo hace una edición a especial o diferentes a los otros hachback SE o XSE
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yeah definitely sporty looking but I think a bit overdone with trying to make it look aggressive. It's all show, no go. The optional large spoiler is ridiculous IMO and the Lexus grill front could be cleaned up so much more. Other than those 2 cosmetic issues I think it looks great. Nice interior as well. I know I'm kinda trashing on it but I'm actually in the market for one as a DD and long trip vehicle. GTI was initially my first choice but with the dual injection, no turbo, the Corolla is less worry, less maintenance, and better mpg.
I feel you but their refined CVT will get you to your top speed faster than most cars with similiar HP, give a test drive, i guarantee youll take it home
I'm not sure if they will be offering it with one, but that would be cool to see. Unfortunately manuals aren't being offered as much because of the lack of sales, so if it doesn't sell, they won't make it.
I loved the rear wheel drive generations . This is nice but the first thing I don’t like is the cvt transmission. I prefer manuals especially with such a weak motor. I would prefer 2 large dials tach and speed . I don’t like the look of the infotainment center as it looks dated .
That seems to be the asking price for them, it's a great economy car if you are looking for something like this. Kind of seems to be the price range for these types of vehicles.

Wow that's awesome to hear! Toyota for the win! Glad it worked for you and everything is good!
It's definitely a good looking little car. A turbocharged engine would definitely be a great addition though.
Definitely! That would be cool for sure!
Hope this hatch eventual becomes an option for a hybrid 🙂
That'd be sick! A turbo would be a great touch! Especially since their are other hot hatch cars out there with turbos
I can see them adding hybrid to it!
Just bought mine today. Went to the dealership to see about the CH-R and drove off in this Corolla. 1 of 1500,I may never see another in my city.
Very cool! Congrats! It's a cool sporty hatchback from Toyota for sure!
Thank you.
I just bought one today. Amazing little hatchback. I’m in love. And the red sparkles in the sunlight so beautifully
Very nice! Congrats!!
Omg me too!!! I can't believe it...its so beautiful and my last 2 were corolla sedans this is definitely my car and it reflects my personality
Does it feels slow? And hows the steering?
@@donaldzuramp4404 the steering is amazing and it really hugs the road. I love mine. More pepin engine
Just bought mine today. Guy at the dealership (thnx Moe!) said that the car came in yesterday and now it's already gone. I love the car.

Awesome to hear! It is cool that you will most likely not see another one, so there's that cool factor!
I love how top speed 112 yet dash got 160 on it lol
Haha yeah, I think most vehicles have a difference like that!
Just got mine today!!!! I’m IN LOVE! Big upgrade from my 2003 CE.
Nice! This was a super cool sporty hatch! Enjoy it!

Two years ago today! Still a fun car bestie.
I just bought my special edition this past September. I love it and best part is, I live in a big city and have yet to see another vehicle identical to mine.
That is awesome! It's definitely a great city car!
I rarely see a toyota hatchback in Southern California. One of the reasons I might get this.
@@thoeunleap519 Yeah it's unique for sure to see one! I'm used to seeing the Focus or WRX as the hatchbacks around here
Same i live in ATL and havent seen one yet!
I've been looking for the special edition and can't find one for sale anywhere.
It does not have blind spot monitoring btw
The blind spot on the Toyota Corolla comes standard! It has the Toyota Safety sense which includes that along with other safety features!
Picking up my special edition tomorrow. Currently has 12 miles on it. Can't wait to start adding to that
Nice, congrats!! You'll definitely enjoy the Corolla, it's a fun little car!
Aww man looks cool... Even tho just the front lateral black plastic are added hehe because the rest you can buy on internet, soon you can buy front kit for sure it looks easy to create. But here in Europe we have 188hp the 2.0 engine
It's definitely a sweet looking Corolla! Never thought I would say that lol!
Just a rebadged Scion XB, TC, XD same engine. My 2010 Scion XB is the same 2.4L 158 hp motor-- the new hatch does look terrific.
Especially in this color with the accents, looks sharp!
It's a 2.0L engine right? Does look great tho!
@Richard Favreau Sweet? Okay- not the 2.0 the 2.4L same engine only they decrease or bump up the hp.
Pretty bold comment for being completely wrong lol it’s a na 2.0
For sure!! Corolla hatch is sharp!
Just bought a 2022 Corolla Hatchback XSE in blue flame today. Has a bit more upgrades from the SE, like a completely digital screen for speedometer, tachometer and other safety tech.
Nice! They really did a great job with the new Corolla
I would love to see a youtuber making a 1000 hp camry or corolla, with the 4 doors removed.😂😂😂😂
Haha that would be quite the build!!

That's cool! Haven't seen that model before. I wish the Corolla for the US market was more sporty, just seems to be an appearance package.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yes its all about styling would be nice if they beefed up the endgine like they done with the yaris gr-s
I like that Corolla so expensive and Also Special Edition car 😊
It really is!
Thanks for the upload mate, excellent work 👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Pretty cool looking Corolla for sure!

@@theholt2ic219 Oh wow, that is awesome, What color did she get? I'll bet she is so excited, and glad she listened to you.
God I would love to have this vehicle... it is a shame I live in a town that gets way to much snow for a vehicle of this height. Le Sigh...
Yeah I'm not sure this would be the best snow vehicle! What do you have now?

@@malurkus19 subaru might be better suited for snow
I'd have to agree about the Suburu. My '16 was literally passing Jeep's stuck in the snow this winter.
@@plainsimplegarak6279 only thing that sucks is I can't drive standard...
I love the Toyota corolla hatchback! It’s very nice! I love the red
It really is!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I know
This is a really cool car. I wish we'd have the same model in South Africa.
What kinds of vehicles do you have there?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed we got the Corolla Hatchback too, but I've never seen the sports version like this one. We only got upto the CVT Xr model.
it looks soo good i swear-
Oh yeah! Toyota added some nice style to this Corolla!
I have a 2017 corolla hatch im. Should I upgrade to this?? #opinionsplease
Does it basically have the same features and everything as this? Just might look a little different cosmetically? I don't see the need to upgrade unless you just really really want to.
You said it had the blind spot sensor. I thought this model did not have it.
I believe that's part of the toyota safety sense, I could be wrong but it had that so maybe.
Make first person camera on the gokart goblin🙏
Edit: im new subscriber btw😀
Thanks for subbing! I did film that car if you haven't seen it! ua-cam.com/video/9MhHC_J8K1s/v-deo.html
Does the new Toyota Corolla Hatchback have a rear fog light? In Europe,
the Toyota Corolla Hatchback only has one reverse light.
It should, that’s a regulation for the US.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed According to my calculations, some cars in Europe gets one reverse light for the front passenger, including the Toyota Corolla Hatchback as seen in the video.
I bought the 6speed 2021 SE Blue Flame last week and got a great price, under 20k. It's a great ride for the price. Speakers are a disappointment especially the phone, it's canny and muffled. Still happy though!
Very nice! It would be cool to drive the manual to see how it is!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I traded a 2018 Mazda 3 2.5L 4cyl 6spd manual for this Corolla 2.0L and there is no comparison in power, however, Baby 'Yota is a smooth shift with ample torque. I am very happy with the Corolla.
Didn't see this car before
It's pretty cool!
Looks like a hot hatch, but 8 sec 0-60 and a 112 mph top speed determined that was a lie, lol.
Yeah it's all looks. I hope Toyota takes some inspiration to the foreign GR Yaris and give us a turbo AWD hatch! The market would love it!
manual adjust driver seats are not what I expected. too bad it ain't electric. I mean it is the special edition...
It's still just an economy vehicle, but it would have been cool to see some extras for sure!
I'm 6'2feet,I don't know if I would fit on it?
You should be good. Maybe a bit tight. Head to your local Toyota dealership and check it out
Mike, Brian are you guys generally a fan of hot hatchbacks?
I think they are pretty cool! I love the amount of space they offer so it's pretty versatile if you need space, but want a smaller car!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Ah that's great to hear. I'm a fan of them myself.
Very cool! What's your favorite?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Being from the UK, I have to say it's the Mark 7 Volkswagen Golf GTI (with the performance pack) 🤦♂️
I’ll wait for the 22 or 2023 reboot
Hopefully they add a turbo version!
Nice Car!
It sure is!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yep
Is this available in other colours?
It might be, I think two other colors are available but I'm not sure which ones.
does it comes with Intelligent Park Assist in US?
I don't think so
Would've been PERFECT if it had an AWD option. Such a shame. That's a dealbreaker for me
Maybe they can do that on the next year model, make it compete a little better with the hot hatches. Although the Honda Civic Type R is fwd too.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I just want the winter performance of a Subaru with the reliability of a Toyota. And this car would've been a perfect competitor to the Impreza if only it had AWD
Yeah really, that's a great point! This might be a curb ball. But have you looked at Audi? The A3 and S3 are affordable on the used market, and are very reliable cars
@@BrosFOURRSpeed This is the first I've heard of Audi being reliable. I'll look more into it.
How do you open the trunk from the inside?
Most hatches don't have an interior latch, that's usually on a trunk where there's only one way out.
Oh, I see. Thank You
Sweet
It was nice to check out and I love it in this color!!
Does it have a CD player?
I don't think so, if I didn't show one then it didn't!
No
8 second 0-60mph is terrible
Well it's not designed to be a fast car by any means, still a Corolla! If they made it AWD and added some horses, that would be pretty impressive!
It looks good except for the back
I think it's pretty sporty in back. But looks are subjective lol
The CVT ruins this
Yeah I'm not a fan at all of CVT transmissions. Takes any fun out of a sporty car
@@BrosFOURRSpeed But that doesn't the 1st launch gear help?
Get used to cvt. It ain't going away
@@qckndrty1 nah fam I only drive manual or a DCT. Sucks for u
No tail pipes
I think they just wanted to give it a cleaner look and so the exhaust curves just underneath it to where you wouldn't see it unless you looked under! I think it's a nice touch, especially since the exhaust isn't anything special for this car!

Thanks for checking out the Corolla video! You'll get a few more option on the XSE over the SE
Too riced out with the black vents
I'd have to disagree lol, I think it looks pretty sharp with just enough accents!
Offer a 340 hp option n 0-60 n 4 ☺️
Haha, I don't think too many corolla owners are looking for that, but it would be cool to make it more of a hot hatch!
Would easily be a 60,000$ car at that point... please dont
I wouldn't call it a hot hatch with a < 200hp engine and a 3000+ weight. It's an economical hatch.
Well it's a sporty looking hatch. And the closest thing Toyota makes to a legit hot hatch lol
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yeah definitely sporty looking but I think a bit overdone with trying to make it look aggressive. It's all show, no go.

I own a '17 Corolla sedan with the 168 HP engine. It's a dog, no juice at all. Looks good though.
I felt like it had a decent amount of power, it's not trying to be fast by any means, but I didn't drive it as much as you do!
Are you sure? The 17 Corolla goes up to 132-140 HP I believe. This hatchback has the 2.0 engine which produces 169 HP.
I loved the rear wheel drive generations . This is nice but the first thing I don’t like is the cvt transmission. I prefer manuals especially with such a weak motor. I would prefer 2 large dials tach and speed . I don’t like the look of the infotainment center as it looks dated .
Yeah maybe Toyota would make a cool AWD turbo version with a manual. That'd be epic!
Cvt 🤮🤮🤮
I wish Toyota would have made this Corolla model more sporty and competitive with cars like the Honda Civic Type R, Ford Focus RS, cars like that!
cvt? arghhhhh....!!!!!! dsg toyota dsg..!!!
Yeah it would be sweet to see this with a DCT or manual and a turbo engine paired to AWD! Would be a fun little car
Toyota has one of the worst/outdated interiors (if not the worst) in the entire automobile industry
I agree. They need to take some time to make updates. But Toyota likes keeping things simple. That's why they have top notch reliability.
The 2.0 is a better car
I didn't know they had a larger engine option.
This is the 2.0 lol
Local dealers are selling it for 30k usd.... for that price its an overpriced pos.
That seems to be the asking price for them, it's a great economy car if you are looking for something like this. Kind of seems to be the price range for these types of vehicles.
