Hatchbacks are becoming a bigger part of the automotive industry in countries around the world, especially among city drivers who need more space and versatility than they can get in a sedan. Hatchbacks provide many of the benefits of a sedan without the drawbacks of a large crossover in the city. Other drivers just find them more useful than other options.
Toyota redesigned the Corolla Hatchback for 2019 to make it even more of a driver favorite. If you are looking for a new car, take a look at the Hot Hatch of the Year: the all-new 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback.
A More Aggressive Look
One of the biggest changes to the 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback is its appearance both inside and outside. Toyota made several modifications to the overall design to give it a more aggressive look. The body sculpting makes the Corolla Hatchback look more like a performance vehicle, while the modernized cockpit uses new materials and a performance-inspired design. The grille was reshaped to be a bit wider, and the headlights have a unique v-shape. Toyota also added 18-inch wheels for a taller and more sports-focused appeal.
More Agile Performance
Along with a style change, Toyota also improved the handling and performance of the 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback. The suspension is tuned tighter for a more responsive feel. Turns feel sharper, and the overall handling is more aggressive.
Toyota changed the powertrain to include a CVT transmission with a traditional first gear. The traditional gear makes a big difference in performance since it allows the Corolla Hatchback to accelerate faster than ever without completely sacrificing its efficiency in the higher gears. Otherwise, you can get the Corolla Hatchback with a six-speed manual transmission if you’d prefer.
Safer Driving Systems
Toyota developed some of the most advanced safety systems in the industry, and they are available in the Toyota Corolla Hatchback. The latest model comes with the standard version of the Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 package.
This package includes various features that are useful in different situations. For example, the pre-collision system was updated to include pedestrian detection, and it’s useful in avoiding accidents in the city. It also comes with the road sign assist system that watches for different road signs and alerts you when you approach one. That way, you’ll be made aware of changing conditions like a change in the speed limit.
The 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback is a popular option in the U.S. and around the world for its combination of crossover and sedan features. Toyota continues to look for ways to improve on its design which could include different performance options in the next few years.
