2022 Toyota Corolla Hatchback represents a solid value
The Toyota Corolla Hatchback is an entry-level economy car designed to provide the utility of a small SUV with the economy of a subcompact car, and it does a good job with both of those values. The Corolla Hatchback uses a 2.0-liter engine to drive the front wheels. It is available with a manual or automatic transmission and the EPA estimates it will get 35 mpg combined with the automatic, and a little less with the manual. Fuel economy figures are based on EPA estimates for when vehicle sold as new. Fuel economy may vary for reasons like driving conditions and vehicle history. Unless specified, figures are for vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission. See fueleconomy.gov.
Under the hatch, the Corolla offers 17.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, which is enough for about 22 bags of groceries. If you fold the rear seats down, a Corolla Hatchback has enough space to haul necessities for a student heading to college, or camping and activity gear for a long weekend. Above all, the Corolla Hatchback is about value, with a low purchase price when new and low cost of ownership over the life of the car.

What We Like
Responsive handling: As a small, lightweight car, the Toyota Corolla Hatchback is easy to drive and maneuver in tight urban environments, and it's easy to to park, with excellent visibility out of all windows. When you leave the city behind, the Corolla Hatchback is fun to drive and handles corners and curves very well.
Technology: The 2022 Corolla Hatchback is equipped with Toyota's suite of driver aids. They include lane keeping assistance and adaptive cruise control, which follows the speed of the vehicle in front of you.
Utility: The Corolla Hatchback has enough space behind the rear seats to handle about 22 bags of groceries, haul your sports or activity gear, or load up on supplies for a home repair project. For younger buyers, this model is a great choice whether they're heading to college or moving across country.
What Needs Improvement
Engine power: As an economy car, the Corolla Hatchback has a modest engine. It wasn't made to be a sports car, and drivers may be frustrated by the slow acceleration and limited passing abilities.
