Toyota's engineers could have gone without making the 2022 Corolla hatchback fun, but they have. And we're happy they went to the trouble. When equipped with a six-speed manual transmission, the Corolla is engaging yet remains comfortable and easy to use. Only a smallish cargo space and a mediocre infotainment system hold it back.

Overview

Written by automotive expert Christian Wardlaw

9/20/2021

Affordable, durable and efficient, the Toyota Corolla hatchback is a practical choice in a compact car. But what about style? That's where the rakish 2022 Corolla hatchback comes in, adding some visual sizzle that's absent in the Corolla sedan. Not only that, but with a larger cargo area and folding rear seats, the five-door Corolla hatch supplies more utility than its four-door sedan counterpart.

Toyota makes no substantial changes to the 2022 Corolla hatchback, which faces new competition from within the automaker's own lineup in the form of the all-new Corolla Cross small SUV. But while that model offers elevated ground clearance and ride height, the Corolla hatchback is far more engaging from a driver's perspective. It even offers enthusiasts a six-speed manual transmission.

Hatchbacks provide an excellent combination of flexible interior space in a smaller, manageable exterior package, which can be particularly appealing to urban dwellers. Sadly, hatchbacks are a fading option in today's market. In fact, the 2022 Toyota Corolla hatchback is one of only a few still available. If you think it could be right for you, be sure to check out our Expert Rating below to learn more about the 2022 Corolla hatchback.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Average

7.5

out of 10

We drove the 2022 Toyota Corolla Hatchback on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the Corolla Hatchback? The Corolla hatchback strikes a great balance between comfort and composure. It might be a bit soft over freeway undulations, but the body stays well under control. Go with the SE trim and its smaller 16-inch wheels for maximum comfort. The XSE rides a bit rougher because of its bigger wheels and skinnier sidewall tires.

On the open road, you'll appreciate the fairly quiet interior. The front seats will also appeal to a wide variety of drivers and are relatively comfortable even over long journeys. Airflow from the climate control system is effective at both heating and cooling.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? The Corolla's climate control buttons are a bit crowded and the infotainment buttons are a bit small, but you can figure things out relatively quickly. There's ample access to the front seats thanks to a large door opening, and the seat height makes getting in and out a breeze.

Adjustments can be made quickly, and drivers of varying sizes will be able to get comfortable behind the tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel. The rear should be OK for most passengers, but taller passengers will desire more legroom. As you'd expect from a compact hatchback, there's great visibility in every direction. A low hoodline aids forward visibility, while plenty of side glass makes lane changes stress-free.

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? The Corolla hatch comes standard with automated emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, auto high-beam control and lane keeping assist — an impressive array for a car in this price range. The high-mounted 8-inch touchscreen is visually appealing, but various speed-related lockouts and a lack of a native navigation system make for a frustrating experience. The decent audio system helps, but other cars have much better.

The native voice recognition system is reasonably accurate as long as you follow the tutorial and set up the system to recognize your voice. Thankfully, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration is now included, and the systems are effective voice command work-arounds.

Storage

6/10

How’s the storage? A small, practical hatchback can be a surprisingly versatile car, but a high floor spoils the Corolla's cargo space. Behind the rear seats you get 17.8 cubic feet. But competitors such as the Honda Civic and the Hyundai Elantra GT offer more.

The door pockets and decent cupholders mean there's some room for small items. In front of the shift lever, there's a shelf that looks to be for a phone, but it's not really big enough to hold one. The center console bin is also a bit small and awkward to reach into. For family duty, the Corolla has a decent amount of space for rear-facing child safety seats. The car seat anchors are easily accessible.

Fuel Economy

8/10

How’s the fuel economy? The Corolla hatchback gets an EPA-estimated 31 mpg combined with the six-speed manual transmission or up to a rather impressive 35 mpg with the automatic. Our manual-equipped test car returned 30 mpg on our 115-mile evaluation route. Our total test fuel economy with random driving mixed in was a more lackluster 25.9 mpg, but we believe the EPA estimate should be achievable for most drivers.

Value

7.5/10

Is the Corolla Hatchback a good value? The Corolla hatchback is well built, offers good fuel economy, and comes with a lot of standard safety features. Overall warranty coverage is average, though you do get free scheduled maintenance for services such as oil changes and tire rotations for the first two years/25,000 miles.

Wildcard

8.5/10

"Surprising" might be the best word to describe the Corolla hatchback. Its styling and upscale interior push the Corolla name a little more upmarket. And its compliant ride, fun handling and willing engine make it genuinely fun. All that and an available manual transmission give it real potential as a fun-to-drive hatchback even if it doesn't quite make it into hot-hatch territory.

2022 Toyota Corolla Hatchback trim level differences

The 2022 Toyota Corolla hatchback is available in SE, SE Nightshade and XSE trim levels. A 168-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder is standard, along with a six-speed manual transmission. With the SE and XSE trims, a continuously variable transmission is optional; the CVT comes standard on SE Nightshade models. Compare the 2022 Toyota Corolla Hatchback trim levels in-depth.

Which Corolla Hatchback trim does Edmunds recommend?

Though it's the most expensive version of the Corolla hatchback, we recommend the XSE trim level. It has the sportiest look, and it provides exclusive access to desirable comfort, convenience, infotainment and safety features.
