The 2025 Toyota Corolla Hatchback combines style, technology, and a fun-to-drive quality into an affordable, efficient package that’s ready for the road ahead. The sporty hatchback is low to the ground, lightweight, and sure to make a lasting impression that inspires drivers to go out and make more happen.
Available in SE, Nightshade, and XSE trims, the 2025 Corolla Hatchback offers plenty of sporty grades for customers to choose from. The SE model sits on 16-inch alloy wheels, while the Nightshade features stunning 18-inch bronze-finished alloy wheels. The XSE boasts a different style with 18-inch graphite-colored alloy wheels.
All Corolla grades come standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 and an 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia system, including standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility.
Bold Silhouette
The Corolla Hatchback’s bold look begins with a rounded, muscular physique accented by chiseled character lines and simple, condensed three-dimensional highlights. Combined with the 16- or 18-inch wheels, the shape gives the Hatchback an active, well-planted attitude. Slim, aggressive LED headlamps wrap deeply into the front fenders, giving the Corolla Hatchback a distinct expression. The LED taillamps feature a diffusing inner lens designed to highlight the Hatchback’s stout stance. The XSE features LED fog lights to the front fascia accented by chrome-finished fog bezels.
Naturally, the Hatchback is practical, starting with the hatch itself. Lightweight and simple, the hatch is easy to open and close. The available Enhanced Cargo Space option adds six cubic feet of space by lowering the cargo floor, made possible by switching out the spare tire for a tire repair kit.
Exterior color options include Blue Crush Metallic, Inferno, Midnight Black Metallic, Classic Silver Metallic, Finish Line Red, Magnetic Gray Metallic, Wind Chill Pearl, and Ice Cap. Two-tone color combinations are also available with a Midnight Black Metallic roof to further heat up the Corolla Hatchback’s striking good looks.
Complete Driver’s Package
Toyota designed the Corolla Hatchback as a complete driver’s package, with a seamless combination of comfort and sporty controllability that begins with its TNGA-C platform. The structure employs extensive use of aluminum and high- and ultra-high tensile steel. A mixture of adhesives, spot welding, and additional bracing create a super-strong, super-tight platform for ride comfort and handling agility.
The MacPherson strut front suspension employs sophisticated techniques, including a strut bearing mounted coaxially with the kingpin axis. This feature allows smoother upward suspension travel, especially while traversing bumps, resulting in comfortable steering feel. The multi-link rear suspension is highly adept at comfortably absorbing bumps while prioritizing agility. The result is a Corolla Hatchback that delivers an uncanny blend of balance, composure, and feel that invites the driver to seek out twisty roads.
Powertrain and road noise are hushed thanks to drivetrain efficiencies and the widespread deployment of sound-absorbing materials, including Thinsulate®, sealants, foams, and silencer pads. The TNGA-C platform employs additional seals in body gaps to insulate noise penetration and enhance air-sealing performance. Even the Aero Stabilizing Fins on the taillights help by combating wind drone.
Dynamic-Force Engine
The 2.0-liter Dynamic-Force direct-injection inline four-cylinder engine delivers exuberant performance with 169 horsepower at 6,600 rpm and 151 lb-ft. peak torque at 4,800 rpm. Its features read like those of a sports car: a very high compression ratio (13:1), ultra-low internal friction, Toyota D4-S fuel injection combining direct injection and secondary port injectors, high-speed combustion, and VVT-iE intelligent variable valve-timing on the intake side and VVT-i on the exhaust.
With all the fun comes the bonus of low fuel consumption, with manufacturer-estimated 32 city / 41 highway / 35 combined MPG for SE grade and 30 city / 38 highway / 33 combined for XSE grade. Automatic Stop/Start reduces fuel usage in urban driving. A continuously variable-capacity oil pump and a variable cooling system with an electric water pump help maximize engine performance and efficiency.
Maximize Comfort
The standard analog gauge cluster houses a 4.2-inch Multi-Information Display between the tachometer and speedometer. The available 7-in digital gauge cluster allows the driver to choose between multiple speedometer styles, customizing their driving experience.
Featuring rich graphics, the easy-to-read digital gauge cluster can be custom-configured by the driver and offers intuitive operation to access information for the audio and multimedia systems. This includes hands-free phone operation, navigation, and vehicle information, including fuel efficiency, tire pressure, and TSS 3.0 functions. Other important parameters and system settings are also available, and the driver can operate the system via steering wheel-mounted controls and voice command.
The Corolla Hatchback cabin is equal parts sporty, elegant, and, as always, Corolla-comfortable and durable. Minimized gaps between buttons and switches and consistency in all materials and elements’ shape, color, grain, and gloss help maximize continuity and aesthetic quality. High-gloss materials are paired with matte elements — silver-colored accents with Piano Black and available contrast stitching — to accentuate a premium look and feel.
The center console incorporates a tray ahead of the gearshift that can hold small items such as a smartphone or wallet. When the car is so equipped, the tray serves as the Qi wireless device charging area. A 5.5-inch smartphone can easily fit inside the center console box.
Seating comfort, always a Toyota strength, is optimized in the Corolla Hatchback to provide a natural body posture and position. Ample front door storage includes cup holders that can fit 24-ounce bottles. Rear seat passengers have upper door cup holders that hold 16-ounce bottles.
The Corolla Hatchback SE grade comes standard with single-zone automatic climate control, an electronic parking brake, automatic up/down power windows, and two front and two rear USB ports.
The XSE grade comes with dual-zone climate control, fabric/SofTex® trimmed seating, unique stitching on the instrument panel and doors, heated front seats, and an eight-way power driver’s seat standard. All grades come with paddle shifters standard.
Next-Level Technology
All Corolla models come with the 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia system. With an active available Drive Connect* trial or subscription, drivers can interact with the system through touch and voice activation. With Intelligent Assistant available through Drive Connect*, simple phrases like “Hey Toyota” awaken the system for voice-activated commands to search for directions, find Points of Interest (POI), adjust audio controls, change the cabin temperatures, and more. Over-the-Air (OTA) updates will also be available.
The Toyota Audio Multimedia system allows dual Bluetooth phone connectivity, with support for standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. An available Wi-Fi Connect* subscription offers 4G connectivity for up to five devices, turning the car into an AT&T Hotspot, along with the ability to link customers’ separate Apple Music® and Amazon Music subscriptions to the vehicle with the new Integrated Streaming feature. This augments the already robust audio playback ability that includes HD Radio, USB data, and a SiriusXM® 3-month trial subscription.
The SE and Nightshade audio system includes six speakers. The audio experience goes to a higher level with the JBL® Premium Audio system with eight speakers and an 800-watt amplifier that comes standard on the XSE.

The up to 10-year Safety Connect* trial includes an Emergency Assistance Button (SOS), 24/7 Enhanced Roadside Assistance, Automatic Collision Notification, and Stolen Vehicle Locator.
