One might think a household name like Toyota does not need to do lot to keep the brand’s customers happy. Well, you could not be more wrong. Often giant automotive brands such as Toyota and Volkswagen have more pressure than any of their counterparts. Understanding the phrase “you snooze you lose” Toyota has gone back to the drawing board and the result is the Corolla Hatch.
The Corolla Hatch is aimed at giving competitors a run for their money. The new Corolla Hatch comes
with the 85 kW/185 Nm 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine from the C-HR. The manual
version comes with 6-speed gearbox while the automatic version comes with new
Direct Shift continuously variable transmission, and offers a 10-speed sequential shift that allows Eco, Normal and Sport mode.
Toyota has given Hatch a bold look in the front with LED headlights which gives the new car a fresh look.
The Hatch is fitted with the 16-inch alloy wheels to complete the exterior appeal. Enter the car, the new Hatch spots details of a completely new car.
Comfort has not been forgotten in the execution of the interior make-up, both driver and passenger seats are comfortable while legroom meets acceptable standards.
It is worth noting that the 8-inch screen information
display, although it is a touch screen, it has side buttons which do not leave
fingerprints. Unlike the Corolla you may know, Toyota has ensured the Hatch is equipped with modern, albeit common in other brands, such as electronic parking brake. Also found in the Corolla Hatch are USB and auxiliary audio inputs.
Other important safety features include Siren/Immobiliser
Driver, front passenger, curtain, side and driver-knee airbags
wireless door lock – smart entry
Hill-Assist Control (HAC) Vehicle-Stability Control (VSC) Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) (XR model only)
