Hatch
Overview
Now in its 11th incarnation, the Corolla hatch conforms to the current trends of lighter, stronger bodies, a more efficient engine with more power (sort of), a quieter ambiance and, most importantly, all at a lower price. Based on the existing chassis, they've managed to impart more interior space, smarten up the steering (now electric) and handling with a lower centre of gravity and sportier driving position. Breaking new ground is the optional CVT auto with its virtual seven-speed settings - a much improved number over the previous offering, and happily it is also more frugal than the six-speed manual.
