Both model years will use a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine, making 168 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque. Colonial Toyota customers will be able to choose between a continuously variable transmission or a six-speed manual transmission. Not only will drivers get an exciting handling profile in either model year of the Corolla Hatchback, but the vehicle platform also delivers very strong fuel economy scores typified of its Corolla heritage. Depending on which of the several trims a customer chooses to take home, they can expect to see scores in the neighborhood of 30 miles per gallon in the city and around 40 miles per gallon on the highway.
