- 2023 Toyota Corolla Hatchback Heats up with Major Upgrades
Safety Tech Updated to Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 System
New 8-inch Touchscreen with Toyota Audio Multimedia Standard for All Models
Sharpened Front and Rear Styling
Premium Audio with 800-watt JBL 8-speaker System Now Standard on XSE grade
Eye Popping New Colors Added
The Toyota Corolla Hatchback takes all the reliable hardware from the Corolla Sedan and mixes it with a bit of mischievous fun to make a stylish yet practical sporty machine. For 2023, the Corolla Hatchback shares all the safety and multimedia upgrades from the Sedan and adds a few of its own.
Starting with the look, Corolla Hatch’s striking design is revved up for 2023 with an updated front grill and rear bumper with available silver accents. The new premium large daytime running light (DRL) headlights and taillights are borrowed from the new GR Corolla super hatch. The SE model features new-design 10-spoke 16-inch aluminum wheels, while the XSE gets new 18-inch graphite-colored aluminum wheels.
All 2023 Corolla models upgrade to new Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 with new Proactive Driving Assist, including Obstacle Anticipation Assist and Deceleration Assist. The SE grade joins the XSE in featuring standard Smart Key, while both grades add enhanced Sport driving mode tuning and red interior accents replacing blue.
The new 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia system offers more versatility than ever, including standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. Both model grades also gain two rear-seat USB-C ports, bringing the total in the car to four. The XSE piles on the value by making Qi-compatible wireless device charging standard, along with the sonically stunning JBL Premium Audio with an 800-watt 8-speaker System. What’s more, all 2023 Corolla models deliver added value with Safety Connect and Service Connect with up to a 10-year trial subscription.
Dynamic-Force Engine Aptly Named
The 2.0-liter Dynamic-Force direct-injection inline four-cylinder engine delivers exuberant performance from 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: 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. (VVT-iE uses an electric motor instead of oil pressure to control the variable valve timing.)
Features like a rigid crank case with integrated stiffener, a lightweight resin camshaft cover and a ribbed oil pan help to make the engine a smooth operator. With all the fun comes the bonus of low fuel consumption, with EPA-estimated 32 city / 41 highway / 35 combined MPG for SE grade with CVT and 30 city / 38 highway / 33 combined for XSE grade with CVT. Automatic Stop/Start reduces fuel usage in urban driving.
A continuously variable-capacity oil pump and a variable cooling system with electric water pump help maximize engine performance and efficiency. The 2.0-liter Dynamic Force engine can achieve 40% thermal efficiency, among the highest in the world for a gas-fueled passenger vehicle engine and a true measure of how well the engine converts fuel to energy.
Next-Gen Multimedia
All 2023 Corolla models debut a new standard next generation 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia system designed and engineered by Toyota’s Texas-based Connected Technologies team. The new system provides a wide range of enhanced connectivity and convenience features and is Over-the-Air (OTA) updatable.
With Intelligent Assistant, speaking simple phrases like “Hey Toyota” awaken the system for voice activated commands to search for driving directions, find Points of Interest (POI), adjust audio controls, change the cabin temperature and more. Cloud Navigation is the available onboard navigation solution that utilizes the cloud to download the latest available map, traffic and routing information.
The new 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.
The SE audio system includes six speakers. The audio experience goes to a higher level with the JBL® Premium Audio system with 8 speakers including an 800-watt amplifier. For 2023, it’s made standard for the XSE.

The Nightshade version of the Corolla hatch will look amazing, now if that XSE had the Nightshade bronze wheels it would be so much better.
Great video as always.
I just bought a magnetic grey Corolla Hatch XSE. It actually came with the spoiler!! I couldn't believe it.
I'm here trying to figure out all the controls. I traded my 2018 Honda Civic Hatch EX so I've been out of the loop for a bit. Nice informative vid! Thanks!
You are really great at these reviews
I like that you described the driving feel well, thank you Mike!
Your channel is just wow , I fallen love with your channel..
Love you man from Bihar
Very nice job with my dream vehicle Mike.
Really good review. Almost bought a used Corolla hatch for my new driver son.
But then found a very lightly used Mazda 3 sedan for cheaper 😮
So got him that.
I'm waiting for mine to come in. My brother Ed Shafer bought me it. Thanks for giving me a preview!
No spare tire? Is that a thing nowadays? I haven't bought a new car in over 16 years.
Yes, many new cars don't carry a spare to "save weight". Also, many new cars have too much tech.
yes like new iphone without bloc charger 😂
It’s an option to get extra space in the trunk, you can get it with the tire too
This is an optional enhanced cargo without a spare tire. I have the regular hatch with the spare tire which also gives me two cargo storage spaces
Europe gets the hybrid. I don’t know why they don’t offer it here.
It would also be cool if they did a warm hatch like the GTI
Really excellent review. The details you cover are so helpful. I’d love it if you’d review the Corolla Cross (hybrid version especially).
Cannot thank you enough for this!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Awesome style design, Daily driver, maybe one passenger, cost savings, gas saver, cargo, fun, zippy, sport inspired #2025 XSE
The cargo mat design for the upper storage area
I had a 2016 Tacoma in Inferno and loved that color. I'm glad to see it on something else.
Mike, gun to your head, taking the AWD feature out of the equation, in your opinion, which is the better overall car and driving experience, between the Impreza RS and the Corolla XSE Hatchback that you tested?
I would have to go with the Impreza. It is smoother, quieter, and more comfortable to me. The Impreza's ride quality was immediately noticeable and I was very impressed for a vehicle in that price range.
@@MikesCarInfo thanks for the response Mike! That is what I’m gathering from most reviewers. Which vehicle has better off the line and passing performance? And would you say both have above average visibility at nighttime with their headlight/fog lights combo?
They are both about equal in those areas in my mind.
@@MikesCarInfo I appreciate the responses Mike!
The 2024 does have a physical 1st gear then it shifts to the CVT. Not sure if the '23 had the same but I think so.
I LOVE this color
I'm about to trade in my car for this soon... I need something more reliable right now.. and I have 370z.. I'm actually excited!
What does 18'' wheel add to handling, Isn't 16'' more comfortable?
Japan 👍
That thing is beautiful wow
Wow 🤩 I’m in love with this car
Rick if you ordered the option extra space cargo then you don’t get a spare tire
The driver’s seat is tilted way farther back than the passenger seat. That just doesn’t look right.
Also some people just always put the seats ALL the way back even thought is not needed. My friend does that and I tell him dude there's people sitting behind you. Everything I drive no matter what car he puts his seat all the way back.
Love this car.
nice colour of body
how much did you pay out the door?
I wouldn't like the 40's tires. No question about it. I'd be looking for a 55 or 60 model. The one with the manual crank AC and radio with the "On" and "Off" feature.
No back vents for the ac smh come on Toyota.
This car needs to be hybrid to get at least 200hp. Man that would have been sweet.
Everything great except for the price. My only concern small car in America is safety. Head on collision with a full size pick up truck...hmmm
gloss is for noob matt is for pro
Needed to make a corolla hatch coupe. At 6’4” that back seat is COMPLETELY useless on the drivers side.
the amount of times i’ve watched this video wishing i had this car as my own!! too expensive though, of course…
How tall are you?
15:29
A wide door sI'll is for Safety and for strength
Half the threshold on this vehicle is a plastic attachment to the outside of the vehicle. Mostly for looks. I could hear the plastic creaking when my leg touched it when entering/exiting the vehicle.
I didn't know you wear glasses
How much does it cost in euros € ?
Do the math.
Lack of a manual transmission option completely ruins anything good about the car. Perhaps if it had a 6 speed auto with paddle shifters, that would be okay, but CVT is soul-less and wrong.
Nonsense. Manuals are gone in the USA. Only seven people across the nation even want a MT.
This car is perfect other than that stupid looking tablet they glued on the dash. Unnecessary.
Good point. The tablet design in many cars these days is never executed well.
Is this INFERNO color an extra cost color $425.00? 🤔
Isn't there a new red color called EMOTIONAL RED?🤔
In 20 years will these red exterior colors fade out like most red colors do?🤔
Will WIND CHILL PEARL or I CE CAP WHITE EXTERIOR colors last longer?🤔
White exteriors last 20 years or longer than the different red colors and less prone to fading like the color RED?🤔
I have the 2004 corolla in red and pain work is just fine gets parked outside no issue as of yet
The color red tends to fade over time.@@applemineshaft5755
If only it were the same price as the Mitsubishi Mirage 🥲
