This compact hatchback was originally introduced as a Scion model in 2016. When Toyota officially brought the Scion brand under its wing in 2017, this model became the Toyota Corolla iM. The Corolla iM differs from the original Corolla with its hatchback body style. The Corolla iM is only available as a single trim model, but it’s less expensive than a comparatively equipped sedan-style Corolla.

With its affordable price, smooth everyday drive, and thrifty performance, the 2018 Toyota Corolla iM is an excellent commuter. The cabin is home to roomy, supportive seating and upscale touches, like a leather-wrapped steering wheel, giving you hours of on-road comfort. This hatchback is also stacked with modern tech features, so you can make hands-free calls and stream your music collection from devices throughout road trips. The infotainment interface is intuitive, so it shouldn’t take long to figure out, even if it’s your first time dealing with a vehicle touchscreen system.

The 2018 Toyota Corolla iM is available as one fully loaded trim model. While that doesn’t leave a lot of room for configuration, this sporty compact sedan has you covered with a wide range of modern comforts and conveniences. This hatchback keeps you connected with Bluetooth hands-free calling and audio streaming capabilities. The 7-inch central touchscreen makes it easy to find the controls you seek. Safety features, like forward collision warning with automatic braking, help you steer clear of danger. Dual-zone automatic climate control sets two temperatures – one for the driver and one for the front passenger – so both of you enjoy your own perfect temperature. This hatchback also includes a leather-wrapped steering wheel, adding a touch of style to your weekday commute.

No. Unfortunately, the Corolla iM does not offer an all-wheel-drive option. It does, however, deliver a sporty ride with its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. With sharp steering and nimble handling, this hatchback gets you through tight corners and winding highways with equal ease. In addition to a punchy performance, this compact sedan also earns up to 28 city/36 highway mpg. The continuously variable transmission helps you maintain maximum fuel economy.
