The fuel economy is the standout. My only gripe is road noise on the highway, which I knew going in.

2026 Toyota Corolla Hatchback review
Toyota Corolla Hatchback: a class leader on the details. Illustrative review
9.2/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Toyota Corolla Hatchback sits near the top of its class. Standard driver-assist suite; good trunk for the footprint. Some features locked to upper trims and road noise on coarse pavement, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $24,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.

Replaced an older Toyota with this one. Big step up in fuel economy; I'd like a little more rear headroom.
We cross-shopped three others and this won on fuel economy. road noise on the highway is the trade-off.
