Written by Marco Carvajal

I am test driving the 2022 Toyota Corolla Hatchback XSE in warm Florida.

The Corolla is a convenient car offering a good size, good style, and value that you can trust long-term.

Corolla is a very well known sedan with attractive style and very good purchasing value.

The Corolla Hatchback is more stylish than the regular Corolla. it has a very interesting design with a curvy sporty shape.

High style, value, and practicality are Toyota’s goals when producing the new Corolla Hatchback that can drive you through long highways or busy congested cities.

The Corolla Hatchback is a convenient and fun car to drive, with very low pricing for a new car, starting at $22K.

Toyota Corolla

Corolla is one of the most successful vehicles in the history of Toyota. There have been twelve Corolla generations since 1996, with more than 46 Million Corolla cars sold worldwide.

The new generation Corolla is younger and stylish, it comes with the same backup of the older Corolla models but with a new reinvented look and more technological features, ready to impress the new generation of car drivers.

The word Corolla automatically makes me think about Toyota. Our brain links the words Corolla and Toyota.

Corolla brings to my mind value, good price, good fuel economy, hassle free repairs, free maintenance and great look.  

Toyota’s prestigious Corolla brand model has been saved in our minds for many years, Toyota’s successful work is to produce a good car at a good price, that everyone can love and drive.

The Corolla has been a very popular entry-level car in Toyota’s brand.  Consumers know what to expect, great value for a great car.

Most of the success of Corolla comes from its great value and low pricing.

The Toyota Corolla used to be assembled at the Toyota Motor Manufacturing in Blue Springs, Mississippi. The new Corolla is now being produced at the new Toyota plant in a joint venture with Mazda, the new plant in Huntsville, Alabama.

The new Toyota-Mazda plant in Huntsville, Alabama, is employing about 4,000 workers and produces about 300,000 cars per year.

Even if Toyota is a Japanese brand, Corolla’s production in the United States helps the US local economy.
