Story Intro
On the outside, the Corolla Hatchback might still seem like an updated iM, except that the Hatchback is built on Toyota’s latest chassis architecture, which is claimed to be lighter and 60 percent stiffer. It also reduces the ride height by nearly half an inch for a lower center of gravity. The front and rear suspension components are also new and designed to provide better cornering precision and ride comfort.
