The 2024 Toyota Corolla Hatchback Nightshade Edition
Drivers who love Toyota hatchbacks will thoroughly enjoy sitting behind the wheel of the 2024 Toyota Corolla Hatchback Nightshade Edition. Find out what to expect in this brief review.
It’s been a few years since the Corolla’s last full redesign, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to be excited about in the 2024 Toyota Corolla Hatchback Nightshade Edition.
Eye-Catching Exterior Styling
Every Nightshade Edition features bold exterior styling, including 18-inch bronze-finish alloy wheels and blacked-out elements, including side rocker panels and heated power side mirrors.
Some Nightshade Edition models also come with even more visually impressive two-toned combos to draw extra attention from the outside. Either way, you’ll get LED headlights, running lights, and tail lights, plus an attractive black rear lip spoiler and diffuser.
What’s Beneath the Hood?
The Toyota Corolla Hatchback Nightshade Edition is a Corolla at heart, which means it’s powered by the same 2.0L 4-cyl engine paired with a CVT transmission featuring steering wheel paddle shifters.
It may be no sports car, but the Nightshade Edition delivers solid power at 169 hp and 151 lb-ft of torque. Drivers will also find that this Corolla Hatchback provides a solid ride and handles well, thanks to its low center of gravity.
A Comfortable Interior
The Nightshade Edition’s cabin features a black interior with comfortable cushioned Sport seats. Drivers can choose higher trim levels for power-adjustable and SofTex-trimmed seats. No matter what, they’ll get a soft-touch dash with stylish contrast white stitching to match the seats.
The Corolla Hatchback’s center console is slim and slick, featuring glossy black and silver trim. Drivers will find controls for different drive modes and other necessities here. Some models also feature a wireless charger directly behind the front center console.
Responsive Modern Technology
The Nightshade Edition features an eight-inch infotainment touchscreen with a rearview camera display. It’s responsive and easy to use and comes paired with a six-speaker audio system. The Corolla Hatchback is also equipped with wireless smartphone integration.
Most Nightshade Edition models feature a mix of digital and analog displays. All trim levels except the XSE have 4.2-inch digital displays complemented by analog dials. The XSE has an all-digital display instead.
As Always, Toyota Puts Safety First
Toyota always puts safety first, and the Nightshade Edition is no exception. It features the automaker’s latest TSS 3.0 safety suite, with all the basics plus more advanced features like full-speed range dynamic radar cruise control, road sign assist, and proactive driving assist.
Buyers can also add a standard backup camera, optional blind spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alerts to the list of features available in these Toyota hatchbacks. Even with options packages like the SE Package for added safety, it’s still a very affordable commuter vehicle.
Top-Performing Toyota Hatchbacks
Drivers looking for Toyota hatchbacks that handle well and don’t cost a fortune to fuel up or maintain will love the 2024 Toyota Corolla Hatchback Nightshade Edition.
