The Taiwanese Auris is propelled by the 2.0 petrol engine and CVT transmission. It is equipped with VSC, TRC, HAC, Head-Up-Display, Push Start, and Smart Entry.[7]

The North American version of the Corolla Hatchback was unveiled at the March 2018 New York International Auto Show for the 2019 model year.[8] Model grades are SE and XSE. The American Corolla Hatchback is powered by the new 2.0 liter Dynamic Force engine mated to 6-speed intelligent manual transmission, or CVT with physical 1st launch gear and 10-speed simulated gear. The US Market SE and XSE models [9] are equipped with Entune 3.0[note 1] infotainment system, standard Toyota Safety Sense.[10] MSRP for the SE 6 MT is $19,990 and for the CVT is $21,090, while the more equipped XSE 6MT is $22,990, and the XSE CVT is $24,090.[11] Inventory started appearing in dealer showroom in mid-July 2018.

The twelfth generation Corolla Hatchback is built in the UK and features a new 2-litre, 134 kW (180 bhp) hybrid drivetrain along with a less powerful 1.8 litre, 91 kW (122 hp) drivetrain. Standard petrol engines are also available, one of them will be a 1.2 litre turbocharged engine. However, diesel engines will not be used. It has a rigid Toyota TNGA platform.

The Corolla Hatchback is sold in Japan as the Corolla Sport, which was launched on June 27, 2018.[12][13] It is sold exclusively at Corolla Store dealers equipped with T-Connect available with the 2018 Crown. Motive power for the Japanese Corolla Sport comes from the 1.2 litre turbo gasoline engine, or 1.8 liter Hybrid motor. Trim levels are the base G"X", G, and G"Z".
