Standard or Automatic: Two Available Transmissions
Corolla Hatchback owners can choose between two different transmissions – the six-speed Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT) or the Direct Shift Continually Variable Transmission.
Stick-shift enthusiasts will love the six-speed manual’s short throws, well-balanced feel, and highly efficient design, that works with the engine to deliver better performance and efficiency. The six-speed manual transmission also has Downshift Rev Matching technology, that watches the position of your shifter and pedal, and ensures the engine is set at the perfect RPM for a smooth downshift, no matter how quickly you’re rowing through the gears.
If manual isn’t for you, drivers can opt for our ground-breaking Direct Shift Continually Variable Transmission (DS-CVT) instead, which incorporates a fixed ‘first gear’ for high-speed acceleration from a stop, and full Continually Variable Transmission (CVT) technology thereafter, for a smoother, faster, and more fuel-efficient drive. This highly innovative transmission enables improved shift speeds, simulated 10-speed sequential paddle shifting, and lighter overall vehicle weight.
Regardless of the transmission you choose, Corolla Hatchback is geared up to deliver a quick, responsive and refined experience.
