Toyota is making a few targeted changes to the Corolla Hatchback for the 2027 model-year. The Japanese compact car retains its existing powertrain and the bulk of its equipment, but receives a digital gauge cluster across the entire lineup. It also gains a brand-new infotainment screen for the top-tier XSE trim.

The 2027 Toyota Corolla Hatchback is now available at Canadian dealerships with a starting Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $25,770, before applicable fees.

Technology in the 2027 Toyota Corolla Hatchback

The main update for 2027 centres on the driver's display. The Corolla Hatchback SE now comes standard with a 7-inch digital gauge cluster. This screen is also featured on the SE Plus and SE Upgrade trims.

Meanwhile, the XSE version benefits from a more substantial upgrade. Its digital gauge cluster expands to 12.3 inches, allowing it to display more information and in a more modern layout.

Toyota is also upgrading the infotainment system for this range-topping trim. While the SE variants continue to feature an 8-inch touchscreen, the XSE adopts a larger 10.5-inch interface.

The system remains wirelessly compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
