McKinnon Reviews the Corolla iM vs. the Corolla

Mar 14, 2017

Well, if you wondered when you’d see a Corolla hatchback, the time is now. After more than ten years without one, there’s the 2017 Corolla iM. This review explores the differences. You’ll want to consider a test drive to see for yourself at McKinnon Toyota dealer serving Montgomery AL.

Sedan or Hatchback
Obviously, different people have different interests when it comes to sedans and hatchbacks. The regular Corolla has a longer wheelbase. Its trunk measures 13 cu.ft. Marking it as different, the iM wears sharp-eyed headlights and a hexagonal lower grille. Since it’s a hatchback, it offers more space in the hold, a generous 20.8 cu.ft.

High Content Cabins
Standard dash technology on each car includes a touchscreen, but these are slightly different set-ups. Still you get streaming audio to give you a world of music chocies. The iM has one well-appointed trim, letting you get more at once. Hatchbacks have dual-zone programmable thermostats and power-heated side mirrors. The floor contains silence sheets, an acoustic layer windshield, and foam-type insulation. The Corolla actually comes in eight trims and offers even more equipment at the highest levels.

Performance
Corollas have 132 or 140 horsepower, depending on the edition. There are 137 horses under the hood of the hatchback iM. Either way, you are getting good gas mileage and a choice of automatic or manual transmission. Find your best price on the Corolla or Corolla iM hatchback.

Safety
The iM has eight airbags and a standard city autobrake. The Corolla goes further than any vehicle in its class with pre-collision warning, autobrake, pedestrian detection, lane departure and more.
