The gas-powered sedan and hatchback use Toyota's standard Dynamic Shift continuously variable transmission for a distinct performance feel thanks to a gearset used as a 'first' gear for start-off acceleration, before seamlessly handing off to the CVT's pulley system. The sedan model has a manufacturer estimated rating of 34 MPG combined and the hatch model has a manufacturer estimated 35 MPG combined rating.

Under the hood of the Corolla sedan and hatch gas models that sport the Nightshade look is a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder DOHC 16-valve 169-hp engine. All Corolla Hybrid Nightshade models will be powered by a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder DOHC 16-valve 138-hp engine paired to two electric motor generators that has a 47 MPG combined manufacturer estimated fuel economy rating. The system on AWD equipped models employs a separate rear-mounted electric motor to power the rear wheels when needed. The Corolla Hybrid Nightshade model will be available on both the Front Wheel Drive and electronic on-demand All Wheel Drive equipped models. Its super-rigid structure, low center of gravity and standard Independent MacPherson-type strut front suspension with stabilizer bar and multi-link rear suspension endow all Corolla models with exemplary handling agility and ride comfort. The Hatchback model adds a large black Vented Sport Wing and two-toned roof to the mix for an extra dose of personality.Īll Corolla Nightshade models are built on the Toyota New Global Architecture-C platform (TNGA-C). Additional eye-catching details continue around back, with blacked-out rear badges, a black shark fin antenna, rear lip spoiler, and lower diffuser. Up front, this unique trim will include a sport mesh gloss-black front grille with blacked out Toyota badges, while the side is treated with black painted sport side rocker panels and black capped heated power outside mirrors.

Bronze-finished 18-inch wheels will also come standard – adding a spark of contrast on each model. The Nightshade's bold style will feature blacked-out badging and black accents.
