Toyota has released pricing for its full model line
for the 2019 model year, covering everything from the 86 to the Land Cruiser.
But the real news is the arrival of the new Corolla Hatchback. Replacing the
previous Corolla iM, the new Corolla Hatchback sits alongside the Corolla sedan in
Toyota’s compact lineup.
Hitting showrooms in time for the 2019 model year,
it carries a price of admission starting at US$ 19,990 – just ten bucks shy of the US$ 20k mark. That’s for the base SE model with the six-speed manual. Go for the
continuously variable automatic transmission option and you’ll pay an extra US$ 1,100, or US$ 21,090. The top-level XSE start at US$ 22,990 with the 6MT, or US$ 24,090
with the CVT.
That makes the hatchback a little more expensive
than the sedan, which starts at US$ 18,700. But the sedan has more trim levels to
choose from, including L, LE, XLE, SE, and XSE. You can get the six-speed on
the four-door as well, but only in SE trim for US$ 21,865. The XSE is the top of
the line at US$ 22,880.
Of course, you’ll have to add a US$ 920 destination
charge on all those figures. So while you can still get a base Corolla L sedan
with the CVT for under US$ 20k (US$ 19,600 delivered), the lowest MSRP with delivery
for the hatchback comes out to US$ 20,910. And the most you can pay for a Corolla
(before options) is US$ 25,010 for an XSE hatch with the CVT (delivered).
The lowest MSRP on any new 2019 Toyota, in case you
were wondering, is US$ 15,635 (US$ 16,555 delivered) for a base Yaris L three-door
hatchback with a five-speed. And the highest is the Land Cruiser for US$ 84,565
(US$ 85,860 with the higher US$ 1,295 destination charge).
