How this compares
At 35 MPG combined, the 2020 Toyota Corolla Hatchback ranks 5th of 18 compact cars EPA rated for 2020 — 5 MPG better than the 30 MPG median for that group.
That places it a little above the middle of its class. Fuel cost is close enough to its rivals that other running costs will probably matter more.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $1,750, $325 less than the $2,075 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $8,750, a $1,625 difference against a class-median vehicle.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 250 grams per mile — about 3.8 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
Consumer complaints
No owner complaints filed with NHTSA for this model year.
