What the ratings mean
NHTSA gives the 2021 Toyota Corolla Hatchback 5 out of 5 stars overall, level with the 5-star median for the 9 comparable 2021 vehicles NHTSA rated in this class.
NHTSA published results for every NCAP test in this program, so the overall star rating rests on a complete set of crash and rollover results.
NHTSA's dynamic test put this vehicle's rollover probability at 10.5% in a single-vehicle crash — the figure behind the rollover star rating, published here because the star alone hides how wide each band is.

How this compares
At 35 MPG combined, the 2021 Toyota Corolla Hatchback ranks 5th of 15 compact cars EPA rated for 2021 — 2 MPG better than the 33 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, $100 less than the $1,850 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $8,750, a $500 difference against a class-median vehicle.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 251 grams per mile — about 3.8 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
