Toyota is launching Corolla Altis, the tenth generation Corolla, in India on 5th September 2008. Toyota Altis is similar to Camry (2006) and will have the same 1.8L VVT-i engine as that of an existing Corolla model. But Altis is 60mm wider and 10mm longer than the existing model.

 

Toyota Altis has tweaked ECU and fuel injection system, improved emission conformity and better fuel efficiency. The car also has new suspensions. It has L-arm MacPherson strut setup at front to lower the noise and vibrations, enhanced steering awareness and a high-speed stability. The rear suspension is of torsion beam type, which allows bigger boot space.

 

Toyota Corolla Altis has five-star Euro NCAP ratings and have top line safety features such as EBD, ABS, Traction Control, Brake Assist and multiple airbags. Toyota Altis will be priced at approximately Rs. 13-14 lakh.
