Toyota has just release a picture of the new midlife facelift Toyota Corolla Altis. The facelift include a minor change on the exterior, featuring a new headlamps unit as well as the rear unit. The front and rear bumper is redesigned to further give the elegant and stylish look of this C-segment sedan. The grill is now almost split into half, a bit of BMW-ish then. The interior is also redesigned to be more dynamic and user friendly.
The technology is also updated. The Corolla now features 'Toyota Optimal Drive' technology that will reduce fuel consumption. No news yet about the powerterrain as they are 5 different engines available in Europe, 1.33 Dual vvt-i, 1.4 D4-D, 2.0 D4-D, 1.6 Valvematic, and 1.8 petrol to be name respectively. Sadly, in our market there are only 2 engines available the 1.6 and 1.8 petrol. No diesel engines available due to lack of demand. This is pity though, as diesel engines boasts better fuel consumption and higher power than petrol engines in terms of torque.
Toyota also claims that fitted with Optimal Drive technology, the Corolla will have best-in class fuel consumption. The Corolla is also the best-selling C-segment sedan in the world. As for our market, UMW Toyota Motors has not informed yet when is this facelifted version of the Corolla will arrived.
