Overview

Summary

The Toyota Corolla Altis is in its 12th Generation and still sticks to its fundamentals in providing a safe and comfortable drive.

The Altis comes in 2 Variants namely 1.8G high spec at RM 134,505 and 1.8E base variant at RM 123,971. The differences between the variants are mainly cosmetic.

Exterior

Body Dimensions

Its body dimensions are Length 4,630mm, Width 1,780mm, Height 1,435mm and Wheelbase 2,700mm, Weight 1,365kg and Fuel tank is capped at 51 Litres

Front View

By introducing the side air vents and large slates for the grille, gives the car a much more agile look. Together with the slightly raised bonnet gives it a more futuristic look.

Rear View

From the back is a clean and simple, no-nonsense design maintaining a firm yet elegant look.

Headlamps

The Toyota Altis 1.8G comes equipped with LED headlamps and Daytime Running Lights, as well as, LED fog lamps. That accentuates the Altis’ more angular design.

Tail Lamps

The tail lamps are of a simple design that makes the car look squarish and oblong. The car did not really evolve the look of their back very much.

Side Mirror

Side mirror comes packed with turn indicators and blind spot indicator, making driving much more pleasant.

Wheels

225/45 R17 17-inch wheels for the G spec and 225/45 R16 16-inch wheels for the E spec with alloy rims.
