Toyota Corolla Altis J Updates

Thursday, 21 November 2024 02:35 PM The 2024 Toyota Corolla Altis in India is expected to mirror updates seen in other markets, such as the introduction of a new 1.8-liter 2ZR-FE engine for non-hybrid variants, replacing the 1.6-liter engine. This change adds 18 horsepower and 19 Nm of torque, bringing the total output to 140 horsepower and 172 Nm of torque. I think this boost in power will make the Corolla Altis more appealing to those seeking better performance.

Friday, 15 November 2024 09:40 PM Toyota has dropped the manual transmission (MT) variant of the Corolla Altis, opting for an all-CVT range. The base 1.8 E CVT starts at a price point that is more fleet-oriented, with basic specs but includes an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay. I believe this move towards CVT will enhance the driving experience for urban commuters.

Friday, 25 October 2024 08:26 AM The higher-grade 1.8 G (now known as the 1.8 G GR-S) of the Corolla Altis comes with additional features such as a push engine start/stop, automatic climate control, a 7-inch TFT gauge cluster, and the full suite of Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) features. It also includes a GR Sport appearance package, which adds a sporty touch. This package seems to be a great value for the price.

Tuesday, 01 October 2024 12:07 AM The 2024 Toyota Corolla Altis Hybrid, known as the 1.8 GR-S HEV, retains its specs and features from the previous model but now includes an electrified powertrain, automatic LED headlights, a 12.3-inch full digital instrument cluster, and a 9-inch infotainment screen with wireless CarPlay. This variant is priced at around Rs. 1,730,000, making it a premium option.

Tuesday, 20 August 2024 05:31 PM The Corolla Altis GR Sport variant has received aesthetic updates, including squared-off bumper intakes, a slimmer grille, and smoked LED taillights with clear lenses. These changes give the car a sharper, more sporty look. However, the powertrain remains unchanged, which might be a bit disappointing for performance enthusiasts.

Monday, 15 July 2024 05:31 AM Toyota has introduced a new lithium-ion battery pack for the Corolla Altis HEV, replacing the old nickel-metal hydride battery. This update improves fuel efficiency, with the new battery pack having a higher capacity of 4 Ah. This is a significant step towards better fuel economy.

Monday, 10 June 2024 06:21 PM The interior of the 2024 Corolla Altis has been refined with modern design elements, including high-gloss surfaces and soft-touch materials. Higher trims come with an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa compatibility, making it a comfortable and tech-savvy ride. I think these updates will make the Corolla Altis a strong contender in the compact sedan market.

Saturday, 25 May 2024 11:40 AM The Corolla Altis now comes in several new colors, including Juniper Blue Metallic, Gray, and Black, in addition to the existing colors. These new hues should appeal to a broader range of buyers looking for a stylish compact sedan.

Saturday, 20 April 2024 11:52 AM Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 is now standard on the Corolla Altis, featuring a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert, adaptive cruise control, and automatic high beams. This suite of safety features makes the Corolla Altis a safer choice for drivers.

Friday, 15 March 2024 10:35 AM The Corolla Altis has seen minor exterior refreshes, including changes to the front grille mesh pattern, fog lamp frames, and alloy wheel designs. These updates give the car a more refined and contemporary appearance. I believe these subtle changes will keep the Corolla Altis looking fresh in the market.
