ടൊയോറ്റ കൊറോല ഓൾട്ടിസ് 2013-2017

Very good and reliable car , but lacks features if we compare this car to its competition that is the honda city. Looks very premium from both inside and outside and the car looks very modern in today?s date also. Overall, the brand name toyota is enough to define the car. This shouldn?t have discountinued in india because it could give tough competition to its rivals like virtus, slavia and verna.

Good Experience of toyota corola in respect of everything, like maintenance, average, safety & comfortable.

I have been a big fan of Toyota cars as I have been using them (Etios and Innova) for a long time now. In Oct 2016, my family wanted to purchase a D1 segment executive sedan. Below were our prime requirements, not in any particular order. 1. Reliability and low cost of ownership 2. Back seat comfort as the car will be chauffeur driven mainly 3. Petrol option as running will be < 1200 kms/month 4. Good build quality 5. Within a budget of 15 lacs Since reliability was a major factor so European manufacturer cars (Jetta, Octavia) were not considered. Renault Fluence and Chevrolet Cruze were also eliminated as there was no petrol engine option and they were pretty dated now. So we were left with 2 options: 1. Toyota Corolla Altis J+ 2. Hyundai Elantra S We had initially booked Elantra as it was a newly launched model and was better feature loaded than Corolla (comparing base variants). However, later on, concerns regarding new petrol engine and unavailability of the car within 1-2 months made us cancel it's booking. Since we were looking for petrol engine hence Corolla was being preferred over Elantra due to a more reliable engine which had more grunt in mid range. So we finally booked Toyota Corolla Altis (Champagne Mica color). Toyota dealer had the car in stock so me and my brother did a quick PDI of it and cleared it for further formalities. So our car was delivered in 1st week of October 2016. Though it's a base model variant but I personally think it covers all basic things (2 airbags, ABS+EBD, OEM music system with air gesture, height adjustable driver seat, reclining rear seat etc). This being a global car for Toyota, overall build quality is also very good (better than Innova and Fortuner which are more expensive than it). Interior plastics are also of good quality, especially the dash top which is soft. During the limited time period we had owned it, fuel efficiency we got is around 12 kmpl in city (bumper to bumper traffic) and 14 kmpl on highway. We know that it's going to be an ever-reliable family workhorse and Toyota's excellent A.S.S will be there to take care in case of any issue. It has been an absolute pleasure driving it or being driven !!

Having sold 40 million units in over 150 countries, it would be an understatement to say that the Toyota Corolla is just another successful car model. The sedan was introduced in India back in 2003 and now the Japanese carmaker is set to launch the 11th generation, 2014 Toyota Corolla Altis in our country. And this isn't another run-of-the-mill facelift; the car represents Toyota's new, youthful design philosophy. The understated and sedate styling is pass now. The 2014 Toyota Corolla Altis not just looks a lot better than the outgoing model but also appears much more dynamic and contemporary. This, perhaps, is the most aggressive-looking Toyota Corolla Altis of all times. The front features a bold new 'T'design theme, created by the new swept back headlamps which merge into the front grille. The double barrel cluster headlights now get smart LED daytime running lights on the top-end variants. Sleek chrome garnish on the headlight and the large chrome grille add the premium touch to the front design. The long and wide bonnet, the acute angle of the windscreen and lower roofline gives the 2014 Toyota Corolla a low, sports-car-like profile with improved aerodynamics.

I have been driving the New Corolla Altis 2014 (petrol) for 69000kms plus now. The car is excellent in cabin space in its class, be it the head room or the leg room compared to its rivals. The car is very smooth, great mileage can be achieved given how you drive and maintain the car timely. Driving the car is not too fun in high speeds and tight corners, it is more fun driving lazy and cruising on highways (under regulated speeds). The car holds its balance on the highway at curves quite firmly. Ride quality is excellent so far. The headlamps and tail lights have been designed so much more sexier than any other car in its segment which makes it completely stand out from the rest. It is very stylish bold and sleek.The 7" touch screen system is fairly good, but could have been better....it kind of feels like a low end quality system in terms of the display resolution and touch quality, though the audio sound is great. Reverse camera has a wide angle view in the touch screen, so while reversing in a busy traffic area it becomes fairly a breeze to reverse without much need to look around stressing your neck.Interior plastic quality feels cheaper than the previous generation of Altis. However, there are many improvements from the previous generation Altis like; looks smarter, sharper and more executive, larger interior space, fuel efficiency is better, better seating comfort, steering mounted answer and end call buttons and the better body colour options.It lacks rear row ac and thus can feel hot during very sunny days unless the ac is on full blower. But it does come with an added advantage of seating 3 people in the rear seat quite comfortable without much body squeeze. Toyota should have at least given optional to have ventilated seats, rear vent ac, sunroof. All in all it is a great car to own in its segment, I would say cost effective too.
