Toyota has launched the Corolla Altis facelift in India, it is now priced between Rs 15.88 Lakh and Rs 19.92 Lakh, ex-showroom Delhi. Highlights of the facelift include a new front bumper, grille, all-LED headlamps with DRLs, LED tail-lamps, instrument cluster design, lighter interior theme and round AC vents. This should help the D-segment sedan be competitive in its segment again; the Corolla Altis was dethroned from its position as the best-selling car in the segment by the new Hyundai Elantra in October 2016.
Currently, the Toyota Corolla Altis is offered in a total of 6 variants: three petrol MT (ARAI-certified mileage of 15.49kmpl), one petrol AT (ARAI-certified mileage of 13.64kmpl) and two diesel MT (ARAI-certified mileage of 19.65kmpl).
The Toyota Corolla Altis is priced between Rs 15.88 lakh and Rs 19.92 lakh, ex-showroom Delhi. While direct competition includes the Hyundai Elantra, Chevrolet Cruze, Skoda Octavia, Renault Fluence and the Volkswagen Jetta - it is the Elantra that poses the greatest threat. SUVs and crossovers in the price segment also make it difficult to woo customers.
Currently in its second generation, the Corolla Altis was launched in India in May 2014. Save for the petrol and diesel motors, the Corolla Altis is completely different from the model it replaced. The edgier exterior design, premium interiors and Toyota's reputation for producing reliable cars makes the Altis a very attractive buy.

Not fun to drive, low on safety systems, is not a value for money proposition
