  • I have owned this altis for 2 years plus and clocked mileage for 50K. I would say this is a good vehicle that never brought any issue to me at the moment.
    Besides that, i have been travelled to NS highway at speed of 170km/hr and still very stable. I would say it is a good handling and good engine performance vehicle. Moreover, the vehicle is able to catch up at high speed within short period of time with just 1.6 litre engine.
    FC is considered good as well. With full tank of petrol it can last for 520km (city 70% Highway 30%) 650km (NS highway)

  • Receive my car in Apr 2019 and has travelled 11k km, i must say this car was able to met my daily needs of ferrying passenger or items.
    With the rear seat down, i was able to fit in a cabinet height of 1.5meter easily into the boot. During my daily commute from the west to east, the car provide linear power across the range and it has sufficient power to do overtake on the highway.
    Doing my higher speed run in the North country, it is stable at 150km/h - 160km/h, it does give the confidence when travelling at that speed and the engine does not show sign of strain at that speed.
    The rear passenger space was one of the best among it class. It does not have a hump across the middle seat that most cars have which allow passenger to easily seat in the middle. Even with 2 child seat in the rear seat, it was still able to fit in and average size adult for short commute.
    The air con was also one of the best in class, even without the rear aircon vent. It was able to cool down the car quickly and the airflow was strong enough to blow the air into the back seat, stratifying my kids request. On a normal day, i only turn on 1 bar of airflow.
    My servicing experience with Toyota has been positive. Was able to arrange last min appointment and the operator will try their best to accommodate my request even with a few days notice. They also provide car cleaning service after the service, which was a plus but at time the car was still having some stain leftover by the technical crew.
    However for the fuel consumption, it is on the higher side. At 60% Highway i was only able to clock 10-11km/l for a 1.6L car whereas on paper it state 16km combine. I think this is quite far from my expectation.
    overall the experience of owning Altis was positive and the made and finish material are on the higher side as compared to the competitor. For point A to B car, from my opinion this is 1 of the best car to own with high rating for their reliability.

  • For decades, the Altis has been constantly improving in the reliability, technology and comfort. When driving, we can literally see at least 1 Altis at every Junction that we go. This is how common this car had become. This car has been a household name to many since the 2004s when the Altis first touched down on Singapore's Shores. So for today, let us just talk about the features of the Car and leave Performance out of the picture sice many of you would be interested in the Features rather than engine performance.

  • Look much nicer than the previous version, a little bit more executive looking.
    I drove it for 30000km before writing this review. Overall, the car can be summarized in 1 word - OK. Everything is good but not fantastic, slightly overprice for a made in thailand car.

» VERDICT

Toyota has sold some 40 million units of the legendary Corolla Altis since it became the best-selling car three decades back. While it has undergone a series of design changes for the past 10 generations, it's only with this latest iteration that it can be claimed as a revolution rather than an evolution.

The new Altis is easily the sleekest of the lot, with a swept back windshield, sporty chrome strips, redesigned bumper and new headlamps, giving it a Continental flavour that sets it apart from rivals such as the Kia Forte K3 and the Mazda3 Sedan.

Thus, the Altis is no longer as instantly recognisable as it used to be. It has finally shed its boring image that will have no qualms attracting the younger and trendier audience. From the distinct front grille to the boldly sculpted panels, the new Altis' dynamic design language captures attention wherever you go.

Tweaks have also been made to give the Altis' interior a classier and more comfortable finish. Other than higher quality leather and plastics, the instrument panel is also prettier and more futuristic than before.

More significantly, the wheelbase has been stretched by 100mm which translates to more legroom for rear passengers. A flat floor bed for the middle rear seat helps to provide more space too.

More importantly, every aspect that contributes to performance has been improved, resulting in a car that puts a smile on its driver on the road. Powered by a 1.6-litre Dual VVT-I engine paired to a new seven-speed CVT-i transmission, the Altis pulls eagerly from low revs as it moves forward with the slightest tap of the throttle. At the same time, it returns a remarkable fuel economy of 12km/L, enhancing its economical appeal.
