Editorial Review

The Altis is endlessly reliable, the Mazda3 is pretty and premium, but the Hyundai Avante delivers equipment and refinement that's tremendous value for money.

Very good car, once engine broken in throttle feels good, infotainment system amazing and safety features very good. But I'm coming from driving conti car for almost 15 years and i feel the difference massively. My old chevrolet just absorbed the small bumps and cracks in the roads much better than this. And i do feel the interior was much more spacious with more leather. But to contradict it's unfair to compare a 15yr old conti with a 2 week old toyota

Review

The Toyota Corolla is no longer the boring family sedan we know. There's a sharp front and rear thanks to the fresh head and taillights, and a pretty cool blue instrument cluster as well.

icon image
What I Like

Sharp exterior looks alongside a sensible and still fresh-looking interior dashboard and cabin.


It's a naturally-aspirated engine paired to a CVT, so don't expect too much torque to send you off at the traffic lights, but the entire setup is still reasonably refined and quiet.


There's also good ride quality making the car just comfortable and a pleasure to steer.

icon image
What I Dislike

Central infotainment really needs to be completely redone. The bezels on the display are huge, and the screen graphics and layout look like it could be in a car from one generation ago.

Review

Just gotten my Altis, have been a very enjoyable ride. Got the Standard variant without Toyota Safety Sense. Exterior looks great, interior leather feel is soft and nice. Features wise is not that impressive compared to other sedans, but not that big a dealbreaker for me. Can make do without some of the features, but also would love other features like the pre-collision alert and front sensors.


Overall is really great driving the new Altis, i think it's quite fun each time i drive without much effort and it's fuss-free, even without much features i don't think it is really that big a difference. I mean it just means more effort to look out for vehicles or other road users and paying more attention to the road but that's expected of a driver.

icon image
What I Like

- Engine is quite responsive and quiet, doesn't require to step that hard on the accelerator

- soft touches and nice design

- simple, easy to drive

- very comfortable and good suspension

- rear aircon vents

- big boot space

icon image
What I Dislike

- lack of features like the headunit without Android Auto/Apple Carplay (but easy to upgrade)

- should have some safety features even if not the whole TSS suite

- no auto folding mirrors after locking vehicle

- door should have the small storage space that can act as the handle too

- halogen headlamps

Test drove the Altis & Vios - have to say the Altis drives much better than the Vios (but that is probably not saying much)


Exterior design is above average although a bit bland.

Internal design is okay too, but unfortunately spoilt by the infotainment centre console which has THICK bezels that just looks outdated.


All-round: average enough there is no real motivator to buy except it is a Toyota (with its expected reliability etc) but infotainment bezel was a deal breaker... Did not buy in the end.

icon image
What I Like

Toyota Safety Suite was quite comprehensive

Exterior design is not bad

icon image
What I Dislike

Infotainment console looks VERY dated/out of place with the thick bezels. Badly integrated into the dashboard (neither the integrated look, nor the "stuck-on-iPad" look). Being the centre stage of the car interior, no-go for me

My Toyota Altis 12 Generation model
Posted on: 21-Nov-2021

Review

I owned several Toyota Altis before. From 4 gen, 6 gen, 8 gen,10 gen, 11 gen and this is my latest 12 generation Toyota Altis.


The major differences and improvements are:

Quite

Most comfortable

Best fuel economy from city driving 14km per litre to straight express way 20 km per litre.

Best handling

Comfort ride, dampened any uneven and good for rough roads.


I like the back seat designed, for passengers easy in and out because high seat good for Support of back.


Overall for the money you pay, it will not disappoint. It delivers more than a family sedan car and equals to a Camry ride.


Cons.

Change the Audio head-unit and speakers, you need features like wireless Apple CarPlay or Android for handsfree driving. Toyota safety sense is a plus but hand free driving to me is a must.

Review

Collected my Altis from Inchcape yesterday and clock around 80km. This latest Altis is good for beginners too. My previous Altis (2006 to 2016) was reliable, just needed servicing but no need major repairs even after 165k km. Hope this can last well too!

icon image
What I Like

Light easy steering

Stable when cornering

Quiet engine until more power is needed (80kmh and above)

Rear Air Con / Powerful Air Con

Free leather seats / solar films / front & back car camera

Big boot

Good fuel efficiency / easy to service at outside workshops

icon image
What I Dislike

Car ceiling is low, tall drivers may not feel comfortable

Rear passengers feels "cramped" compared to older versions of Altis

Lack of nice colours for paints

Not easy to use screen mirroring to get Google Maps to work (need cable) / time lag etc

Impressed with the facelift look. Sporty and with a touch of Lexus. Booked a test drive and find the handling amazing, winning the Civic and more comfortable than Mazda 3. Safety features like dynamic cruise control and lane keep assistance also win the competitor hands down. Only complain is the infotainment system. No idea why Borneo motor doesn't give the original infotainment system to the non hybrid elegance model. Also should give e park brakes rather than hand brake on elegance model. Indeed Toyota has listen to the consumers and finally made a corolla that can compete with Civic.

Handling

Comfort

Really impressive handling (got to reiterate)

What I Dislike

Borneo motor infotainment system. The Original Pi model looks so much better

No electronic parking brake

Can make the rear wider for a more sporty look

Smart unlock only for driver side

Drives far better than previous model. Menacing looks and has that Lexus vibe for the tail lights. There's a reason why Corolla is the most sellable car on earth. It just never fails you. Tested the non hybrid model.

icon image
What I Like

-Android auto & apple carplay

-Full suit of active and passive safety features

-Drive was confident and planted

-Not much of CVT whining

-Totally new design and platform

-Responsve steering

-Solid brakes

-Freezing cold aircon

-Good resale value

-High ARF for a Thailand made car

icon image
What I Dislike

-Slightly underpowered. 1.8ltr engine would have been better

-Crampy rear legroom

-Small boot

-$7k top up for the Elegant model
