Toyota Corolla Altis

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

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.

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.

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design is okay too, but unfortunately spoilt by the infotainment centre console which has THICK bezels that just looks outdated.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

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.

I have driven the following car , really face lifted to the latest daring and racing mode style car. The car interior also have changed from the previous look which is up to the market from other competitors. The driving around was smooth.

Just collect 3 weeks ago..Is comfort and smooth ride..Got a very good service from my SE- Laurence Ng of Borneo Motor..

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!

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.

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.

Have owned two Altis and each of these had not failed me before. Very reliable. Great car from point A to B.

The new Toyota Corolla Altis continues to be as practical and reliable sedan as before, but this time around, it packs in an added dash of styling which feels both sporty and elegant at the same time.

Toyota has been a breeze car for a lot of drivers throughout many years. And over the years it has improved or rather has supercede many sedan cars in anything.. Be it features.. Designs.. Fuel consumption etc..

This alits is the one of the best uplifted car for a sedan with new sporty looks and interior to match the up and coming looks for the future.

I just purchased the corolla altis elegance after considering all other options in the price range, the main competitor being the mazda 3 since the current gen Honda civic is already quite an old model and thus not part of my consideration.

When choosing the altis over the competition, its really about what kind of person you are. If you want the latest and greatest tech, this car is not for you. If you want a car that is fuss free, drives well and gives you a peace of mind, the altis ticks the right boxes.

It has features that matter, nothing more. The toyota safety sense gives you all you can ask for safety wise, but the head unit is very simple and lacks apple carplay or android auto. However, since its a typical square unit bin, finding aftermarket replacements are very easy. The mazda 3 gives you a better infotainment system and a heads up display, but if they fail or give issues (users have complained about black dots appearing), you have no choice but to go back to the agent. Also, you can't upgrade it at will in the future.

The ride quality is way better than the competition. The TNGA platform and double wishbone rear suspension makes the car feel so stable and so very comfortable. You can tell the engineers are focused on giving the driver the most relaxing drive, instead of loading the car up with electronics. The drivers seat has adjustable lumbar support. To be fair, the mazda 3 has this too.

The final point is on durability. As mentioned above, this car is for the buyer who wants things to work. Fancy thingamajigs are second priority. A simple Google search will show you all the issues owners of its competitor - the mazda 3 latest gen have experienced.

This is a car for the buyer who wants to keep it for a long time without having to go back and forth to the workshop for things failing. It is futureproof as well with full led lights and a replaceable infotainment system so you can switch it out for the latest and greatest way easier than its competitors who use dedicated ones specific to the car model.
