in the country. This 12th-generation version of Toyota’s stalwart family sedan arrives with an all-new platform and a smattering of new features., with a more conventional and less overtly sporty design compared to the one sold exclusively in the United States. By no means does this car look boring, however, as the styling is quite a bit more aggressive than the outgoing model, dominated by a massive lower grille.
The interior is again derived from other Corolla models sold elsewhere, with a layered dashboard design with a freestanding head unit. Aside from claims of improved perceived quality, Toyota has also added new features such as a large head-up display, a seven-inch digital speedometer display, rear air-con vents and an eight-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
The new Altis range consists of six variants, split equally into petrol and Hybrid power. Pricing starts at 829,000 baht for the base 1.6 litre Limo, rising to 869,000 baht for the 1.6G. The GR Sport is powered by a more powerful 1.8 litre engine and retails at 999,000 baht . The 1.6 litre 1ZR-FBE four-cylinder makes 125 PS at 6,050 rpm and 156 Nm of torque at 5,200 rpm, whereas the larger 1.8 litre 2ZR-FBE produces 140 PS at 6,000 rpm and 177 Nm at 4,000 rpm; both are linked to a CVT. The Hybrid utilises the 2ZR-FXE Atkinson-cycle version of the 1.8 litre mill that churns out 98 PS at 5,200 rpm and 142 Nm at 3,600 rpm, and is paired to a 72 PS/122 Nm electric motor for a total of 122 PS.
