Finally your wait for the new corolla will be soon over. Toyota has been delaying the new generation Corolla in India for sometime and invited rant reviews from Indian customers. The tenth generation Corolla made its international debut in October 2006. However the story will be soon over, Toyota will launch the car in September.
To be christened as Corolla altis in India the car will spearhead the second beginning for Toyota in India. The new corolla altis is a dramatic departure from the succession of dull, anonymously styled models as it borrows styling cues from the Camry.
The 2008 corolla Altis will be 10mm longer, 60mm wider and 20mm lower than the current model. The wheelbase will be unchanged at 2,600mm, but with the wider track and lower center of gravity the handling should be noticeably improved. The extra width should also improve cabin space, and although slightly lower, the Altis is still 50mm taller than the Civic. The new corolla altis will be powered by a 1.8L engine developing around 140bhp. This engine is a carryover from the existing corolla but will be tweaked for better performance. A four speed auto box will be offered as optional. However the new coroll altis won’t come with diesel engine atleast initially.
The bookings for the new corolla altis has started and you can book the car by paying Rs2 lakhs in chennai. The new corolla altis will be available for display in showrooms from third week of August and the official launch would happen sometime in september. The new corolla altis will be priced around Rs13 lakh.
* As advertised in leading newspapers the new corolla altis will be launched in India on September 05th
