Toyota Corolla Altis 2013-2017 Specifications

Good Experience of toyota corola in respect of everything, like maintenance, average, safety & comfortable.

I have been a big fan of Toyota cars as I have been using them (Etios and Innova) for a long time now. In Oct 2016, my family wanted to purchase a D1 segment executive sedan. Below were our prime requirements, not in any particular order. 1. Reliability and low cost of ownership 2. Back seat comfort as the car will be chauffeur driven mainly 3. Petrol option as running will be < 1200 kms/month 4. Good build quality 5. Within a budget of 15 lacs Since reliability was a major factor so European manufacturer cars (Jetta, Octavia) were not considered. Renault Fluence and Chevrolet Cruze were also eliminated as there was no petrol engine option and they were pretty dated now. So we were left with 2 options: 1. Toyota Corolla Altis J+ 2. Hyundai Elantra S We had initially booked Elantra as it was a newly launched model and was better feature loaded than Corolla (comparing base variants). However, later on, concerns regarding new petrol engine and unavailability of the car within 1-2 months made us cancel it's booking. Since we were looking for petrol engine hence Corolla was being preferred over Elantra due to a more reliable engine which had more grunt in mid range. So we finally booked Toyota Corolla Altis (Champagne Mica color). Toyota dealer had the car in stock so me and my brother did a quick PDI of it and cleared it for further formalities. So our car was delivered in 1st week of October 2016. Though it's a base model variant but I personally think it covers all basic things (2 airbags, ABS+EBD, OEM music system with air gesture, height adjustable driver seat, reclining rear seat etc). This being a global car for Toyota, overall build quality is also very good (better than Innova and Fortuner which are more expensive than it). Interior plastics are also of good quality, especially the dash top which is soft. During the limited time period we had owned it, fuel efficiency we got is around 12 kmpl in city (bumper to bumper traffic) and 14 kmpl on highway. We know that it's going to be an ever-reliable family workhorse and Toyota's excellent A.S.S will be there to take care in case of any issue. It has been an absolute pleasure driving it or being driven !!

I have been driving the New Corolla Altis 2014 (petrol) for 69000kms plus now. The car is excellent in cabin space in its class, be it the head room or the leg room compared to its rivals. The car is very smooth, great mileage can be achieved given how you drive and maintain the car timely. Driving the car is not too fun in high speeds and tight corners, it is more fun driving lazy and cruising on highways (under regulated speeds). The car holds its balance on the highway at curves quite firmly. Ride quality is excellent so far. The headlamps and tail lights have been designed so much more sexier than any other car in its segment which makes it completely stand out from the rest. It is very stylish bold and sleek.The 7" touch screen system is fairly good, but could have been better....it kind of feels like a low end quality system in terms of the display resolution and touch quality, though the audio sound is great. Reverse camera has a wide angle view in the touch screen, so while reversing in a busy traffic area it becomes fairly a breeze to reverse without much need to look around stressing your neck.Interior plastic quality feels cheaper than the previous generation of Altis. However, there are many improvements from the previous generation Altis like; looks smarter, sharper and more executive, larger interior space, fuel efficiency is better, better seating comfort, steering mounted answer and end call buttons and the better body colour options.It lacks rear row ac and thus can feel hot during very sunny days unless the ac is on full blower. But it does come with an added advantage of seating 3 people in the rear seat quite comfortable without much body squeeze. Toyota should have at least given optional to have ventilated seats, rear vent ac, sunroof. All in all it is a great car to own in its segment, I would say cost effective too.

To start of with the exterior, the front grill is something one cannot miss a glimpse.The design is minimal, with razor sharp character lines that highlight the generous length of the car. The chiseled chin, the daytime running lamp setup, the tail-section - everything looks neatly done. In particular the tail light section very much looks the same as that of Camry its elder bro up the line.To sum up the proportions for the Altis is spot on for a salon of its kind.As far as the interiors are concerned, getting inside and out with a knackered knee is not smooth.But once you settle down there is little complaints behind the steering wheel.There's a touchscreen infotainment system, dual-zone climate control, electrically adjustable seats.The infotainment system with the Mirrorlink system is awesome.The back seaters won't complain about the space and one word that sums up is ample.Genuine leather quality makes the seating much more comfortable. But one thing that would have been for grab wud have been the ventilated seats atleast for the front seaters given our climate conditions.AC blower is superb and really does not bother the back seaters even if without the AC controls.The engine is responsive being a petrol one and ride quality is smooth.An impressive 175 mm ground clearance does not bother you about the odd rumblers on Indian roads.Overall pretty satisfied with the car and enjoy driving the same for years to come, how many can't say at the moment.

Looks & Style: I bought this car in April and overall I find it having the best look in its range and the segment. Comfort: Very much comfortable to drive Pickup: Pickup is fabulous, but its gear is not that much smoother while changing. Mileage; It is around 8-9 kmpl in the city with AC and without AC it's 12-13. On the highway, it gives 11-12 kmpl with the AC and 14-15 without AC. Best Features: Best thing is its pickup. Needs to Improve: Improvement can be done in the gear box and the cost of maintenance is very high. Overall Experience: Its a good car. I am with a satisfied smile to own this car...

Look and Style: Very luxurious, though a bit outdated with the new horses on the road. Comfort: Nothing beats a Toyota, entire ambience makes driving a pleasure. Pickup: Extremely good and responsive. Mileage: Not very high but with a 1.8 engine, 14kmpl on the highway is pretty good. Best Features: Sticks to the road, have taken turns at 100kmph and more, you don't feel even the centrifugal force. Overall Experience: Sad to sell it but need a bigger car for the family :(

Look and Style: It's a head turner. It gives sporty looks if you view the car from the front. Comfort: Ahh... great Pickup: 5 out of 5 for AT petrol Mileage: For petrol it gives 12.7kmpl --an average with 40% highway and 60% city. Best Features: Petrol AT, Pickup, road grip at high speed, Zero noise and vibration. Needs to improve: Has a little rubberband effect for AT version, have got used to within a couple of months. Switches on doors need improvement with light on it for easily visibility at night. It is difficult to find the switch at night while driving. Accessing the seat belt for the driver's position is little difficult. you need to struggle to access that. The AT shifter knob could have been more elegant. Overall Experience: 5 out of 5; will recommend at any time.
