UPDATE 3: Here's our full review of the Toyota Corolla Altis 2.0 V.

47 years and 40 million units sold to date, the Toyota Corolla is the best-selling car nameplate on the planet and has always been the Japanese automaker’s leader when it comes to adopting new concepts and technologies. Sold in 154 countries worldwide, the Corolla is designed to meet and exceed the expectations of a global customer base that has become more discerning when it comes to a car of superior quality, durability, and reliability. Toyota’s response is the all-new, 11th generation Corolla Altis—a car that inherits 50 years of Corolla DNA but with an advanced design, improved roominess and comfort, more dynamic performance, and unrivaled fuel economy. This is Toyota’s best and most capable Corolla Altis yet.

The 2014 Corolla Altis features a sportier exterior, a further evolution of Toyota’s new design language. It’s 4,620 mm long, 1,775 mm wide, and 1,465 mm high making it 80 mm longer, 15 mm wider, and yet 5 mm lower than its predecessor. The overall look is clean and balanced with clear emphasis on highlighting the added wheelbase (now at 2,700 mm). It looks visually proportioned thanks to a slightly longer front overhang (5 mm) and a substantially reduced rear overhang (25 mm).

At the front, the Corolla Altis features chrome horizontal bars that extend visually to the headlamps exuding a sense of width. On the 2.0 V, it has LED headlamps with LED daytime running lights giving a stronger visual signature. At the back, the trunk lid features a sharp, crisp cut sandwiched by the wide LED tail lamp clusters. At each corner, the Corolla Altis receives standard 205/55R16 tires while the 2.0 V receives 215/45R17 tires. Along with the sportier rims, the 2.0 V also gets a wrap-around aerodynamic kit including a rear spoiler. While looking sharp and sporty, the Corolla Altis puts equal emphasis on improved aerodynamics, cutting its co-efficient of drag to just 0.27 thanks to the ‘aero corner’ design of the bumpers, Formula One derived “sakana” stabilizer fins on the door mirrors, and reduced panel gaps. The slippery exterior equates to enhanced cabin quietness and reduced fuel consumption.

Inside, the all-new Corolla Altis combines a clean, elegant, and uncluttered interior styling while reinforcing its cabin spaciousness. The top has a soft upper surface that flows over the instrument cluster while the dashboard face combines convex soft-touch padding with a concave center console panel finished in black or in the case of the 2.0 V, “Cybercarbon”. This is complimented by silver trim detailing including a bar that runs through the dash and onto the doors. The instrument cluster features blue lighting with a multi-information display. Fabric seats are standard on all 1.6-liter models while the 2.0 V has the added sporting touch of leather seats. Other exclusive luxury features on the 2.0 V include rain-sensing wipers and an 8-way power adjustable driver’s seat.
