Toyota Corolla Altis Diesel
Expected in Late 2009
One of Toyota’s worldwide best selling Toyota Corolla entered the Indian car market more than half a decade ago. Sometime back, the Corolla got revamped to Corolla Altis. The Corolla Altis got a new front grille, hood, lights and a few more add-ons here and there, making it look more like the typical uncle’s car. Now, for diesel engine lovers
Engine:
Surprisingly, the Corolla Altis could use the 1.4 litre turbocharged diesel engine which rustles about 90-100bhp. The engine is torquey and Toyota claims it to be efficient.
Features:
The Corolla Altis diesel will have the same features like its petrol sibling be it exteriors, interiors or safety.
Competitors:
The Toyota Corolla Altis Diesel will compete with the Skoda Octavia, Skoda Laura, VW Jetta diesel variants. The less maintenance of Toyota could be vital here. With the Toyota known for its maintenance free cars, this could work in their favour.
