The sales launch and price announcement will take place in May 2014.

The Corolla Altis for India is available with a petrol and diesel engine. The petrol motor is the same 1.8-liter four-cylinder with Dual VVT-i producing 140 PS at 6,400 rpm. It comes mated to a 6-speed manual transmission or a Super CVT 7-speed automatic gearbox.

The wheelbase has increased by 100 mm compared to the previous generation model, and as a result, rear seat legroom has increased by the same amount. Toyota will offer reclining rear seats on the car to further enhance comfort for rear seat passengers.

Top-end variants will feature LED headlamps, LED clearance Lamps, 16-inch alloy wheels, leather seats, dual-tone interiors, push start/stop button, smart entry, rain sensor, paddle shifts, 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with USB, Bluetooth, navigation and reverse camera.
