Ushering the Philippines into a new era in motoring, Toyota Motor Philippines has finally revealed the All-new Corolla Altis. With models ranging from a conventional 1.6 L, all the way to the top-of-the-line 1.8 L Hybrid, the Altis puts together form, functionality, and green technology in a single package.
Elevating the Altis to greater heights, the front of the Altis sports Toyota’s signature trapezoidal lower grille that accentuates the low, wide stance of the car. The top of the grille and the headlamps form a smooth line, accentuating the vehicle’s dynamic, active look, made even more so by bi-beam LED headlamps, 17-inch alloy wheels and LED line guide running lights on the 1.8V HV and 1.6V CVT variants.
The minimalist interior is every bit as sophisticated and sleek as the outside. Spacious, simple, and functional, it delivers comfort for both the driver and passengers, for a ride unlike any other in its class.
A lower hood line, larger windshield, and smaller A-pillar all give a better field of view, while seven SRS airbags, Anti-Lock Brake System with Electronic Brake Force Distribution, Vehicle Stability Control, Hill Start Assist, and 3-point Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) seatbelts for the driver and all passengers ensure safety on the road.
The 1.8V HV offers additional functionality with the addition of Toyota Safety Sense. It’s a combination of features that includes a pre-collision braking system, lane departure alert, automatic high beam, lane tracing assist, and dynamic radar cruise control for unparalleled driving convenience.
“The All-New Toyota Corolla is the first-ever model to be launched in the Philippines that completely embodies our philosophy of ever-better cars,” says TMP President Satoru Suzuki. “With Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) which is the new standard of design and engineering, it provides ever-better performance. With Toyota Safety Sense (TSS), it offers customers ever-better lives. And with Hybrid Technology, it helps create an ever-better world.”
The 1.8V HV variant, unarguably the star of the show, is powered by VVT-I, 4-Cylinder In-Line DOHC, 16 Valve engine with a displacement of 1,798 cc and an electric motor for a total output f 121 HP, and 142 Nm of torque at 3,600 RPM. Smoother driving, better fuel-efficiency, and lowers emissions are the result of Toyota’s continuing adoption of hybrid technology. The highly competitive price of PHP 1.58 M means more people can shift to hybrid technology and make the roads greener one vehicle at a time.
