[6][7] On 15 March 2017, the E190 facelift version of the Corolla Altis launched in the country with a revised front fascia and 7 airbags instead of 2, among other updates.
Toyota shutdown the production on 31 March 2020 due to declining sales and did not engineer to meet the Bharat Stage 6 emission standards which came into effect in April.
[12] In Malaysia, the Corolla Altis was launched in January 2014 and came in three variant forms, the base 1.8 E, the 2.0 G and the range-topping 2.0 V. CVT transmission with seven-speed sports sequential shift were standard across the lineup.
[13] In November 2014, the 2.0 G was replaced with the 1.8 G.[14] In December 2016, the facelift model was launched with seven airbags, ABS with EBD and brake assist, vehicle stability control and ISOFIX rear child seat anchors as standard equipment.
[15] In September 2017, the range was updated with DVR dash cam, 360-degree Panoramic View Monitor and additional USB ports.
Some of the features of Altis Grande 1.8L were CVT-i, automatic air conditioning with climate control, immobilizer anti-theft system, jack knife key, WOW meter, sunroof, 16-inches Hyper Black alloy wheels, leather interior with bucket seats, 8-inch Android infotainment system, multimedia steering keys, driver + passenger SRS airbags, auto-fold outdoor rear view mirrors (ORVM), 6:4 rear reclining seats, body coloured mud flaps, etc.
The entry-level 1.6 E model only came with a six-speed manual transmission, four-beam halogen headlamps, fabric upholstery, and 16-inch alloy wheels.
The mid-range 1.6 G model added TVSS, fog lights and was available in six-speed manual or seven-speed continuously variable transmission.
The 1.6 V featured a push starter and front bumper sensors, and the high-end 2.0 V added LED headlamps with DRLs, paddle shifters, rain sensing wipers, leather seats, 17-inch alloy wheels, and sport body kit.
Initially offered as a single trim, it was later split into Classic and Elegance trims with the former using multi-reflector headlamps, 16-inch rims, and the latter adds LED headlamps with DRLs, keyless entry with push button start, auto-dimming rear view mirror, ionizer for climate control.
In mid 2017, the facelift model received safety features such as seven airbags, ABS with EBD and brake assist, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) were made standard across all trims.
An Eco trim was initially offered during first batch of the facelift period, providing a no-frills option with basic 15” alloy rims, leather seats and without fog lamps.
Safety features such as seven airbags, ABS with EBD and brake assist, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) were standard across all trims.
Thailand was the only country to offers all existing grades of the new Altis, whilst export markets were only given a fraction of the Thai range in varying combinations.
Unlike most markets in Southeast Asia, CNG powered grades were offered for the 1.6-litre variants of the Corolla Altis.
For the saloon version, which was imported from Thailand, there were three different variants: the base Ascent, the mid range SX model, and the flagship ZR.
[36] In February 2014, Toyota introduced the Corolla E180 in Germany, western Europe's largest national automobile market.
The North American Corolla is very similar to the international version, except for offering revised front and rear styling.
Stylistic elements of this generation of the Corolla were previewed in the Furia concept car shown at the January 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
[41] Toyota focused on fuel efficiency with this new design, while continuing the longstanding trend of increasing size and weight.
With the exception of the LE Eco trim, the 1.8-litre engine is equipped with dual Intelligent VVT-i variable valve timing, producing 98 kW (132 hp).
Valvematic offers a broader range of continuously variable valve timing (lift and phasing) over VVT-i, providing more optimal intake valve (not on exhaust side) operation relative to engine demands conferring a five-percent improvement in fuel economy and engine output.
The front suspension uses MacPherson struts with a new, more rigid control-arm design, while the rear uses a torsion beam arrangement.
The spring rates on Corolla are relaxed, but the S model equipped with 17-inch wheels includes unique coil, damper, and bushing tuning to offering stiffer handling.
[48][49] In 2016, for the 2017 model year, Toyota released the facelift version of the E170 Corolla with new aerodynamic scoops, (only for 50th anniversary edition) restyled front facia, including new headlight design; redesigned taillights also featured.
The lower intake is trapezoidal-shaped like the regular (non-sport) grade North American Corolla, but for China features a chrome surround.
However, the reshaped boot lid has the Toyota logo moved upwards to make way for the dominating chrome strip that bridges the tail lamps.
