Car Profiles - Toyota Corolla Altis

TOYOTA COROLLA ALTIS

Boring image no more, the 11th generation Corolla has evolved to a sportier image while gaining a host of changes including a CVT which is more responsive. The compact sedan which you wouldn't be ashamed of driving.

The Good: Comfortable to ride in, not the plain vanilla it used to be when it comes to styling.
The Bad: Pricey top of the line model. Still doesn't offer anything stand out in the competitive segment.

Price Range: P836,000-P1,201,000
