Hi TangoElite,

 

Glad that the price list was helpful...

 

Btw the test drive unit is already at Leng Kee... Was told by SE that they are officially launching soon...

 

And yes, it comes with 7 airbags and electric powered seat for the driver side (not sure if this applies for both standard/elegance models but I saw it in the test drive unit)...

 

New "fiercer" headlight design and front bumper... one other noticeable change is the shape of the air-con outlet near the side mirrors, they are now round...

 

I don't remember seeing rear air-con outlet though...  and I didn't check the size of the tire/rim...

I always go for video review, this one by Taiwan, always comprehensive, should be more or less the same as Singapore version

Lovely vents - like the A3

Good to see the new safety features

Not much more to ask for for the civil servant / teacher driver who loves his or her Corolla.

Competitive with the recent upgrade. Choice will depends of the loyal following but if more neutral person, the safety aspect will prob win over.

Toyota should bring in 1.8 variant on top of standard 1.6, it been awhile since we last have 1.8 Altis, even Malaysia, India and Taiwan also have for their pre-facelift model.

 

Current hot selling family car 2014 pre-facdlift model safety is a joke with 2 airbags compare to Kia k3, it also lack rear aircon vents which is a standard for Elentra, K3 and latest Civic, the new upcoming Altis still lack this but at least come with better safety features.

 

Interestingly Corolla Altis is not even on sale in their home ground Japan. Is like a export model only.

Think back then when they bring in the 1.8L altis, dont think it is popular among buyers. Many people still buy the 1.6L instead of the 1.8L. So dont think they would want to bring in the 1.8L again?!

Tough la bro..

At the current prices, buyers are complaining about the cost vs other brands, and most local buyers will sacrifice power for savings..

The main selling point is reliability and resale.

The bedrock of Toyota. If they take away these, it won't be the innovations, shape or feature set that attracts the buyers.

In the COE era, I think the only time a higher cc model outsold a lower cc model was when the 1.8L Civic FD outsold the 1.6L Civic.

 

Toyota did have a 1.8L Altis, similarly, Mazda does have a 2.0L Mazda 3. People still prefer the Cat A models.

Sat in a private hire 2017 Altis yesterday, took the front seat  and the front seat feels narrower than the Elantra and K3, and the overall width is narrower too. Very plain plastic interior. Nothing to shout about.

1.6 NA Civic?

Nah...

Pros:

larger cabin

potentially better drive

Carplay

can negotiate for a no loan clause without a penalty 

 

Cons:

Lousy plastics

old engine, higher FC and emissions

Low slung, not suitable for older folks

only 2 airbags

less features in general

Pros:

Cruise control

Paddle Shift 

 

Cons:

Transmission tunnel bump at the back - regression from the 8th Gen

In Malaysia, there's Toyota Altis 1.8L and 2.0L version too.

 

My last Altis was an 1.8L but now BM didn't bring in the 1.8L version.  The SE told me that not many buyers go for 1.8L in SG.

People who want to buy Altis will mostly buy 1.6L because of our nonsensical Category A and B format. In larger countries such as USA they would laugh at the thought of a 1.6L NA sedan.
