Mine is facelift 1.6l Elegance n at BM now for servicing. The guy told me dont hav TPMS built in.. 

that mean BM remove the function as it was available in 1.8L Thai and Malaysia Altis. We always get short change, no front LED fog lights and no TPMS. 😂
 

Will head down to BM further look at the spec and test drive it before deciding. If buy then will go outside to do additional 4 doors soundproofing. 

BM stop selling 1.8L Altis Hybrid?

Should be have if want to nitpick,

1. likely their rear passengers windows still not auto windows + the windows button not backlit at night. Only powered windows, still long press to go up/down. 

2. No walk away auto lock and front lights auto off after awhile, or during unlock front DRL also light up as welcome light.

3. Interior headroom light still yellowish, not full white LED light.

4. Rear car plate light not white LED light

5. Reverse light not white LED light

Hybrid or ICE?

Usually is 
1k - change engine oil  (FOC)
5k - inspection (FOC)
1k is important because change engine oil.  So best is to time at 1k or slightly before.  You can change the date based on usage.
5k may be good to pay to change engine oil. 

If send in early,  usually before 12 can collect. 

P.S.  Check with the SA. 

 

After changing the engine oil at 1000km/first mth, can really feel the diff in engine power sia (petrol still same Sinopec 95) when step on gas..

Suggest 5k change EO as well.  Engine need sometime to break-in.
Also,  every 5k use one bottle of Techron Concentrate. 

Will you be long term servicing with BM ?

The techron concentrate do u recommend to use 1 mth before EO change OR after EO change (assuming that 5k is just nice near to EO change servicing)?

5yrs free servicing means no need to pay anything for your servicing?

I think this Altis will be the last facelift design for this variant, the next version 2025/2026 will be brand new design like that US just like the Camry 9th gen XV80 that was introduced last year in US as our SG Camry still XV70.

Did BM stop selling the hybrid Altis even with latest facelift? Just nice April got Car at Expo at hall 5, will drop by and look at the Altis. Today then I know our Altis facelift have better spec than latest poor Honda Civic that was not seen much on SG roads.

By right altis usually will have a brand new model when the current model is around 5 years. But this current altis since launched in end 2019 until now, seems like they did not facelift much and many times. Unlike the last few generation of altis, they always facelift more than 1 time, like have different rims, interior and exterior design which really can see the difference.

Will BM participate in coming Car at Expo? Seldom see civic on the road could be due to the price for this car is too ex liao. No one will buy.
