Corolla Altis Grande, the 11th generation Corolla, has been completely redesigned.
The shape and the aerodynamics provide greater agility and reduced air resistance. The new front and rear lamps provide an aesthetic appeal along with a sport type, Paddle gear shifting to enhance driving thrill are also provided. The lower stance reduces air drag, resulting in improved road grip and greater fuel economy and a softer suspension system ensuring a comfortable and smooth ride.
The interior has been designed with a view to offer a spacious cabin and a larger trunk area. The wheelbase has been expanded to provide maximum comfort and convenience. The seats have been redesigned to improve comfort and increased legroom, while the dual tone beige and black interior, leather trimmings along with chrome accents provide a feeling of grandeur and luxury.
In order to maximize the ride comfort and utility, several unique features have been introduced such as the auto adjustable drive seat, rear reclining seats, intelligent Android-based touch screen audio and steering switches to access the in-car entertainment system with convenience. The centre cluster, with all major controls is ergonomically placed to allow intuitive interaction.
