Toyota unveils refreshed Corolla Altis

The 2017 Corolla is coming up with aesthetic improvements along with new features. Its Indian launch is expected to take place next year.

Toyota officially revealed the mid-life update of the Corolla Altis in Russia. The changes are mostly aesthetic and follow Toyota's 'Under Priority and Keen Look' design philoshophy. The front fascia is completely reworked, and now houses new LED headlamps, a redesigned grille and a refreshed bumper.

The side and rear profiles have mostly stayed intact, save a few bits. The door handles have received a new chrome trim finish. The car now comes with a choice of new 16-inch and 17-inch alloys. The rear profile gets new LED tail lamp clusters and a new, sleeker chrome garnish which further emphasises the vehicle's width.

The interior has also stayed the same including the steering wheel and the layout. However, there are a few subtle changes such as the upgraded instrument cluster and the new MID screen -- which looks similar to the one in the new Innova Crysta and the upcoming Toyota Fortuner. The new infotainment system has also been borrowed from the Innova Crysta and will probably have similar features. The climate control unit has been updated.

Mechanically, it is most likely to carry forward the same 1.8-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, along with the 1.4-litre turbo diesel. The automaker has remained mum as far as the engine is concerned.

The car is expected to go on sale this year globally, while its Indian debut is expected in 2017.
