Go back a few years.. say like, 3-4 years, when the Honda Civic was not born. The Toyota Corolla totally ruled the segment. Some said that no other car can get near it. Some said that Corolla is a home of luxury. Some said Corolla is a business mans car. Yes, probably the most respected petrol car in the below 15Lakh category. Then.. comes Honda with a plan, the same plan that had introduced the Honda Civic in the same category as the Toyota Corolla. The Corolla lost its image, the fame, the looks, everything. Everything taken away by the Civic. On September 5th, the all new Corolla, christened the Altis will aim at competing with the Civic in all ways. Lets wait and see if renaissance does the job.
The Corolla Altis is like a mini Camry. Amazing styling, a very sporty front and a contemporary rear. The bumper is crafted well and matches the car, giving it a low and sporty appearance. The Altis will be equipped with a 1.8L petrol engine that produces a 132bhp of power. The Corolla will be available both in a 4-speed automatic and 5-speed manual transmission.
