<p>Toyota has confirmed a title partnership with Haas for the 2026 Formula 1 season, setting up a new chapter for the American outfit as it prepares for the next rules cycle. The team will race as the Toyota Gazoo Racing Haas F1 Team from 2026, with the rebranding tied to the sport’s upcoming regulation changes. Toyota is using this deal to expand its presence in Formula 1 and move beyond its current role. The agreement gives Toyota full team involvement for the first time in years. Both companies say the move is aimed at long-term participation as Formula 1 enters another phase of change. The collaboration lines up with the new regulations due in 2026 and includes deeper technical involvement from Toyota. Both sides expect closer work on engineering, car development, and track operations as they prepare for the shift in the rules.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/f1-2026-grid-every-driver-and-team-line-up-confirmed-122341/">F1 2026 Grid: Every Driver and Team Line-Up Confirmed</a></p><p>Ayao Komatsu, Team Principal of Haas F1 Team, said: 'It’s naturally a privilege to deepen our relationship with TGR through this new title partnership agreement. Our working relationship to-date has been everything we hoped it would be. It’s been evidenced through our successful TPC running this season but there’s been so much more going on behind the scenes too – including the development and installation of the simulator at our Banbury facility for 2026. The cultivation of personnel, all working collaboratively between Haas F1 Team and TGR, has benefited us greatly and that’s something that will only increase as our partnership matures. We’re excited to further grow with the likes of our driver program too, and it’s been encouraging to see the depth of talent TGR is backing in that process.</p><p>Haas will also revise the way it operates under the new partnership. The team will work more closely with Toyota on planning, development, and strategy. Haas plans to use Toyota’s motorsport experience and technical resources to strengthen its own structure. The rebranding reflects the start of this deeper cooperation.</p><p>

Seeing this transformation moved me deeply. And today, I can say this with confidence, Toyota has finally begun to move – really move. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Gene Haas and Ayao Komatsu for standing alongside our young members, believing in their potential, and facing the future with the same passion and perspective.</p><p>'By taking our partnership with Haas another step forward next year, TGR’s ‘People, Product, Pipeline’ mantra – will accelerate in a way we have never seen before. The time has come for the next generation to take their first steps toward the world stage. Together with Gene Haas, Ayao, and everyone at TGR Haas F1 Team, we will build both a culture and a team for the future.

Toyota India Posts 19% Year-on-Year Sales Growth in November

Toyota sold 30,085 units in the domestic market and 3,667 units overseas. It credited the strong performance to GST reforms and launches of the Urban Cruiser Hyryder Aero & Fortuner Leader Edition.

<p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/toyota/">Toyota</a> has issued a recall for 11,529 units of the Urban Cruiser Hyryder in India due to a defect in the fuel level indicator. The recall affects models produced between December 2024&nbsp;and April 2025. The problem affects only the gasoline models, which feature an analogue fuel gauge in the instrument cluster. In some situations,&nbsp;the gauge may fail to show the correct fuel level, meaning the low fuel warning light might not turn on even when the tank is nearly empty.&nbsp;This could leave drivers unaware of the fuel shortage, increasing the risk of the engine shutting down or stalling while on the road. Notably, Maruti Suzuki recently issued a similar recall for the Grand Vitara, which shares the same technical platform as the Hyryder.</p><p>Toyota will proactively contact owners of the affected<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/toyota/urban-cruiser-hyryder/"> Urban Cruiser Hyryder</a> units through its dealer and service network to carry out inspections and replace faulty parts at no cost, as part of the voluntary recall.

Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder Recalled in India for Fuel Indicator Defect; 10,000+ Units Affected

Toyota has issued a recall for 11,529 units of the Urban Cruiser Hyryder in India due to a defect in the fuel level indicator. The recall affects models produced between December 2024 and April 2025.

<p>
The Toyota Camry Hybrid continues to prove that sedans – particularly hybrids – still deserve a place in a world obsessed with SUVs. Now in its ninth generation, the new Camry offers a blend of modern design, greater efficiency, and a noticeably more engaging drive, while staying true to the trademark comfort that has long defined it.</p>

<p>The new design language gives it a sportier stance and features Toyota’s ‘hammerhead’ face with sharp LED headlights and a bold front grille. It’s sleek and purposeful, though perhaps a touch too aggressive for a luxury sedan. At 4,885mm, it’s longer than before. The 18-inch wheels add significantly to its overall presence. Inside, the warm tan leather upholstery and a clean horizontal dashboard layout lend it an elegant and calming ambience. The seats are plush, and the rear-seat comfort is genuinely limousine-like, with reclining functionality, powered curtains, and dedicated climate controls.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/videos/2025-toyota-camry-hybrid-first-drive-review-luxury-and-performance-with-25kmpl-india-autox-119395/">2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid | First Drive Review | Luxury and Performance with 25kmpl | India | autoX</a></p>

<p>Powering the new Camry is a 2.5-litre petrol engine paired with Toyota’s fifth-generation hybrid system. The lighter, more efficient lithium-ion battery contributes to a combined output of 227bhp and 221Nm.  On the move, the Camry feels smoother and more responsive than before, thanks to a stiffer suspension setup, which enhances stability at high speeds. The eCVT gearbox, however, remains its weak link – it’s seamless and efficient but lacks engagement.</p>

<p>On the short loop of the Buddh International Circuit, the Camry posted a 1:11.6 lap time – just a tenth of a second slower than the BMW X3 xDrive20d, which produces 188bhp and 400Nm from its 2.0-litre diesel. That’s an impressive feat for a comfort-oriented hybrid. The steering is light but precise, while the suspension is composed, ensuring excellent stability even when pushed to its limits.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/2025-camry-hybrid-first-drive-review-luxury-and-performance-with-25kmpl-119388/">2025 Camry Hybrid First Drive Review: Luxury and Performance with 25kmpl</a></p>

<p>The Camry Hybrid may have lost some of its X-factor, but it continues to excel in terms of quality, comfort, and refinement. A true all-rounder, it’s a perfect reminder that luxury and efficiency can still exist in perfect harmony.

Toyota Camry at autoX Awards: Best Cars of 2025 Ranked

The Toyota Camry feels smoother and more responsive on the move, with a stiffer suspension that improves stability at higher speeds.

<p>
Toyota proudly calls the LC300 the “King of SUVs” on its website and marketing material—and looking at the Land Cruiser’s legacy across decades and generations, it’s hard to disagree. If not the king, it certainly sits among the top-ranking SUVs in the world in terms of go-anywhere capability. The Land Cruiser has been in continuous production since 1951, making it Toyota’s longest-running product line. Across its nine generations, it has sold over 10 million units globally. The model is particularly popular in regions with harsh environment, such as Australia and Africa – regions where durability and dependability aren’t optional but essential.</p>

<p>In India, however, most owners don’t buy the Land Cruiser for serious off-roading. The occasional long road trip or a Leh-Ladakh expedition is likely the harshest terrain an LC will ever see here. But there are other qualities that make it so compelling. First, reliability – being a Toyota, the LC is known for being indestructible in a world where luxury cars often suffer from electronic issues due to overcomplexity. Second, practicality – basic things like effective air-conditioning, despite the vast glasshouse and sheer size, are genuinely appreciated, given India’s harsh climate.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/toyota-land-cruiser-300-globally-revealed-with-457bhp-hybrid-powertrain-121027/">Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Globally Revealed with 457bhp Hybrid Powertrain</a></p><p>Third, presence – whether it’s an older generation or the new LC300, its towering stance and massive grille command instant respect on the road. Even the Thar and Scorpio drivers tend to stay away from an LC on the road.</p>

<p>In the final scores, the LC300 turned out to be a bit of a mixed bag. As expected, it lost points on the lap time, but it scored highly in terms of quality, refinement, and drivetrain performance. Design proved somewhat polarising, but the LC’s X-Factor was through the roof – in fact, it received the highest score of all vehicles in that category.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/toyota-land-cruiser-300-bookings-commence-in-india-prices-start-at-rs-231-crore-119914/">Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Bookings Commence in India; Prices Start at Rs 2.31 Crore</a></p><p>Where it does lose ground is on value for money. Priced between ₹2.16 and ₹2.25 crore, it might seem justifiable for what it offers, but many buyers in that price bracket prefer a more premium badge. So, while the LC300 remains one of my personal favourites from this year’s lineup, a few factors inevitably pulled down its overall score.

Whether it’s an older generation or the new LC300, the Toyota SUV's towering stance and massive grille command instant respect on the road.

<p>Toyota has unveiled the ninth-generation Hilux for the global market, and the biggest news is the introduction of an electric powertrain for the first time. However, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/toyota/">Toyota</a> isn’t relying solely on electrification,&nbsp;realising that one solution doesn’t fit every market or buyer.

<p>Toyota is making headlines at the ongoing Japan Mobility Show with the debut of the new Corolla Concept. It is no secret that the Corolla has been one of the brand's most popular and best-selling nameplates, evolving over the years through hatchbacks, sedans, wagons, and coupes. </p><p>The new concept aims to carry that legacy forward with a shift in design philosophy. For now, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/toyota/">Toyota</a> has only shown the concept, and a production model is expected to arrive by late 2026 or early 2027. Let's take a closer look at the new Toyota Corolla Concept.</p><p><br></p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/10/Toyota-Corolla-Concept-side-1761721088131.webp" alt="Toyota Corolla Concept side.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
    <h2><strong>Toyota Corolla Concept: Design</strong></h2><p>The new concept marks a notable design upgrade over other Corollas. It takes design cues from Toyota’s bZ series and Prius, and offers a fresh and modern look to the nameplate. There's a full-width LED light bar at the front (divided into separate parts or sections in the centre),&nbsp;flanked by L-shaped LEDs.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/10/Toyota-Corolla-Concept-Rear-(1)-1761721070094.webp" alt="Toyota Corolla Concept Rear (1).jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
    <p>The bonnet has a sculpted design, and the front fenders are elevated, giving the concept a sportier vibe. Other prominent highlights include a coupe-like roof,&nbsp;traditional wing mirrors, cuts and creases on the side,&nbsp;alloy wheels, a ducktail spoiler, and a rear LED light bar.&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Toyota Corolla Concept: Interior and Powertrain</strong></h2><p><br></p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/10/Toyota-Corolla-Concept-Interior-1761726107346.webp" alt="Toyota Corolla Concept Interior.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto; vertical-align: top;"></p>
    <p>The concept looks&nbsp;both futuristic and practical from the inside.&nbsp;The digital cluster is mounted on the steering column, flanked by panels with touch-sensitive controls.&nbsp;There's no large infotainment screen,&nbsp;and the front passenger gets a dedicated display.&nbsp;Other details include a crystal-like gear selector and a three-spoke steering wheel.</p><p><strong>Also Read:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/toyota-camry-gt-s-concept-debuts-ahead-of-2025-sema-show-122018/">Toyota Camry GT-S Concept Debuts Ahead of 2025 SEMA Show</a></p><p>Toyota has not disclosed details about the powertrain. However, the concept's some features, including a small flap on the front fender, hint that it’s likely an electric car.</p><h2><strong>Other Highlights</strong></h2><p>Toyota has reimagined the Century, positioning it as a standalone luxury brand aimed at competing with <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/rolls-royce/">Rolls-Royce</a> and <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/bentley/">Bentley</a>. Alongside the Corolla Concept, the Japanese brand unveiled&nbsp;the Century Coupe Concept, featuring striking design elements such as an elongated bonnet, vented top, body-coloured grille, asymmetrical doors,&nbsp;a sweeping roofline, massive multi-spoke alloy wheels, and the phoenix emblem, and bold 'Century' lettering at the rear.&nbsp;</p><p>Inside, the four-seat cabin features a lounge-style passenger area, a translucent driver partition, and an aircraft-inspired yoke steering wheel surrounded by three integrated screens.

Toyota Corolla Concept Unveiled at 2025 Japan Mobility Show

Toyota has unveiled the new Corolla Concept at the ongoing Japan Mobility Show, following a series of teasers shared earlier. The concept looks sharp and sleek, borrowing several design cues from the brand’s bZ series.

<p>The  Camry has been in production globally since 1982, evolving through multiple generations over the years. While the sedan has received performance-focused versions throughout its history, Toyota has recently unveiled the new Camry GT-S, a sportier concept based on the new-generation model. Set to debut at the 2025 SEMA Show&nbsp;in Las Vegas, the Camry GT-S stands out with upgraded suspension, aero parts, and an eye-catching paint job. </p><p>However, on the mechanical front, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/toyota/">Toyota</a> has kept things the same, with the 2.5-litre four-cylinder hybrid powertrain.&nbsp;The Camry GT-S is expected to remain a one-off to engage enthusiasts across the world at the SEMA show. There’s no official word on its production as of yet. In India, the ninth-generation Camry continues to be offered, with prices starting at Rs 47.48 lakh.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/10/Toyota-Camry-Camry-GT-S-Concept-Side-1761546798554.webp" alt="Toyota Camry Camry GT-S Concept Side.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p><br></p><h2><strong>Toyota Camry GT-S Concept: What’s Different?</strong></h2>
    <p>The Camry GT-S comes dressed in a unique Inferno Flare orange paintwork, complemented by black finishes on key areas like the hood, roof, wheels, and aerodynamic components, all of which highlight its&nbsp;sporty, performance-oriented appearance. It gets a sportier body kit with a contrast front bumper lip, side skirts branded with GT-S logos, a rear diffuser, and a boot lip spoiler. The concept rides on 20-inch black wheels and has orange brake callipers.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/century-toyotas-new-ultra-luxury-brand-above-lexus-explained-122005/">Century: Toyota’s New Ultra-Luxury Brand Above Lexus, Explained</a></p><p>The Camry GT-S sits 38 mm lower than the standard model thanks to its upgraded suspension, while its stopping power is enhanced by high-performance brakes: 365mm front discs with eight-piston callipers and 356mm rear discs with six-piston callipers.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/10/Toyota-Camry-Camry-GT-S-Concept-Rear-1761546801894.webp" alt="Toyota Camry Camry GT-S Concept Rear.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>As mentioned, the 2.5-litre hybrid is the same; however, an aftermarket performance exhaust adds a more aggressive growl. As far as the interior is concerned, there are no changes.&nbsp;</p>
    <p>Kevin Hunter, executive design director, Toyota North America, said, ‘The Camry GT-S concept is an exciting study with aspirations that are born from the racetrack.’ He further added, ‘As the high-performance hero of the Camry lineup, it exemplifies Toyota’s dedication to delighting customers&nbsp;with a bold and exciting driving experience. Our goal was to imagine the next evolution of Camry XSE through aggressive front, side, and rear enhancements that reinforce Camry’s unique position in the world of sport sedans.’</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/toyota-land-cruiser-fj-revealed-overseas-with-a-27-litre-petrol-engine-and-4wd-system-121997/">Toyota Land Cruiser FJ Revealed Overseas with a 2.7-litre Petrol Engine and 4WD System</a></p><p>Adam Rabinowitz, Chief Designer, Toyota CALTY Design Research, said, ‘The Camry GT-S Concept is more than just a SEMA one-off —it’s a study in what a performance and style package could mean for Camry in the future. Our goal was to create something aspirational yet attainable, and to use this platform to gather valuable feedback from consumers.’</p>

Toyota Camry GT-S Concept Debuts Ahead of 2025 SEMA Show

Set to debut at the 2025 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the Toyota Camry GT-S stands out with upgraded suspension and an eye-catching paint job. However, it continues to source power from the familiar 2.5-litre four-cylinder hybrid engine. 

<p>Toyota has announced the creation of a new ultra-luxury brand positioned above its existing Lexus lineup, signalling a shift in its global strategy. The move, revealed ahead of the Japan Mobility Show in late October, will focus on the Century nameplate, Toyota’s flagship model. Introduced in 1967, the Century has long symbolised Japanese craftsmanship and tradition, often used by senior government officials and the Imperial Household. By establishing Century as a standalone marque, Toyota plans to take what was once a domestic symbol of status and transform it into a global name competing with established luxury manufacturers such as <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/rolls-royce/">Rolls-Royce</a> and <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/bentley/">Bentley</a>. The approach aims to strengthen Toyota’s position in the top-tier luxury market while redefining its brand structure.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/maruti-suzuki-jimny-5-door-hits-1-lakh-unit-exports-milestone-122003/">Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5-Door Hits 1 Lakh Unit Exports Milestone</a></p><p>The Century has always represented a reserved form of luxury, built with attention to detail rather than visual showmanship. Produced in limited volumes, it has maintained exclusivity within Japan for decades. <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/toyota/">Toyota</a> now intends to retain that reputation while expanding the Century’s profile for international markets. The goal is to establish a global identity distinct from both Lexus and Toyota’s mainstream models, presenting Century as a new expression of traditional craftsmanship aligned with modern market expectations.</p><p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/lexus/">Lexus</a> will continue focusing on technology and performance, while Century will stand as the top offering within Toyota’s portfolio. This approach allows both brands to operate independently while targeting different customer bases, with Lexus pursuing innovation and Century focusing on custom-built exclusivity.</p><p>

The vehicle highlights materials and details chosen for craftsmanship rather than display. Toyota plans to introduce hybrid powertrains for upcoming models, integrating its environmental goals with modern luxury standards. </p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/toyota-century-suv-lexus-ls-mpv-concepts-teased-ahead-of-2025-japan-mobility-show-121942/">Toyota Century SUV, Lexus LS MPV Concepts Teased Ahead of 2025 Japan Mobility Show</a></p><p>Toyota’s decision to enter the ultra-luxury segment reflects a wider industry trend where long-established manufacturers aim to expand upward into higher price segments. By making Century an independent brand, Toyota seeks to compete directly with global luxury names while maintaining a unique cultural identity. With expansion plans that include regions like China, Toyota aims to position Century as an international luxury marque rooted in Japanese heritage and consistent quality.</p>

Century: Toyota’s New Ultra-Luxury Brand Above Lexus, Explained

Toyota’s Century becomes a standalone ultra-luxury brand above Lexus, set to compete globally with Rolls-Royce and Bentley, featuring hybrid powertrains.

<p><em>Toyota introduces the 11th generation of its bestseller, the Toyota Corolla Altis, in India. So, we get into the driver’s seat to see how it stacks up against some renewed competition. </em></p>

<p>It would be an understatement to say that the <em>Toyota Corolla Altis</em>&nbsp;is one of the most significant products for Toyota. Here are some numbers to put in perspective – the Corolla Altis, since its introduction nearly 50 years ago in 1966, has sold over 40 million units in 154 countries across the world.</p>

<p>So, clearly, the launch of its 11th generation is a big deal for the company. After all, given the car’s history, it has a reputation to maintain. Of course, with every subsequent generation, the market gets tougher – the competition has been steadily improving, and it’s a dog-eat-dog world when it comes to sales.</p>

<p>However, with stereotypical Japanese efficiency and insight, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/toyota/">Toyota</a> has done a large amount of research to understand what it is that customers want from the Corolla Altis – and how it can be improved to suit their needs. So, in this latest generation, we witness some specific changes to meet the demands of Indian customers – such as more room in the rear seat, thanks to a wheelbase that’s been extended by 100mm. There are more features of course, and improved styling. Evidently, these requirements were specifically demanded by Indian customers – and given that most customers of the Altis in India are chauffeur driven, that makes a lot of sense.</p>

<p><img alt="Toyota Corolla Altis Side Profile" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-26891" src="/uploads/2014/05/driven-toyota-corolla-altis-june-2014-pic4.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 375px;" title="Toyota Corolla Altis" /></p>

<p>Looking at the new <em>Toyota Corolla Altis</em>, the aspect that catches one’s attention is the revised styling – which is, to put it mildly, a vast improvement over the last generation. The Corolla Altis&nbsp;is now a car that has tauter lines and sleeker body panels. A noticeable character line dominates the sides, and it has a far more aggressive front end. Gone are the bulbous and slightly chubby looks of the older car. The new car looks much more purposeful on the road, and has enough road presence to make it stand out. The Camry-esque rear end and the front end with its large headlights and shiny grille also contribute to this change. However, even with the 16-inch wheels of our test car, there was still too much space in the wheel wells – which give it an odd, elevated stance. This is necessary, though, given the increased ground clearance that cars require in our market. That apart, it’s safe to say that the new <em>Toyota Corolla Altis</em>&nbsp;is far improved over its predecessor in terms of style. Let’s just say that the Toyota designers have certainly done their jobs.</p>

<p>The interiors have been given a thorough reworking as well, and the design inside also gets a boost – especially thanks to the removal of the many buttons on the centre console, which have been replaced by a touchscreen entertainment system. The clutter free centre console now only has a lower set of controls for the ventilation system, while the 7-inch touchscreen controls functions such as satellite navigation, audio controls, and Bluetooth phone connectivity. Overall, the two-tone dash is also an improvement – providing a cleaner, more subtle design. However, certain aspects of the interior are a tad disappointing. The chrome outline around the touchscreen, for instance, looks gaudy and unnecessary, as does the faux carbon fibre around the screen. Given that the quality levels for the rest of the interior are pretty good, it would’ve been more appropriate for Toyota to just stick to a piano black finish.</p>

<p><img alt="Toyota Corolla Altis Front View" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-26884" src="/uploads/2014/05/driven-toyota-corolla-altis-june-2014-pic11.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 375px;" title="Toyota Corolla Altis Review" /></p>

<p>Interiors quirks aside, when it comes to passenger space, the Corolla Altis&nbsp;does exhibit a clear advantage over its rivals. The rear seat in particular is very impressive, with the wheelbase extension clearly helping matters – making this easily the most spacious car in its segment. The seat is quite comfortable as well, and the flat floor also helps matters. This clearly demonstrates that Toyota understands the requirement of Indian consumers, and has catered to them specifically.</p>

<p>It also seems to understand that most customers in India, at least, won’t actually get behind the wheel themselves – so the driving experience isn’t exactly thrilling. Sure, there’s nothing that you can point out as being inadequate – but the Corolla Altis&nbsp;doesn’t set out to make the driving experience a memorable one. This is especially true for the diesel variant, which is powered by the 1.4 litre diesel unit. It produces only 87bhp, and is clearly tuned for efficiency rather than driving pleasure. Plus, the noticeable turbo lag doesn’t help matters. It has a narrow power band, which kicks in above 2,000rpm – but, at the same time, it doesn’t particularly like to be revved much either.</p>

<p>The 1.8 litre petrol, on the other hand, is much better and delivers vastly better performance. Of course, it’s helped by a much higher power figure of 138bhp. The petrol engine is quite refined, and even though we got to sample it only with the 7-speed CVT transmission, it has more than adequate performance for daily driving. The auto gearbox too was quite impressive, with the steering mounted paddles delivering quick up and down shifts. And while the typical rubber band effect of CVT transmission remains, it’s not an irritation at all.</p>

<p><img alt="Toyota Corolla Altis Rear View" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-26879" src="/uploads/2014/05/driven-toyota-corolla-altis-june-2014-pic16.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 375px;" title="Toyota Corolla Altis" /></p>

<p>Of course, in keeping with the character of the car, the suspension has been tuned for comfort – and it does rather well on that front. The car handles even broken surfaces without a problem, and the 180mm of ground clearance means that you don’t have to worry about it bottoming out either. Since it is softly sprung, however, it does have a fair bit of body roll and the <a href="https://www.autox.com/electric-cars-in-india/">electric</a> steering doesn’t provide much feel. So, while this may not be the most sporting car to pilot, it does deliver driving comfort in spades – which is, of course, what it’s been designed to do.</p>

<p>Overall, the Corolla Altis is a very capable car – one that appears engineered specifically to cater to a certain target audience who demand style and comfort.</p>

<p>So, with its vastly improved looks, higher equipment levels, and more space, it’ll appeal massively to the backseat driver – who also get the blue-chip quality of the Toyota brand, with its excellent sales and service.</p>

<p>So, if you appreciate a car for its driving dynamics, you’ll have to look elsewhere. But if you prefer occupying the rear seat and letting your chauffeur deal with todays’ frustrating traffic, the new <em>Toyota Corolla Altis</em>&nbsp;is is exactly what you need – even in its diesel-engined guise.</p>
