The 12th-generation Toyota Corolla is already quite a sporty-looking sedan in our opinion, but others treat it like a blank canvas to take things up a notch. That’s what Terstudio, a notable aftermarket bodykit manufacturer based in Thailand, has done with the Drive 68 package.
You might remember these guys, who had just recently announced the Drive 68 bodykit for the 2020 Nissan Almera. For the Corolla Altis, the treatment is pretty much the same – customers can purchase the four-piece bodykit (front lip, side skirts, and rear lip) for 17,500 baht (RM2,320), and the price includes painting as well.
The front lip has been deliberately designed to amplify aggression with lots of fake vents, while the rear gets a chunky lip with integrated “quad exhaust tips” and a diffuser. Any add-ons, such as the spoiler and alloy wheel upgrades, are extras.
In Thailand, there is also the Corolla Altis GR Sport variant that made its debut at the Thai Motor Expo late last year, which also gets a full bodykit, new grille insert, and 17-inch fan-style dual-tone alloy wheels.
To recap, the latest Corolla Altis is powered by the familiar 2ZR-FE 1.8 litre four-cylinder petrol engine with Dual VVT-i. The naturally-aspirated mill makes 139 PS at 6,400 rpm and 173 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm, with drive going to the front wheels via a Shiftmatic CVT with seven virtual speeds. The powertrain also comes with two driver-selectable drive modes – Sport and Eco.
It’s underpinned by the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) GA-C platform, and compared to the older model, it measures 4,630 mm long (+10 mm), 1,780 mm wide (+5 mm) and 1,435 mm tall (-45 mm); the wheelbase remains identical to the 11th-generation car at 2,700 mm. So, what do you think of Terstudio’s Drive 68 bodykit?
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Toyota makes sleek and good-looking design cars, this is why the Game-Changing Toyota Corolla is one of the best selling car in the world. You go overseas, you will see many Corollas in every countries you go. So I hope Proton can learn from Toyota how to make a good sedan and revive the Game Over Preve
You mean they are used as Taxis right? Yea, I agree, lots of them in Thailand
Looks aggressive, but no go at all unfortunately. Unker in sleeper cars will easily smoke this agrressive” corolla.
Corolla drivers syoik-sendiri then become malu- sendiri.

All they need to do is change the headunit (at least for Malaysian market) which is the deal breaker. *Sigh*
Because, Malaysia head-unit is hideous. Double bezel; there is a bezel inside a bezel. Go find & compare oversea vs Malaysian.
This altis with Drive68 bodykit is all looks but no go. anytime my civic 1.5 turbo can outrun this altis. i can even let it accelerate 2 cars ahead and my civic turbo will eventually catch up with ease. looks are cheap but performance is the most expensive part.
Yalor, civic really looks cheap and the performance parts are expensive… u just give yourself 2 tight slaps, haaaa
it means you pay for civic and it is a better price compare to the money you pay for altis. read properly next time.
Don’t think so. Civic is very expensive to buy and to maintain the service unlike for Altis
The fake exhaust tip make the whole car looks cheapo.
perfect n stunning. toyota all the way
If hybrid corolla comes heree, suits more interest to all.
Anyone knows what are the rims (brand and model) on the Altis in the 1st two photos? Deeply appreciate if anyone can provide a clue to these rims. Thank you very much.
