UMW Toyota Motor confirmed prices for the 2014 Toyota Corolla Altis ahead of the car’s local launch yesterday. Now we have an ad for the new Altis on our sister classifieds site oto.my, showing some live pics of the Malaysian-spec car.
Pictured above is a high-spec Corolla Altis 2.0 V in Grey Metallic. Besides the 2.0 V badge on the boot, the V is distinguished by those fancy looking 17-inch alloy wheels, wrapped with 215/45 Michelin rubber. Lesser variants wearing 16-inch wheels can be seen on the trailer pic below.
The 2.0 V can be had with an “Additional Safety Package” that increases the airbag count to seven (front, side, curtain, driver’s knee) and adds on a passenger seat belt warning indicator.
The Altis range starts with the 1.8 E at RM114k to RM123k for the 2.0 G. The 2.0 V pictured will set you back RM136k, before an “Additional Safety Package” pushes the sticker to RM139,900. Prices are individual, OTR with insurance for Peninsular Malaysia. See specs, equipment and more details here.
ASEAN’s Corolla Altis looks similar to the European Toyota Corolla, which is made in Turkey. North America gets a sportier-looking Corolla with different front and rear-end designs. Inside, both versions are largely similar, with just slight variations. Not long now before the official launch.
16k additional for Additional safety package!!!.. hmm… Ok. like the motto “moving forward”..seem they also moving forward for safety feature..TQ UMW ..TQ TOYOTA
more like moving CASH forward into Toyota’s own pocket.
for such price tag, sorry lah Toyota, i am happy with my Ford Focus.
Good job Toyota! Nice car!
Ford Focus is a no RV car and most importantly your Fokus is not reliable.You should change to Altis when it is launched.
ya, very reliable, during eksiden, ur head and body inside car, leg and arm outside car, so reliable…
And the price is also moving FAR forward..until overpriced.
TQ UMW…TQ TOYOTA
Ptuihhh
i like the camera angle of the first picture..
Hear it from me, Sam Loo, Toyota’s No 1 salesman in Malaysia, Toyota is nothing but a conjob. Why must you pay extra for safety? In the US, this car is US$12,000 (after discounts) and yet it comes with more than 6 airbags and VSC. For years I kutuk kimchi. For years I kutuk K5 owners. Maybe I am wrong. Better to have lower RV but have your arms and legs intact. No point have good RV but you become cacat or vegetable in an accident that VSC could have prevented.
How did you arrive at the number 16K for the safety package ? It clearly stated that the 2.0 V spec is 136K BASE. Add on the safety package bump the cost up to 139,900. That 3,900, wouldn’t it ?
Buy la.. you can save a lot on medical insurance.
(because accident confirm die)
1) No VSC (only for V model which cost you Rm137K)
2) 2 Airbags only
3) No active head rest to prevent whiplash
For this price of RM137, plus little bit more and get Honda accord.
Can’t believe there are fools who compromise safety for money (resale value)
Hideous looking thing!!
Sam Loo mesti angkat satu punya
absolutely hideous. the orcs are prettier.
I only trade used Hyundai.
it’s so cheap looking car!
i want the RM30k like u said last time!
Sam bdh loo continue to talk bodoh in year 2014. Well done Sam bdh Loo, please keep it up, lets us see you bodohying for your whole life ! bravo !
hyundai no RV right..?
ok.. sell me the Hyundai Tucson 2.0 High Spec. RM5000 only. no resale value right..? i pay Rm5000 enough already.
Holy shit look at the multi-info display. That must be the ugliest MFD I’ve seen in a > rm100k car
140k for this 7 airbags junk? LOL.. cerato 2.0 is only 119k meh..
LOL Cerato at 119K, Korean trash.
Looks good but way overpriced!
140k for an altis?? Only a blinded toyota hard core will get it. I can get a VW for that price, bigger, faster, safer. Or i can get a Ford Focus with 20k savings and it’s faster, safer and looks better.
Agreed on the good looks of the Altis but the price is as expected from UMW Toyota. They should have sold the Altis with 7 airbags as the 2.0V @ RM136k and not charging customers more for additional safety. Shame on you Toyota!
UMW not toyota.
always remember UMW means PNB and PNB means the government.
Actually, why pay RM140k for a Corolla when you can have a 1 year old Cerato at below RM40k?
Sam,
Really so cheap meh? I give you RM40K, you buy one 2nd hand one for me…. nice nice one k…. 1 year old ya….
I pay cash if you can get me a 1 YR OLD Cerato for 40k. Show me the car!!!!
So many costly flying coffin around nowdays.
Dont believe a junior sales man. Sales is bad for them…talk coxk number 1 only.
Not a bad looking ……please change the dashboard looks like the 70s show
but…but….the target buyers are old uncles and aunties, not poor young man like you.
Less than 4k! 5 airbags cost less than 4k!!! If it is such a cheap feature, why don’t all cars have it? On all specs? At least as an option?!
At least they add the option. Hopefully many will take it (if they buy an Altis), and those who want lower spec ones demand it.
17″ rims are a bit stupid though, the ride will probably be bad.
Sendiri tanya, sendiri jawab. Are you OK kah sudah makan ubat?
Belum makan, patutlah saya butthurt merapu merepek meraban
Such a pity that UMW really rips people off. It actually looks OK (decent, not gorgeous, just decent) on the outside.
But come one. 3.6k for 5 extra airbags? Come on UMW, are you that stingy.
Imagine, by including the 5 extra airbags, and sacrificing 3.6k from the amazing profit made over each unit, how many lives can be saved, and those people would be able to get another new Toyota.
Moving backward sadly.
So expensive, now safety features are optional. LOL…
Is the standard wheels is like in the first pic?
Ugh i like american front grille better
u mean without the additional safety package u get only 2 airbags????????
additional only for vsc & etc.. Toyota don’t know where to install another airbag in their model.
Why the American gets the better looking version?
Cause they ain’t third (turd) world boy!
Let the bashing begins! Umw has made many enemies Nowadays.
The real picture suddenly look not so nice instead of the non-real picture. Then again, greedy UMW on additional price for additional airbags.
Bloood sucking price.
Fugley cars are coming!!
My eyes, arrrgghhhh!!!!!!!!!
But still better than the no RV car like Cilaka and Elantra.
No avatar means imposter
The difference between the Langkawi and Peninsular
Malaysia price is great.
how about compare the price with east m’sia ?
Very beautiful. I mean the trailer.
I saw ugly Etios!!
The Toyota etios will be rebadge by perodua to become new perodua next sedan car.
Yawn…but a good utensil which wont breakdown…zzzz
K5 owners shivering now
oh, thats because the aircond in K5 is too good, unlike those on Altis or Vios, swtich to max level but no difference.
Actually, the air con on the Altis and RAV4 is a different unit. I drive at 28 degrees all the time and it’s bloody cold. The Camry and the Vios are using the standard air cons.
Has it not occured to you that it may have a faulty thermostat?
Toyota parts now are worse than proton.
It’s not as reliable as before. Furthermore want to use BMW engine, Toyota and BMW are a very nice couple. Both will be Banyak Masuk Worksyop, LOL
why must k5 shiver? a k5 can rape this altis anytime till it cannot start.
i think he meant toyo salesman shivering now.
how they going to sell this kosong car at this exhorbit price now?
i think they have to wait for 1 year no sales and wait for UMW give free VSC upgrade, just like Camry :)
No use that Kia will launch the Hailat K5 soon.Kia saleman and fanboy will be shivering as many will buy Camry,new Accord and upcoming new Teana.These Japs will totally rape the new K5 until die.
Believe me, as a K5 owner, I have wet my pants before in my car after caller a used car dealer telling me that they do not accept trade in for K5 anymore.
Asked me to leave the car at the yard instead
What happens when Korean car owners hailat? They wet their pants
Yes when the new Teana launch kia salesman and fanboy will totally wet their pants.
You dun wanna talk RV because you have bought a car with no RV or cannot even be traded in
Wow I smell many dupes here. Come on where is your die hard fans? You now only talk to yourself! That’s pathetic.
I think it’s another way around.K5 has an bigger boot,interior space,8 speakers,cornering lights,6 speed auto,8 way electric seats,better design, ABS, EBD, TCS, brake assist and hill-start assist control,better looking and fully equip with stuff steering,nothing could have been better than the K5.Corolla?Not even a 100 miles.Except Sam Loo ,the greatest-insulting-kimchi-owners A.K.A 70% people hate him and 30% of them are blind dont want his arms and legs,potong your arms and legs before u crashed by the car.
END.
k5 n altis diff segment la bro…
Did you guys realize that the front (logo and grill part) is very OUTSTANDING (Bulge)…
Or is camera angle problem?
Nah, I think its more on camera angle..but can’t help imagine if got hit a pedestrian directly in the ass…
it is
It looks like crotch part with undies, big bulge means the driver has very big package inside.
Yuck!
omg look at the nose from the side view ! its so long ! omg omg its really ugly
Which variant got rear vent aircond? or totally dont have?
Front like mitsubishi gallant.Side like forte.At the back like latest accord…interior as usual toyota never impress me at all..overall its a fugly car after latest fugly vios follower. .
lol.. smart move toyota. want safety? pay more..lor. 7airbags + passenger seatbelt reminder is very very luxury. 1st in toyota..LOL
good one. Toyota moving (you) forward (to the afterlife)
Don’t like the specs. Wait for the facelift after 2 to 3 years. That time, sure Toyota will put dual VVTi-L engine, VSC, park assist, lane assist, blind spot warning, 12 airbags, ventilated and memory seat, 9 speed tiptronics and all the what nots to regain market share. They did this with the existing altis and new camli so this one ain’t gonna be any different.
Some of the points you mentioned about was already in, even the previous gen Altis. Another blind reader. Last time 2 air bags not enough, now 7 air bags also not enough and ask for 12?? Air bad is not everything!
Right bro. I’m just exagerating. I am an Altis owner for 8 yrs and probably for another 8 years. Back in 2005, the Altis was the logical choice. Its only competitor was the Civic. Now with so many offerings at more reasonable price from other makes, the Altis seems to lose its competitive edge. Ownership experience has been pleasant for me even though my Altis drives like a shopping trolley.
Altis was ugly, and when new one is coming out, unfortunately it’s still ugly!
Toyota should hire world class designer. Learn from Koreans or Toyota has to sack all the uncreative designers.
You wish. Malaysians will keep worshipping the brand.
Enlarge your own airbag
The interior look so plastic,maybe just in my opinion. The exterior looks quite good.
Better buy cerato 2.0 rather than this overprice altis, at least had a lot of gadjet and nice to drive with pleasure. Ok samo looo
Yes go ahead with your Celaka car and I will laugh at you for your stupidity.
Agreed. The 1 year old Cerato will be about the same price as the brand new 2.0 Altis, minus RM100k
Cerato has much value for money than this underspecced Altis.
Bbbbbbboooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
Crazy price. 2.0V RM 136k better add 3k get a D-segment Honda accord which is more comfortable/stable and more space. Both same with 2 airbags and VSC…
Cerato 2.0 @ 118K
408 Turbo @ 129K
Even the K5@143K and Tin Kosong Accord 2.0 base seem like a better preposition.
Accord = Uncle
Altis/Vios = Ah Beng. Ah Beng likes to look like Ah Beng. So more Bengs will buy Altis to reinforce their Ah Bengness!
K5 and Celaka are great if bought pre-owned 1 year later.
The bad news is that eventhough both costs RM20k apart new, when pre-owned, both will be trading around RM30k
In your dreams’
nice to see, nice to touch, once owned, consider broken (the owner).
Yeap, the basic Accord 2.0 is a better value for money.
Most importantly, its a Jap and it can be traded in
Price may be expensive.
but, I get the best Quality Car – Toyota.
Maybe I will buy Lexus CT200h, full feature hybrid + luxury.
else. Altis.
front nose of new Toyota Corolla Altis is long and sharp
one word PRICEY
More looks than its safety
Why so many hate proton and accuse them of destroying local car price? Why not hate umw which is clearly setting a new level of car prices here for c and d segment? Not to forget new level of kosong cars.
Really should hate this company to the guts. Robbing the blind followers broke.
Wow.. Spec sheets shows It got Power Steering and Power windows. What a revolution in 2014!!!
Wow, what a heavy debate.
I wished I had bought a Vios instead of a K5.
With a Vios, I can easily change a new car every 2 years, with a trade in value of roughly 70%.
For the K5, I lose the 1st digit of the purchase price (RM100k), at least within a year
Is it just mee or the new model looks so average in the real world compared to those gorgeous photos in the promotional releases??
yucks! my current altis looks way better than this
As long as it is a Sushi,it will have RV.
No avatar means imposter
Good move by adding your avatar. It’s easier for me to skip all your rubbish comments.
look cheap like the first gen kia forte, no premium feel at all somemore got to pay that much? stay away!
“My my what a big and prominent nose you have,” said red riding hood to Granny corolla altis
” big nose? It is so I can knock you up and down silly,” replied granny corolla Altis
” my my what a big flat arse you have” said red riding hood.
Red riding cried when Granny Corolla Altis replied to her, ” laugh all you want but be foretold— when you grow up, you will have the same flat arse like mine coz it runs in the family!!!,”
My goodness. 7 air-bags, Traction Control, ESC, ABS, and EBD should be fitted as standard equipments in the modern day cars. This is such a rip-off. Malaysian really are moving backwards (instead of moving forward). Instead of safety first, Malaysian are looking for more shiny alloy wheels, in-car entertainment etc.
all these malaysians no money to buy toyota keep cursing that it is ugly, over price, not safe and all those nonsense. If you all got money, RM139K is nothing la… only those who hope to own it but their hopes are dashed will continue to complain.
Stop complaining la, UMW no need your money. You think you keep complaining UMW will care? You are not their target market.
Actually, those that are smart at managing money looks at TCO.
It may be expensive upfront, but you get a durable and reliable car, with only minimal service intervals, low spare parts cost, long replacement cycle for wear and tear parts.
These will add up to consumer confidence and hence, good resale value
Cheap service my Ass. U come here I show u 40k/80k mileage service with aircond service. Can reach 1k.labour cost is a bomb.
U still living in 19th century izzit? Now all cars service interval minimal 10k.
Stop spreading ur salesman speech. I own a 2009 Altis and keep all my service receipts.
I dono why people who can afford an Altis complains of expensive maintenance. Yes, toyota service center charges more for service, but i feel that the quality is better. I own previous altis dual vvti, for me its comfortable n reliable. I hv no regret buying this car especially with all the traffic jam in town. Stop complaining about the price. everyone has a choice in buying cheaper car.
TCO?
Altis
2014 : 123k (2 Airbags)
2019 : 70k
Lost 53k
Preve
2014 : 73k (6 Airbags)
2019 ” 35k
Lost 38k
Not to mention proton spare parts and service costs are way cheaper than Toyota.
It is beyond obvious that you do not own a Toyota.
Camry 40,000kms service is RM565.40. Fully synthetic oil change. This is for ACV40 2.4V
How can a Corolla Altis 40,000kms cost more than that?
That is without a cond service and labor. Shut ur gap as I am a toyota Merit member. I own more toyota than u. U just sell and spew rv crap as everybody here know. U are so full of crap that there is a video made to humour readers.
This is with A/C Service and Labour.
The A/C service is just changing the cabin air filter.
It was done at the TSC just off Jalan Templer parallel to the Federal Highway.
You must be dreaming of a Toyota, but in reality, you are driving a kimchi. Thats why they have no RV
It’s so overpriced
Funny thing is that the yen has devalued so much against the USD, Jap cars should be cheaper.
Then again, so has the Ringgit
No Avatar means fake fella
this car is only used as a cab in dubai.. crazy price in boleh land!
Only in Malaysia.Toyota Corolla Altis in Taiwan just a Taxi…When Malaysia people think Camry is luxury car,In China and US just a kereta biasa and KFC standard.
USD42k…for a corolla. Only can be found on this part of the world where magic is part of the business strategy
Mercedes are also used as metered cabs in Germany
But that in Germany, Thai is 3rd world country. Poor Altis as taxis.
If Thailand is a 3rd world country using Toyotas as Taxi, then for Bolehland, we can be called underdeveloped country, because we use sub-standard Protons as Taxis.
And Proton has finally admitted that the cars the produced since 1985 are sub-standard
For The Toyota Corolla Altis I think should be put 4 airbag,VSC and TRC as standard.In 2.0G must be 7 airbag,VSC and TRC. Another problem is if CKD price too expandsive,i think you better bring CBU because like as the Prius C Safely is good. UMW,Please bring the Toyota Car with Euro 5 Star standard in Malaysia to protect your customer live.
the launching of this car is joke of the year 2014
dont buy this,if we have a better government the car will only cost rm66000 OTR.arab saudi can,why cant we.
I laugh ppl are still buying the new Camry, Almera, vios and civic, now this altis. Terrible design (tis altis looks good though) with even worse specs, and handling. All funky. Attractive to ah bengs. Then these ahbengs if can afford will buy wish and alphard, thinking these are the best luxurious cars in the world. But it’s a coffin carrier. This altis, with the price quoted, not even worth it. Go buy a pug 408 turbo or N.A 2.0 and see the difference. Or even other Korean makes. Save the balance for servicing etc and to recoup on the lost resale value. It’s actually the same.
I smile when people buy Sonata and Elantra
I know that more than 50% will sell within a year, at around 50% of purchase price, and I can sell it off at at least 70%.
This is called smart business
Uninspiring and weird looking also. Toyota gotta change its engineers. For decades, the Toyota marque has actually moved backwards vs. the competition.
Ugly looking alien car….i will take the KIA K3/K5 anyday. Better specs, better price and way sexier!!!
Olny poorfags with no money buy this fugly car because it has better RV and he need to sell it off because cannot afford to pay installment anymore!
Consider a K3 or Elantra that is 1 year old.
K3 (if it can be traded in) should be RM30k and elantra at RM45k
Great value for money for the smart buyer
If RM110, 118 and 125k is just reasonable although it is still considered expensive in Malaysia!
I love this car….looks like Honda Civic.
