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.
