UMW Toyota Motor has given the Toyota Corolla Altis a slight update, as it gains a few optional extras.
For a start, the optional Value Package includes a new-design digital video recorder (DVR), DVD-AVX infotainment system with reverse camera, Toyota premium security and solar film as well as new illuminated scuff plates. The Value Package is priced at RM6,137.40, and is offered for free for new customers.
There’s also a new panoramic view monitor (360-degree parking camera) for RM2,650 and front USB charging ports for RM212 – as offered on the Vios earlier. As before, there’s a DVD-AVN navigation upgrade for RM1,272 and an Aerokit styling package priced at RM2,438, which includes front and rear bumper spoilers, side skirts and a boot lid-mounted spoiler. You can also package the Aerokit, navigation and panoramic view monitor together for RM6,360.
Beyond the new options, the cars are largely unchanged in terms of specifications, with halogen headlights and 16-inch alloys being fitted to the 1.8E and 1.8G as before. The 2.0V gets LED projectors and larger 17-inch wheels instead. Safety kit is equal across the range, including seven airbags, VSC, traction control, ABS and Isofix rear child seat anchors.
Under the hood, models with the ‘1.8’ designation are powered by a 2ZR-FE 1.8 litre Dual VVT-I petrol engine (139 PS and 173 Nm), while the range-topping 2.0V gets a 3ZR-FE 2.0 litre unit instead (145 PS and 187 Nm). All engines are paired with a CVT automatic featuring a seven-speed Sport Sequential Shiftmatic Mode.
The Corolla Altis range starts with the 1.8E that goes for RM117,400 (on-the-road without insurance), followed by the 1.8G at RM120,300 and finally, the 2.0V at RM134,900. Each purchase comes with a five-year/unlimited mileage warranty, and a choice of six body colours. Detailed specs here on CarBase.my.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
That’s how you know the Altis (or basically all UMWT vehicles) aren’t selling well.
It is hard to sell corolla altis nowadays… especially when civic is around…
Class is permanent, the Corolla Altis.
Even preve sold more than altis, malu betul
I agree, class is permanent. But Corolla Altis has no class to speak of.
why toyota dun just discount 18k like honda accord to sell it
Altis has a good NVH compared to Civic. Inside cabin very quiet even though you drive at 140/150 km/h. Civic loose to Altis at this point.
What’s the point of quiet cabin at 140km/h when the handling is like sampan?
Safety & Stability/Handling always > then NVH
NVH ? go for D-segment, larger & comfort
UMW Toyota perihatin gips unlimited mileage warranty
Toyota selowpoke. Nowadays almost all brands gip unlimited mileage warranty
What the heck the touque difference of 1.8 and 2.0 is 14nm, almost negligeble. Whats the point of buying 2.0?
Ya..ya..you get that 4 ps extra.
Pathetic!
Good spec. But like u said, low power. Turbo pls.
I think the author mean 107 kW for 2.0 and 103 kW for 1.8 not PS. Just checked from Wiki.
107ps from a 2.0l is weakkk…sure it not a typo?
you get 120ps from a city 1.5l already….
at 6,000rpm. for what?
Fixed. It should be proper now.
Go check the Dyno graph first. Peak power/ torque on paper dont mean squat in the real world.
Wow very impressive. ‘Latest’ model by Toyota with recycled technology. Who on earth is buying Toyota these days? Overpriced, outdated and underpowered.
Wow, USB charger is a feature that Toyota needs to highlight circa 2nd half 2017. So what them jepunis were doing? Kek lapis teh tarik all day long kah?
Only brainless people will go for toyota and honda. Korean cars are definitely more better well designed than those ugly japanese design
Sini pun kau komen Norah? Dah lar tu. Your Kia sales so bad that you find the need to kutuk every other car ke. Every Jap car ad and article in FB will have this Norah commenting then posting about how nice the Optima is. Hahahahaha……go improve your product and marketing dulu. If the customer perception is the problem, fix it the right way. Not by taking it out on other makes.
USB charger oso sell as option…wow.
Rm212 for usb charger!!!!!! Wahahaha… pls lah… should be free!!!!
We lucky they didn’t mentioned power window as a selling point.
Apparently USB charger is a premium product nowadays for them while the rest moves on to wireless chargers… it’s like selling nasi lemak and pay extra for the additional ikan bilis while people putting in rendang ayem for paying extra.
Gerard, I don’t think the horsepower figures are right, aren’t they
Yes, you’re right. Corrected.
Everything extra charge at super high prices. What is the point of buying toyota when other brands are giving those features as std items nowadays, and even more than that.UMW still think people cannot live without toyota.Looks like they don’t really care about sales drop.
No rear aircond?….
UMW Toyota still haven’t learned from their mistake it seems. Always offering after market aesthetics gadgets and trims as improvement and expecting to sell it’s cars? Please stop treating Malaysian car buyers as fools and stop insulting the consumers intelligence. TQ
UMW Toyota is one of the few local companies which use DVRs (a.k.a dashcams) as a marketing tool. I believe ETCM also does the same for some Nissan models.
Under the new auto insurance policy, cars with one or more DVRs/dashcams *may* benefit from lower insurance premiums. Again, I must stress the ‘may’ part of this statement. Most local insurance companies have not yet capitalised on dashcams.
DVRs/dashcams are actually very helpful to the insurance companies and law enforcement. It prevents insurance fraud and helps combat crime (theft, break-in, hit and run etc.). In some countries (eg. Russia), every car MUST have a dashcam as part of the insurance policy. Nowadays, you can even get a decent dashcam for around RM200.
It is only a matter of time until local insurance companies start capitalising on dashcams. In that sense, UMW Toyota is ahead of the game.
Toyota Altis. Legend redefined
Legendary dinosar.
Dashcam can be installed aftermarket. Extra 4 airbags is not.
Better for toyota focus to gip 6 airbags vios instead of ah beng gadgets.
yes it’s with that on it, but pls la not on that kind of crazy price la…
Is it me only, I hardly see any newly registered Corolla Altis on the road. Mostly is the first batch.
Have to agree with other comments here that Toyota is not selling well with the new Civic around. I don’t think with all this kit, it will tempt people away from the civic. Toyota needs to design from the ground up. The interior is dated and Toyota refuses to integrate new technology like Android auto and Apple carplay will cost them dearly. Not sure if they want to integrate all this new technology. They are still reluctant to do so for other markets. Even iriz has more USB ports.
On another note, consumers can also see how much UMW is giving now when there is real competition
Holy moly.. look at all that grey plastics… with crappy textures and visibly poor quality to boot. What is this, a blast from the past? Toyota building cars based on the quality standards of 15 years ago?
first glance at the headline, i thought i was reading a post from 2007 instead 2017.
I’m waiting for the next generation (or late refresh) Corolla with Dynamic Force engine & gearbox (ie. Toyota’s version of Skyactiv). :-)
I only know how the new Altis looks from paultan, because I don’t see them on the road..
Toyota in malaysia is really struggling. people buy the accord vs the camry (except the hybrid), civic sells better than altis, city sells better than vios.
Even the serena hybrid sells better than the innova.
the only surviving one is their hilux. without that, toyota’s name has already being erased from malaysia. it’s time for toyota to wake up, move forward just as their tagline claimed and stay innovative and competitive.
they are ok. UMW has interests in 3 car brands namely Toyota, Lexus and also Perodua. all in all, UMW is having almost half of all cars sold in Malaysia. almost 50% share market.
And the common theme between the 3? Underspec, ovrpriced, unsafe moving deathtraps than rely on fooling customers with mythical high RV.
look at the clock with H & M button.. lol.. look exactly like my first car proton saga clock back in 1987.. hei.. now is 2017. 30 years of innovation from Toyota? hopefully they dun carry this clock to next gen altis..
Cassette tape deck wouldn’t look out of place on centre console. Even have extra space for EQ deck too.
OMG, when I check out back the Altis 2.0V, still no rear aircond blower?? Even City B-segment car also comes with rear aircond blower. Come on la UMW.
I’ll pass, Eventhough Altis has spec comparable to Civic. I still choose Honda Civic over Altis. Civic has Turbo charged.
