Engine options will remain the same. Which means the new Corolla will continue with the 1.8 L petrol and the 1.4 L diesel. The latter has been heavily criticised for being too underpowered. However, Toyota doesn’t seem to have any plans of upgrading the diesel engine. This also puts it on the backfoot when compared with fellow D-Segment sedans such as the Hyundai Elantra and Skoda Octavia.

New Toyota Corolla Altis 2017 Review – Exterior Design
The nose of the new Toyota Corolla has been restyled. There are new sleeker LED headlamps on offer along with a slimmer front grille. It also gets a sportier front bumper. The side profile remains identical, except for new alloy wheels. At the back, while the tail lamp profile remains the same, the LED detailing is new. Also, the thickness of the chrome applique above the number plate has come down. Overall, the new front end helps keep the sedan fresh.

On the inside, the dashboard of the Corolla gets several styling tweaks. These include a new centre console with a new touchscreen system. The auto aricon controls are also new and the side AC vents are now circular. We expect Toyota to retain the black beige colour scheme for the India-spec Corolla Altis. The one seen in the image below is that of the Russia-spec 2017 Toyota Corolla. There aren’t any other noteworthy changes apart from the ones mentioned above.

New Toyota Corolla Altis 2017 India – Engine and Transmission
The 1.8 L petrol and 1.4 L Diesel engines will continue to power the Corolla Altis. Transmission options will include a 6-speed manual and a CVT for the petrol variant, while the diesel gets only a 6-speed manual option. The oft-criticised 1.4 Diesel could do with more power. However, with the popularity of diesel cars on the decline and a high percentage of these cars being chauffeur driven, Toyota probably doesn’t see any point in swapping the small 1.4 for a bigger unit. Also, while its competitors offer diesel automatic variants, the Corolla is unlikely to get one.
