The excitement in the Indian automobile industry found a strong justification with the launch of Toyota Corolla Altis (Diesel Version) today

. Corolla Altis has been a popular car amidst enthusiasts and the addition of a newer engine capacity only escalated its dominance in the sedan segment. The new Diesel version has been priced at Rs 10.95 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

The range offered to the Indian customers include three spectacular variants (D4DJ, D4DG and D4DGL) with the top end variant being tagged at Rs 13.75 lakh. Toyota seems to have placed an intelligent bet with the launch of a Diesel version of Altis and the same appears to be evident from the statements of the company officials, stating the huge expectations Toyota Kirloskar motors has from this new entrant.

The Corolla Altis Diesel gets a differentiating sporty mesh grille, better aerodynamic characteristics, and the lowest NVH and best ground clearance in its segment. The car is available in seven colours Silver Mica Metallic, Champagne Mica Metallic, Dark Red Mica Metallic, White Pearl Mica, Light Blue Mica Metallic, Super White and Black Mica. Toyotas D-4D technology also used in the Innova, Fortuner, Prado and Land Cruiser 200 has earned a reputation the world-over for its high quality, durability and reliability.

The currently available Petrol version is shelved in the price bracket of Rs 10 lakh and Rs 14 lakh in Delhi (ex-showroom price). The new version mainly differs in the engine capacity as the exteriors are more or less the same. The Corolla Altis Diesel sports a 1.4 litre common rail diesel engine that would produce a power of 88.4PS and a torque of 205 Nm. The car is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission gearbox. The company claims a mileage of 21.4 kmpl, which if delivered, would prove to be one of the best in the Diesel segment.
