, in the Indian market, is all set to be launched in a diesel version in the country in July 2010. It's been a year since the speculations and rumors of the prospective launch of Toyota Corolla Altis diesel are doing rounds in the Indian market.

Mr Sandeep Singh, who is the Deputy Managing Director of TKM, has said in a official statement that the company will launch the Corolla Altis diesel anytime between 20th and 23rd of July. He added that the company hasn't finalized the date, but it will be on one of these three days.

The Toyota Corolla Altis diesel will be equipped with company's 1.4L 90hp CRDi engine along with a 6-speed manual transmission. It is expected that the car will be around Rs 1 lakh costlier than the petrol version of the same model.

At present, the Corolla Altis model is competing against some of the most popular cars of this segment including Honda Civic and Skoda Laura.

The new Corolla Altis will offer a class leading fuel economy of more than 21 kmpl (as tested by ARAI). However, there is no change expected in the interiors or exterior of the car.
