Corolla Altis Grande 1.8L Manual
The Corolla Altis Grande 1.8L Manual is the second top of the line in Corolla cars which costs Rs. 3,679,000. The variant is equipped with all the latest features including, cruise control, sunroof, leather seats and autoboot.
Apart from that, the car is having a keyless entry feature, steering controls, front camera and navigation.
This time the company has focused on automatic transmission rather than manual as the company is offering a completely black interior exclusively for the automatic variant.
Toyota Sales Hike
The Toyota Indus Motors (IMC) growth rate for the FY21 and FY22 will be around 4-15%, according to the experts, due to the high demand and sale of its Yaris brand. “Launch time was perfect, as Yaris is competing old Honda City model and there is no other major competition,” expert said.
However, time will decide whether the discontinuation of this manual 1.8L variant will impact Toyota’s sales.
