Toyota Corolla Altis Diesel Launched
Toyota launched the much awaited and much needed diesel version of the Corolla Altis today at a launch in Delhi. The Corolla Altis diesel will be priced between 10.95 and 13.75 lakhs (Ex Showroom Delhi) and will be available in 3 variants namely D4DJ, D4DG and D4DGL. The car will more or less resemble its petrol sibling besides a changed front grille.
The Altis diesel is powered by a 1.4 litre common rail diesel engine capable of producing 88.4PS and a torque of 205 Nm and gearshift is by means of a manual 6 speed gearbox. Not very impressive when compared to the Chevrolet Cruze, which fits in the similar price bracket but produces 150 bhp of power but Toyota has got is spot on as far as the fuel efficiency is concerned. Toyota claims a figure of 21 kmpl which is fantastic for a car of this size, the best in the segment by far.
