Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has launched a new Corolla Altis, the eleventh generation of the model. The vehicle was unveiled in February at the Auto Expo 2014.

The Altis is available in five grades in petrol — J(S), G, G-CVT, GL and VL (CVT) and four grades in diesel DJ, DJ(S), DG and DGL. It is available in seven colours (White Pearl Crystal Shine, Silver Mica Metallic, Grey Metallic, Blue Metallic, Champaign Mica Metallic, Super White II and Celestial Black), the company said in a statement.

“It is the world’s number one car with more than 40 million cars sold across the globe. The Corolla accounts for one in every five vehicles Toyota has sold in its 76-year history. The car started its 33-year run as the best-selling car in Japan in 1969. With global cumulative sales exceeding 22.65 million units, in 1997 the Corolla became the world’s best–selling nameplate. More than a million units have been sold each year since 2002,” Naomi Ishii, Managing Director at TKM said.

The petrol variants and diesel variants of the New Corolla Altis start at ₹11,99,000 and ₹13,07,324 ex-showroom Delhi, respectively.
