Toyota Motor Thailand has just introduced the all-new twelfth-generation Corolla Altis in the Kingdom, available in 6 variants.

For the first-time ever, Toyota is offering a hybrid variant of the all-new Corolla Altis, powered by the same 1.8-litre hybrid powertrain as the C-HR Hybrid. The hybrid powertrain in the Corolla Altis is good for a combined system output of 122 PS.

Toyota Motor Thailand is also offering the all-new Corolla Altis with the choice of a 1.6- or a 1.8-litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine. The smaller 1.6-litre engine is good for 125 PS and 156 Nm, while the larger 1.8-litre unit does 140 PS and 177 Nm. Both petrol engines receive a CVT-type automatic transmission with 7 virtual ratios.
