If you've been following our website, you'll know that the 2021 Toyota Vios facelift will bring with it a new variant - the Vios GR Sport. To most of us, a Vios with Gazoo Racing touches is a bit of a surprise.

We think the latest Toyota Corolla Altis is a looker but in Europe, things are looking a little sharper for the world’s best-selling car.

Toyota Corolla Altis | Gallery The Corolla is Toyota's most storied nameplate. So steeped is its heritage that by the late ‘90s, the Corolla name had become too successful for its own good. The name had become a drag because younger buyers associated the name too much with their father's car. Thus explains the introduction of the "Altis" suffix. Irrespective of what it's called, the Corolla (Altis) has always stood for quality, dependability, and reliability. Toyota folks like to call it QDR. Ra
