Toyota Corolla Altis User Reviews

Recently purchased this car. I can discribe the car to be an extremely confused one in itself. In some areas it boasts to be the best in the segment and at many points it is the worst. With a revamp last year, Toyota has improvised the exterior of the car but have totally missed aligning the features and interiors to be near to contemporary, to forget about futuristic.

Other posts and videos can well tell you the goods of the car. Let me highlight the bad points.

1. Extremely high priced. No justification to explain why this car is priced at Rs 22+ lakhs much expensive than other similar sedans. All below points are in conjunction to the price segment of this car and the expectations with a car of this segment.

2. Interiors are tooo dull and non innovative. While I have seen many extremely good looking with extremely appreciable interiors Toyota models overseas, I am amazed why they they have not used their experience n technology in this high premium car in India.

3. Interior material and design looks too cheap and low in class. No feeling of the luxury element that u expect from this price range.

4. The biggest disappointment is the infotainment system which looks like that Toyota is dumping its old outdated stock in Indian market. It will surprise you that the system talks about compatibility with I phone but with models Iphone 5 and 5s. While we are expecting iPhone XI in next few months, this infotainment system is still living in its world of iPhone.

5. It can connect only to one Bluetooth device at a time. And if u want to connect to second device, u have to disconnect the first one from the system. Biggest disappointment is that you cannot change these Bluetooth settings while vehicle is moving. This is on pretext of passenger safety but I have seen the first car with such restrictions. And even if the person next to driver wants to operate it, it cannot be done. You have to stop the car at the side of road and then change these bluetooth settings.

There are so many other important features which are not available in moving car while these are available in so many other cars which boast of much higher security of passengers.

Other important missing features are 

- No auto door locking while this feature is available in much cheaper cars.

- Back view camera is of extremely poor quality. This is inferior to the cameras in mid level hatchbacks worth Rs 5 lakhs.

- The touch of plastIcs, click noice of various levers etc are all non luxurious and low standard.

- Angle of low beam headlight is bad and uncomfortable but cannot be adjusted.

- Although outside width of car is wider than other sedans but the size of back seat is smaller than many other normal sedans.

- No aux-in slot.

- Slot of USB is at the top next to screen. Looks too shabby. (15 years old style). This should have been placed at lower side or inside console.

- Arm rest is uncomfortable and non movable. Cannot be adjusted.

- Steering feel and comfort is much lower than needed.

- Speaker quality - Just average.

- car seats are too hard. Do not give a luxurious feel.

Overall, I am extremely disappoints and do not find the car anywhere near to my expectations. Not worth the price.

Take decision accordingly.
Thanks.
