The move to reduce the price of Toyota Corolla Altis this time is said to be “cleaning the warehouse” to make way for the new version.

According to research at a number of Toyota dealers nationwide, the Corolla Altis is being offered for sale at a rather deep discount. However, the promotion program at each dealer will be different and the number of vehicles is also limited. Specifically:

Therefore, the A column of the new Corolla Altis is also thinned, promising to have a clearer view than the previous generation. The interior / exterior design of the car will also be changed in a more modern direction, in which the front end will have many similarities with the Toyota Camry brother.

Currently, it is not clear whether the new generation Toyota Corolla Altis, if launched in Vietnam, will be assembled domestically or continue to be imported CBU from Thailand. This model is a competitor to Honda Civic, Kia Cerato, Mazda3, Hyundai Elantra, Chevrolet Cruze, …
