Most car models today stay out in the market for a good five to six years before bowing down for the curtain call. And when an all-new model is about enter the scene as a replacement, teasers, spy photos, and design concepts appear to give us a hint of what's to come. Perhaps, one of the more notable cars that’s due for a full model change is the current generation Toyota Corolla Altis. So when Toyota Motor Corporation pulled the covers off their 11th generation Corolla Axio in Japan last week, it roused rumors of the next generation Altis would look like.....

parang mas maganda yun new nissan sentra

[ghosthunter]

Oo nga eh... the Axio (as it is now) looks at bit bland.

[shadow]

the sentra I think will be a big hit pag ilabas agad ng Nissan dito yun and not 3-5 years late. they can market it like what they did with exalta.

The new Sylphy/Sentra looks luxurious enough that it can pass as a Lexus. This Axio on the other hand is so...meh.

The whole body shape looks so bland. If you would recall the JDM Corolla 9th gen, they only really changed the front and rear fascia but the overall shape of the body was similar with the global model. If that's what's gonna happen with this Corolla, I don't think it'll be a hit. It's got a low, boring beltline and the whole body just doesn't have enough curves to be a looker.

Mas maganda pa nga yung current Sentra (Sylphy) kaysa dito sa new one. Even though i-change yung headlamps and taillamps, I don't think it will look good enough as the one we have today.

Pero the Altis being a Toyota, marami pa rin mabebenta yan. As long as hindi kasing ridiculous ang price like the new FB Civic.

slap it a Vios badge and call it a day

Designers from Toyota and Honda should be fired.

sana retain nalang yung present corolla ngayun
peru papatok pa rin yan. sa Iba, may bibili pa rin heheh :D

Hope they do changes for our market. They were doing it pretty nice already with the 10th gen facelift.

[aargh]

This is a "Japan only" model. Im quite sure this wont be the next gen Corolla for international market.

what is this??? mukhang montero sport yung grille + headlights. mukhang china car. this just makes designers of the FB civic seem like pure design geniuses.

ang panget!

Don't worry guys, this won't be the Corolla that we'll be getting next year. Expect a Sportier designed Altis in 2013

Said to debut in 2013 and will be loosely based on the Europe only Auris hatchback

Toyota will unveil the next-generation Corolla Altis sedan next year, and according to Toyota and Scion USA vice president Bill Fay in an interview with WardsAuto, the new Toyota C-segment sedan will be a clear departure from the outgoing model.

According to Fay, the new Toyota Corolla will have an even more dramatic change than the recently-launched Toyota Avalon. The new Avalon is Toyota’s flagship sedan in the USA, one size up from the Camry. There were indeed big changes in the Avalon on both the exterior and interior. The Avalon now has a four door fastback coupe kind of look which reminds us of the Audi A7 from the side view, while the model it replaced looked like a bland giant Camry.

We can expect the new American market Corolla to be used in our region as the Corolla Altis, as that was the way it was for the last few generations. There is stiff competition in the C-segment scene these days in both terms of design as well as value for money in terms of equipment, but in Malaysia the Corolla Altis continues enjoy the promise of reliability and good resale value that the Toyota badge brings. Still, an edgier design wouldn’t hurt at all.

The renderings you see in this story by our resident automotive manipulator Theophilus Chin was inspired by the new Toyota Auris. Could this be the face of the next generation Toyota Corolla Altis?

The front looks like an evolution of the 10th gen.

The rear and the overall body shape, like the Camry.

Looks good. Hope it drives well too!

[renzo_d10]

The front and the back doesn't go so well with each other, the front being sporty & all that while the rear being decent-looking & simplistic, similar to the Camry.

Big change tho.

[jut703]

Looks different compared to the older Car and Driver rendering, in a good way. The overall shape is sharper yet neater. I like it.

[kiamoyman]

I like! The back looks like the new camry though. But like padin :p
