Toyota unveils diesel version of Corolla Altis

Toyota Kirloskar Motor Pvt. Ltd. (TKM) launched the Corolla Altis Diesel in India. The Corolla Altis is available with a newly developed 1.4L in-line 4-cylinder D-4D common rail diesel engine that generates a peak power of 88.4 PS and a peak torque of 205 Nm. The D-4D engine is complemented by a 6-Speed Manual Transmission – a first-in segment offering – to provide flat torque that would mean lesser gear shifting, leading to better fuel efficiency. The Corolla Altis comes with competitive price tags between Rs1,100,000 and Rs1,378,400 (US$23,759 and US$29,772). (August 3, 2010)
