before quarantine, the corolla altis along with the prius were on our school being displayed where you can test drive it. rode in it and it was very quiet and comfortable.

[@derekdiez5494]

Whats great with the Altis is, its offered in several variants to choose, from manual, AT, CVT and cvt hybrid.

For rich people only,the price tag is already for midsize suv,it’s a cvt but toyota has a reliable Cvt.

[@ianeyd5215]

Its not a belt driven cvt, it only behaves like a regular cvt thats why toyota calls it that, the transmission they use in thier hybrids are extremely reliable

[@arwillarroyo7454]

I will usually get around 6-8 km/l with that engine on the city but because of the Hybrid system it doubles your mileage!

Anybody care to share if they've experienced any defects with the hybrid model (altis/cross)? Or any bad exp with hybrid cars of any other manufactures (both here and abroad)? THANKS.

[@MiggyMndza]

It's really a great vehicle, the hybrid system makes the Altis' vanilla reputation very reasonable now. Just one thing, that undeniably hideous headunit it comes with and for its price creeping very close to the Corolla Cross Hybrid's price. Sure having a sedan is a breathe of fresh air(speaking from experience as someone who drives SUVs on a daily commute) but given that the Cross gives you more(oem headunit as well ehem) for almost the same money and size but with more cargo space, Toyota consumers(or Pinoys, in short) might really think twice about this. P.S. Caco's a maaaaaadddd man with that lemans hybrid enactment 😂

[@ginaf.2095]

Completely agree with this. Headunit in the Altis Hybrid is a disappointment. That's why I got the Cross Hybrid.

[@japjap976]

[@mjss1984]

One of the things that concerns me about this car specifically is that TMPI is not offering the same warranties for the powertrain and battery here as they do in countries like the US and Australia. My question is why aren't they? You are already paying that hefty price premium for the hybrid at its current price point yet there isn't really much of an incentive that they are there to protect your purchase of it being offered in kind by TMPI for 8 to 10 years. The cost to replace the hybrid powertrain and batteries will be crippling if it suddenly needs replacement outside their 5 year warranty (if I'm not mistaken that's what TMPI is offering to us only). While other countries are given the rightful 10 year warranty for such technologies. The other is how much the interior cabin of this Altis is compromised for those around 6' in height or more. Front passenger's knee will hit the dashboard glovebox area because it protrudes outwards to achieve the design aesthetic they were after. Looks nice but isn't practical as it compromises space. Yes you can move the seat back, but how much legroom would that leave the one sitting in the back. Again, I find this tradeoff done for design a bad compromise as it affects usable passenger space for occupants. You also mentioned the headroom being an issue for taller people in the rear, and I think Toyota should have lowered the seat cushions to give more headroom at the back. Lastly, I really hated what TMPI did to shortchange the Philippine market for the infotainment. They just had to change it to some cheap tablet instead of the Toyota ones fitted to other markets. That's the "CRT" you mentioned in your review which is really a tacky implementation done by TMPI. They just can't help themselves when it comes to the infotainment for our market.

[@chubeelee2942]

Could be that they still consider us a 3rd world nation and that we wont complain anyway even if they send out a shitload of leftover cars as long as there is a Toyota badge stamped on them. Shortchanged and Arrogance.. Pretty much sum up what TMPI is dishing out to every Filipino motorist. If not only for its perceived reliability.. Maaan, pinulot na cguro lahat ng mga executives nito sa kangkongan dahil sa pinaggagawa ng mga mokong at hinayupak na to. Gotta love toyota though in general.

[@sgivetteace]

Chubee Lee - at least there should be an exception or consideration re the hybrids specially Filipino buyers are gettin smarter and cautious as to where or how their money is going to be spent.

[@jet5641]

its probably because there are no tax breaks yet for hybrid/electric vehicles in PH. First world countries actually sell hybrids on the cheaper side since their governments give them astronomical tax incentives when they sell hybrid/pure electric cars.

[@patrickr4762]

Valid point. I guess its just a business decision bec. probably the hybrids are just a small chunk of their sales and they make less money, so they cut corners wherever they can.

[@mattsee45]

Amd the hybrid powertrains are much better over in places like US and Europe

[@RonanNotRyan]

Sir Caco: "Sorry if I'm carbon dating myself, but does the infotainment system look like a CRT monitor that runs a 486 and DOS?" Me, who watches LGR and The 8-Bit Guy: "Yes, yes it does."

First maintenance is more expensive, you cant diy with hybrids, you cant bring it to your local mechanic, you can only casa maintain it but i doubt even the mechanics in toyota are real expert with hybrids. Its a new tech here in our country. Also if the electric part goes bad you better pray its still under warranty because if its not. It would cost a fortune to have it replaced.
