2020 Toyota Corolla Altis 1.8 G Review in Malaysia, Comfort Over Everything Else! | WapCar

[@comments7335]

"A very family oriented sedan" and it makes Corolla the best selling car in the world. Clean and honest review. Loved it!

[@WapCar]

Glad you liked it!

[@aronejimmy6572]

Finally a perfect review with honest conclusion. It's a family sedan for truly comfortable cruising and day to day driving. Not sporty like many people claim

[@xmenlingcheehuat0811]

I think ppl just claim it to be tidy handling car with a really subtle ride. Hard to get comfortable while sporty handling.

[@WapCar]

You'll only find trusted and honest reviews on WapCar 😃

[@mcmac9565]

sporty in the sense that it handles well(because of it's solid, well tuned chassis)..which in turn inspires more confidence when pushing hard.

[@algabron4281]

Honda nowadays hv quality issue like rafting, fuelpump, steering rack..😂😅😢 Mazda is overpriced.. Toyota as usual long lasting..

[@saufiahmad8251]

And now i have a choice of suitable car for my mom. She need a comfort car, not a super fast car like civic hehe

[@firelordazula386]

Keep up WapCar,your presentation is what i expected

[@ryder9739]

The drive sounds a lot like the 1st generation Nissan Sylphy 2.0 (2008) which I owned. Quiet, refined, comfort tuned suspension etc. However, I read few comments that this Corolla is not too quiet when the speed gets up to 110 km/h and it gets noisier above this speed mainly from the roads and traffic. The Nissan Sylphy is quiet up to 170 km/h. Too bad Toyota didn't pay too much on NVH especially noise levels as it used to be a trademark for Toyota vehicles. Perhaps the Camry is the only vehicle which is quiet up to 200 km/h but not this Corolla which is unfortunate.

[@AndrewKNI]

Great review. Plush looking car but the Civic has the edge in design for me.

[@bbqqreen]

Yes. The best design

[@parkbomsupremacy1984]

i love this car interior , look so simple , no button here , no button there , i just , like it

[@anandsamy5194]

The only C segment car with 9 inch screen, wireless charger and rear sunshade. Not bad still 5K cheaper than CKD Civic although Altis is a CBU unit.

[@1992vinod]

I own a civic and i found the corolla is nice too bruh. Only the engine is not appealing to me. I really need the low end torque at times. However, currently i love low driving position so for now civic vl do. Once i got bored of the low seating position i might consider corolla as my next buy if the next gen civic did not arrive sooner.

[@nitric75]

maybe more appropriate to compare this altis to the 1.8 civic?

[@syafizeesabri5945]

received mine yesterday. superb in comfort

[@earthling6969]

The touch screen infotainment unit really looks like an after market installation and sticking out awkwardly. Steering wheel design can be better. Exterior design is better now compared to their past model. Then again, nobody buys Toyota for exciting look, driving dynamic, etc. Toyota is for those who just want to get from point A to B, reliability, comfort which suits most consumers.

[@xmenlingcheehuat0811]

yea, a comfortable ride is what most people prefer for daily drive.

[@amerbasyer]

Toyota Corolla 2020 hatchback looks cool

[@WapCar]

The touchscreen infotainment is indeed a locally sourced unit from Clarion but factory fitted so it meets Toyota's standards 😃

[@bbqqreen]

Generally toyota altis new is more for uncle and nerdy man who drive like turtle on the road

[@JonLee-xo6tp]

[@jijisuka2708]

i did rent previous gen corolla and its a very comfortable car.. thing that i dont like is steering feedback and cvt responsiveness.. the car feel stable than my persona vvt (less body roll) but the steering feel is very low.. it makes it boring and slow.. the cvt is super silent but the response is slow in low rpm.. if to compare to my persona, the altis need to be in sport mode to make it feel like persona

Nicely presented. Always look forward for your reviews. However, on 4:35, the 9 Inch Clarion Malaysia Player is not supported in the latest Altis. At least this was mentioned by the sales person in UMW Rawang. This is available on which batch ya? This is a deal breaker as spoiled with Android Auto function on my current car.

the traffic noise intrusion into the cabin is very obvious in the previous generation altis and it is so annoying. Looks like Toyota has not overcome this issue with the latest model. i'd say even the current civic outclasses the altis in terms of traffic noise intrusion.

How does the Corolla compare to his Korean counterparts? Would love to see a shootout or comparison with all the affordable C-Segments

[@xmenlingcheehuat0811]

The problem is the Korean C-segment that available now is old, and base variant. So, can really compare.

[@zaw3573]

@@xmenlingcheehuat0811 The Elantra was just launched last year and the new Kia Cerato will be coming in any hot second now I guess. Would think the new variants are viable for a countryman's wallet since they have proven as such in recent years.

Korean C-segment sedans are more basic and simple compared to Japanese rivals. No Korean C-segment sedans in Malaysia offer ADAS

[@AshwinChelva]

[@CFA28]

Civic vs altis is always the tough choice for c-segment buyers. If the altis was a 2.0 with prices below 140k, am sure it will sell well. Altis is more comfortable compared to the civic but less powerful. Does the car still handle well at speeds in excess of 140 to 160?

[@chanst6692]

Noted in the comments section that you measured the back seats angle but don't you find that the back seat's headrest juts out a bit too far for a comfortable support. It tilts the passenger's head forward as the back rest is concaved inward.

[@WapCar]

It's actually designed as such to prevent whiplash in the event of an accident 😃

[@johnwxh30]

Made in Thailand?

[@1992vinod]

I love toyota.They are minimalist and cheapskate.A lot of backlashes made them to change the infotainment.I can imagine UMW malaysia is crying because less profit. Cubby spaces is literally small.Currently it vl be almost perfect if not its 1.8 Dinosaur engine.

[@yangerek78]

Its minimalist for a reason anyway why should a car make give u something that u drool about but after some time it breaks down or u need a new replacement parts? The one that is cheapskate is u since not only u dont want to pay extra $$ for something that may last longer than u but the fact that u are being stupid for buying something else will break down and cost u even more $$$

[@jasoncheah3444]

I think it is a pretty fair review. Personally I think the main minus point is the cramped appearance of the cabin and too small cabin stowage. I had a look at one and didn't feel compelled that it is a big enough improvement to warrant a replacement for my trusty Corolla ZZE132. Also felt like it was too posh (not a bad thing - just perception). As for the cabin insulation levels - I think I can accept some not too excessive outside noise. There have been occasions I could only tell that there was a bike in my blind spot because I heard the sound of its engine.

[@user-le9ch1pq3o]

Interior dia not bad laa

[@nmaxownerchannel8030]

i love toyota. im driving vios. what i hate most about it is backward technology. come on. honda civic comes with auto start fm smart key. this helps a lot. malaysia is hot. before u get into ur car must cool it first. plus high spec comes with full body kit. but this one. empty! sorry. im choosing civic fe for my next car

In most part of the video, due to the reviewer camera position we can see the awkward huge hump/tunnel covering the 2-DIN head unit sticking out above the otherwise a sleek dashboard. Seems like an afterthought and what an eyesore just like in the new RAV4 unfortunately.

[@WapCar]

The huge hump is the inherent design of the dashboard. Definitely a intentional move by Toyota rather than afterthought haha 😅

[@y00tiuby00zr]

WapCar yes it is carried over from the launch model but still a design afterthought. Other markets like Australia for example gets the same dashboard but with a proper touchscreen integration 😁

The TNGA platform and Toyota Safety Sense ADAS are the latest technologies from Toyota. Only the engine & transmission are carried over

[@jazzchan4144]

To be frank, I drove both the Altria 2014 and the new Altria facelift 2020. Although the engine & transmission are brought over, the driving sensation is of different level. The power drain feeling is so much better. I believe the Toyota engineering has gone their max best in tuning the car. Feel so good to drive for a family car
