TOYOTA COROLLA X 1.6 PRICING

Toyota Corolla has a very profound history in Pakistani automobile markets since the time the seventh generation of Corolla started to be assembled by Indus Motors. The 7th generation of Toyota Corolla was replaced by the 9th in 2002, and the 1.8 liter Corolla Altis was launched in 2005, which was the first time Corolla had an Altis variant in Pakistan.

Currently, the 12th generation of Altis is available in the international market, which is designed and built on the Toyota New Global Architecture Platform. The 2021 Corolla Altis is lengthier than previous models, and it is more aerodynamic, but the launch of the 2021 Toyota Corolla Altis has not yet taken place in Pakistan. Indus Motors Pakistan has been looking forward to releasing a new model of Corolla-Altis in mid of 2021 and expected the new Altis to launch as a Corolla X package. The Corolla X package features newly designed headlights and rear lights and modified A.C. vents inside the cabin. Facelift changes will also be introduced in it with minor updates, including interior cosmetic modifications and a newly introduced body kit. Bookings for the upcoming Corolla model have not started yet, and last year’s 11th-generation model is still the latest option to purchase at the Toyota showrooms.
