Toyota Corolla Altis Hybrid 12th Generation

  • Expected Launch in Pakistan = 2024
  • Expected Price in Pakistan= 80-110 Lac PKR
  • Generation = 12th

The 12th generation of Toyota Corolla launched in late 2018 globally and by 2019 in Thailand. The Toyota Corolla available in Pakistan is still the 11th generation, and it has been 2.5 years since the new generation is launched worldwide but not available in Pakistan. After the global launch of the 11th generation Civic, the question arises why Toyota Indus is not introducing the latest generation Corolla in Pakistan. It should have reached the Pakistani markets now, but the pandemic caused some delay. Its news that the Toyota Corolla 12th generation will arrive in Pakistan till the summer of 2022, and the hybrid version will launch first before the petrol version. Pakistan’s government has been pushing automobile companies to introduce fully electric vehicles in Pakistan. The Auto Policy, and incentives, and tax relaxations are given to the companies. The CEO of Toyota Indus has addressed the benefits of hybrid vehicles many times and promised to invest in this technology. The hybrid-technology incentive will benefit Toyota Indus and encourage emission-free cars in Pakistan. The trend of crossovers has been increased a lot in the past couple of years. Still, the demand for sedans like Civic and Corolla will never end, and customers are eagerly waiting for the new generation of Toyota Corolla in Pakistan. The 12th generation Toyota Corolla Altis Hybrid is Built on Toyota’s New Global Architecture, and it is called the GA-C platform. The MC platform used for the 11th generation Corolla will discontinue. The 12th generation Toyota Corolla will be equipped with Toyota Safety Sense that increases the safety levels for the passengers and offers a variety of driving assistance programs. The 12th generation Toyota Corolla has been awarded the highest safety ratings. The 12th generation Toyota Corolla was spotted on roads of Karachi in spy shots in 2020 that show the interest of Toyota Indus towards the launch of the new generation in Pakistan, but the COVID delayed its launch. We expect it to launch in the first half of 2022 in Pakistan.
