2014 Toyota Corolla Altis review, road test

Both Corollas sip fuel quite judiciously and won’t burn a hole in your pocket. The petrol automatic returns a respectable 9.8kpl in the city that stretches to 14.5kpl on the highway. A fuel tank of 55 litres means you can comfortably cover about 650km on a single tank under mixed driving conditions. The small capacity diesel manages a much better 12.1kpl in the city and 17.1kpl on the highway. While these figures are quite good, we reckon the highway figure could have been even better if the engine had some more oomph as that would avoid the need to downshift often. The diesel Corolla gets a slightly smaller 50-litre fuel tank, but still gives you an impressive range of about 730km between fill-ups.
