modifications in the all new Corolla and with all the new alteration comes a new look too. The visible changes in the car are in the performance, engine and transmission. The all new Grand Toyota Corolla Altis has a brand new engine and also a transmission which is powered by a dual VVT-I equipment. The car comes with a 1.8 litre and a 2.0 litre engine. The alterations in the bumper and grille are more evident. The exteriors are more dynamic, advanced and a luxury so to speak. The car is embellished with alloy wheels, front-head lamp and rear bumper.

From the outside, they’ve made a few significant changes to the look of the car. A more aggressive, sportier front bumper takes the place of the old, docile one, while sharper, more prominent headlamps finish off the new look. In the back there’s a new rear bumper, along with redesigned taillamps and chrome embellishments, all of which are complemented by new 16 inch wheels.

Inside, it’s very similar to the outgoing model, though with some improvements on fit and finish and equipment. A new steering wheel replaces the old one, making it more reminiscent of the Camry’s. Behind the new steering wheel is a pair of paddle shifters, while the old glossy faux wood panels have been swapped out for a set of classier matte faux wood, giving a better quality feel. Some may say that being one of the two range topping models of the Altis that this one should have leather seats, but personally I prefer the fabric ones in our tropical temperatures.

In terms of exterior more advanced, dynamic, and luxurious design with front bumper front head lamp, rear combination lamp, alloy wheels, rear bumper. A more advanced interior design shown with the new design on optitron yards, 3 spoke steering wheel, eco driving indicator.

The 2011 Toyota Camry ranks 13 out of 19 Affordable Midsize Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 79 published reviews and test drives of the Toyota Camry, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.

The best-selling car in America for eight straight years, the Toyota Camry saw its reputation damaged by Toyota’s highly-publicized recalls for unintended acceleration (see our Toyota Recall page for details). Buyers still interested in a Camry will find a softly-tuned, comfortable commuter car, but we’ve seen reports of quality problems with the 2011 Toyota Camry.

Being a huge success, oddly enough, can sometimes be rather unglamorous. Take the 2011 Toyota Camry, for example. Car enthusiasts love to dismiss the Camry with snide remarks that relate its excitement factor to that of a washing machine. But the reality is that for every car guy (or gal) who requires entertainment from whatever they drive, there are literally hundreds of folks who simply want their car to provide comfortable, efficient and dependable transportation. The Camry has long excelled in this area, and the result is Toyota’s midsize sedan being one of the top-selling cars for most of the last quarter-century.

Of course there’s more to the Camry than just a bland persona. The Camry’s engine choices include a respectably powerful 2.5-liter inline-4 and an ultra-smooth 268-horsepower V6 that’s without question the best in the family sedan segment. Other Camry strong points include a commendable level of comfort, plenty of convenience and luxury features, and top-notch safety scores. Whether you’re using it for daily commuting or a family road trip across the country, the Camry will likely satisfy.

The midsize sedan segment is arguably the most competitive in the automotive marketplace, and as such the 2011 Camry has a number of worthy opponents it must battle for sales chart supremacy. Of course there is its age-old rival, the Honda Accord, but now you can also consider the Chevrolet Malibu, Ford Fusion, Hyundai Sonata, Mazda 6, Nissan Altima and Suzuki Kizashi. Although the 2011 Toyota Camry doesn’t handle nearly as well as the sportier class entrants — such as the 6 and Altima — we suspect the majority of shoppers won’t care too much.

The 2011 Toyota Camry has a very roomy interior, with plenty of legroom in back for most adults and enough space for five. Front seats are wide and soft but lack much support, while rear seats are extremely comfortable and have larger proportions than those in some other mid-size cars; adults will feel comfortable enough for road trips back there.

VIOS is one of the youngest creation by the ever dazzling Toyota. The car was first introduced in 2003 and is still out in the markets of China and South East Asian countries. Vios is a 4-door subcompact sedan. It came out as a replacement for the Toyota Soluna. Subcompact cars is the choice of most Asian countries. They want small ones to be able to maneuver on heavy traffic-stricken small roads. And Vios satisfied them. This is the reason why Vios is still in demand on countries such as Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Mainland China.

The Toyota Vios in Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, and Malaysia, and Taiwan is powered by 1.5 liter 1NZ-FE engine with VVT-i. In the Philippines, the engine is just 1.3 liter 2NZ-FE engine while in China, it is sold with an 8A-FE engine. Vios was first assembled in Thailand at the 1 million square meter Toyota Gateway Plant in Gateway City in the Province of Amphoe Plaeng Yao, Chachoengsao. Thai engineers and Toyota Japanese designer’s collaborated to come up with a level lower subcompact car. The ergonomics in the region focuses on keeping everything inside a car within reach of the driver.

The first generation was inspired by the Toyota Platz where Vios got its body panels. Another car that inspired its design is the E120 Corolla. In Indonesia and Thailand, it serves as a racing vehicle, mainly used in the Touring Car Championships. Vios are also restored as taxicabs in both countries, Philippines and Malysia.

Philippines is the country where Vios is highly purchased. Car enthusiasts prefer it because of its small size. Philippine versions has three grades the base 1.3 J with a l4 2NZ-FE engine, VVT-i, 13″ steel wheels and a central instrumental digital display. It is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.

The HiLux has long since earned its reputation as one of the toughest vehicles on the planet, and the latest version adds some car-like virtues to the rugged practicality of its predecessors.

Styling is pretty much as you would expect – the Toyota looks tough and brutal, although it does without much in the way of driveway kudos. The standard of fit and finish is predictably solid, with the cabin feels similarly durable – although the utilitarian vibe is unmistakable, even on top-spec versions. The driving position is also surprisingly cramped for something so big, and taller drivers will have difficulty getting comfortable. The king cab version offers some extra space behind the front seats, and occasional drop-down seating – while the double cab has enough room for five. Neither version is exactly short of luggage space thanks to the vast

The 4×2 G variant of the Hilux gets the full 4×4 treatment, riding far higher than the E below it, measuring 1820mm tall. The body has quite a bit of testosterone too, thanks to muscular fender flares, step boards, some chrome bits and a proper set of rugged wheels riding on Bridgestone Dueler rubbers.

The interior is the same as the top of the line 4×4 model in all respects. Standard power features include the steering, windows, locks and mirrors, while for convenience, you get a 2-DIN audio unit with aux-in and 6 speakers, a multi-information display (compass, fuel consumption, range, temperature, etc.) and steering wheel audio controls. In terms of safety, the Hilux has the standard complement of seatbelts along with dual airbags, foglamps, halogen headlamps and ABS.

The Hilux may be one of the oldest designs of the current crop of Asian pick up trucks, but it’s still one of the largest. There’s ample leg and hip room for all 5 passengers, as well as some capacious storage solutions. Then there’s the bed which, measuring over 1.5 meters in both length and width, with half a meter of depth, is one of the largest in the class overall.

Car buyers face many tradeoffs-power vs. fuel efficiency, sport vs. practicality, convertible vs. hardtop, safety vs. size. Toyota’s FT-HS Hybrid Sports Car concept is the next step in Toyota’s have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too arsenal. This front-engine, rear-wheel-drive, 2+2 sports car is expected to produce 400 horsepower via its 3.5-liter V-6 hybrid engine. The FT-HS has targeted the sub-five-second zero-to-60 category, making it one of the quickest cars-err the quickest hybrid on the market (strange to use those two phrases in the same sentence).

The FT-HS’s styling is certain to cause a stir as Toyota refers to it as a combination of “perfect imbalance.” So-called “freeform geometrics” integrate fluid surfaces with hard corners, promoting airflow and reducing turbulence, which Toyota claims increases stability in high speed driving (translation: freeform geometrics is fancy terminology for functioning aerodynamics). “Integrated component architecture” is next in the design philosophy. This entails showing what needs to be seen-tail lamps spanning the width of the vehicle-and hiding what does not, al-la-retractable spoiler. Ultimately, the FT-HS styling goal is to achieve “subtractive mass”, which is a minimalist style that is not only lightweight but also looks lightweight, according to Toyota. Our translation: The FT-HS has the same goal we do before a high school reunion; we want to be lightweight, but if that’s a pipe dream, at least we can look lightweight.

Perhaps not the most ideal tag line to promote Toyota’s newest performance concept, think of the FT-HS – or Future Toyota Hybrid Sports – as a ‘Prius on steroids’. With rising fuel prices, the FT-HS prototype makes sense – a battery to keep the nutters happy, and a 3.5-litre V6 engine to keep a smile on your face.
The electric motor adds almost 50 percent more power to the petrol-only engine similar to the one found in the humble Aurion family car.

When combined, the FT-HS has a targeted output of over 300kW – just a little more than a Prius. With its aerodynamic profile and liberal use of weight saving materials, Toyota expects a 0-100km/h dash in the four-second range.If the hybrid-sports car doesn’t quite catch on, Toyota Australia’s corporate manager of product planning Peter Evans says alternatively it could be interpreted as a vision for the Toyota Supra of the future.
