Altis owner here from 2014 to 2017 (10th gen) and 2018 to present (11.5 gen facelifted), both 1.6L. I can say the ride is very comfortable ans fuel efficient (lalo na yung 11th gen with the Dual VVTI and CVT). Ika nga poor mans Camry or better term is Baby Camry.
Question: Was there a difference when you transitioned from the archaic 4-speed auto (of the 10th gen) into the CVT in the newer generations of this vehicle? :O We are thinking of ditching our 2012 Toyota Camry 2.5G (XV50) since medyo matakaw ang konsumo para sa amin......and wala siya reverse camera which is hassle during vehicle parking. We might get this instead (GR Sport variant)
@@blackcyborg009 The CVT is smoother in acceleration as long as you don't floor it accelerating. It's also more fuel efficient. I would get the Hybrid model if you're very particular with the fuel economy.
Loves how they placed the fog lamps inside the air vent below, resembles a more camry appearance for me. Now wondering if what's the better choice between mazda 3 premium and toyota altis.
Hello Sojoo, great review as always. Very underrated and hopefully you get much more views. I also heard that the base Altis E was replaced with a CVT... is it okay if you check it out for us?
Exterior and interior is beautiful.. reliable engine as well.. fuel efficient transmission too.. but the thing that really breaks any interest from me buying this car is that ugly infotainment monitor.. Sad..
That would be too much to ask and the price we have to pay. If they can just give us the 169hp M20A-FKS engine. I'd pick this over the Civic RS anyday.
I don't know. Altis still reminds me a lot of Vios. I'd rather buy a civic. Looks better, handles better and has better engine too even for the base variant.
@@tracy062 huh? Civic is a very reliable model. It’s a honda! There’s a reason why tons of decade old civics/city are still being used in our roads. And civic only refreshes every 5 years. Anung madaling magpalit

Civics are only good as a Bachelor car. Altis is more on the family oriented. Higher ground clearance, fuel efficient, comfortable for driver and passenger. Useless and better engine kung lagi ka stuck sa traffic. I had a Civic 1.8 (2012) until I sold it last year, the only thing I missed was the engine that I did not have to over-rev to overtake.
Why are you comparing a crossover/pickup to a sedan. These are all very different cars lmao. There are things a sedan can do that a crossover much more a pickup can’t. Like better comfort and handling.
@@ErnestMarvinEsteban nothing wrong with comparing this car to other segment. The point is, what are the other options at this price point? You see, the commenter was thinking if it is practical. which is a good question. Of course, everyone should critically think before buying a 1.3m vehicle. Buying a vehicle now is not about the segment, it is about practicality, functionality and reliability. In other words "value for money". Consumer wants to get the most out of their money. In fact im also having the same the dilemma as the commentor. Hahaha
I just don't understand why The Philippines can't get the 2.0L Dynamic Force Engine 169hp (M20A-FKS). My 2020 Corolla SE (US version) can easily reach 200 kph and no unbearable loud drone like sound of the old 1.6L dual VVTi. Drive the M20A-FKS engine normaly and it will sip 41 mpg mixed city and highway.

Saw that up close in person, its really a looker particular in pearl white color. Nice review Joo!!

Yessss
i always confuse on the highway, if its a camry or altis passing beside me LOL

It's never called a poor man's Camry here in the US. Try to drive the $50k GR Corolla.

My friend that
vehicle
is so beautiful
indeed
Hello Sojoo, great review as always. Very underrated and hopefully you get much more views. I also heard that the base Altis E was replaced with a CVT... is it okay if you check it out for us?
The answer is yes. Per toyota phil website.
Does the reverse camera guidelines move as you steer?
i like your glove @SoJooCars
any big differences with this over the E variant?
it seems there is no g variant? :(
Sojoo question they have gr altis hybrid?
my dream sedan car
Altis GR-S na 1.6L yung engine pero 121hp lang.. seryoso ba ‘to?
This or the 2024 honda city?
Please test drive this unit sojoocars!!
Whats the title of the music sojoo? :)
Aesthetically looks good but at the same price point, for me I'd still choose the civic base variant due to the turbo engine.
Yes, but the ground clearance of the Honda Civic is an issue. Konting lubak or hump lang, umpog na agad.
Love Altis
Is better this car use the 1.8L or the 2.0L can have more power and more fuel economy.
May Low speed follow ba sya, sir joo? Since may acc sya . Thanks
Yes according to the owner
Wala yatang rear aircon vents to.
Mahal po ba ang maintenance and parts nito?
5 star NCAP passed ba ito?
Ilove altis grs
Sojoo 🚗
ground clearance sir joo
Exterior and interior is beautiful.. reliable engine as well.. fuel efficient transmission too.. but the thing that really breaks any interest from me buying this car is that ugly infotainment monitor.. Sad..
Yeah it's fugly
Such a shame. Underpowered engine. Shouldve at least have a turbo for the GR badge sake 😔
That would be too much to ask and the price we have to pay. If they can just give us the 169hp M20A-FKS engine. I'd pick this over the Civic RS anyday.

Civic is more reliable and sporty looking. Only disadvantage against the corolla is the price. Honda is so expensive for a sedan but it's worth it.
Civic in a CVT is 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Sporty? Yes? But their CVT is a bit unreliable when left unchecked.

Nice
for that price range, is that practical? or you might buy HRV, Coolray, or expander , you might seatle for Nissan calibre as well .
Gosh 😅
This is a sedan
Why compare apples to oranges? Damn these nonsense comments again. LMAO.

The problem is fuel is getting more expensive😅😅😅

Or even the 1.8L, that two engines can easily move that car and have better gas economy.
we are lacking in long highways.. speeding is dangerous...
please review the altis MT as well
CVT na Ang E
@@jemm.8277 pero alam ko may corolla altis na MT
@@NERO-ez1mn yes po, meron. Pero sa latest sa website nila naging CVT na ang E base model
All altis are CVT only for 2022 since the grs trim was launched
I wanna retire with this kind of car. 👌👌👌
it looks more aggressive. :)
It still can't compete with the Honda Civic.
in terms of engine ig yes, but looks and safety features nakakasabay naman.
@@ace_charity8467 As I’ve said, it still can’t compete with the Civic…
