Took delivery from BM this morning.

According to Wikipedia, Altis was a location in what is today Peloponnese in Greece. Altis was also referred to as the Sanctuary of Zeus by the Greeks.

The new Corolla Altis feels roomy and spacious. The floor in the back is virtually flat, so middle seat passengers will have less to complain about. Switching on the ignition the car starts with the smoothest sound. The engine is well refined with slick gearshift. The car accelerates smoothly and the steering wheel feels super light. Maneuvering the car is easy thanks to the light feel Electronic Power Steering.

You'd be forgiven for mistaking the Altis for its expensive sibling, the Toyota Camry if it's the first time you see the car on the road. If you look at the picture of the Camry and Altis side-by-side, you will realize where the styling cues have been taken from.
