Paultan.org: See the next-gen Toyota Corolla Altis from all angles!

 
By Hafriz Shah of www.paultan.org 

These aren’t quite the official pictures of the next-generation Toyota Corolla Altis, but they could have fooled you, couldn’t they? Highly detailed and photo-realistic as they are, these are 3D renderings of the car by Humster3D. We’ve purchased the renderings for you to see.

It’s still unclear whether the model is based on leaked or official data, but the last time we featured a rendering by the same source, the W222 Mercedes S-Class digital images turned out to be nigh on identical to the real thing. We could well be looking at the 2013 Toyota Corolla Altis, which is due later this year.

Compared to the leaked spyshots of the production car we published in February, these renderings are accurate down to the smallest details. The front face carries a heavy resemblance to the new Vios, albeit with a lot more flair infused into it. Those are LED DRLs flanking the bold new grille.

The side profile follows that of the Toyota Furia Concept from the 2013 Detroit show, and the rear lights appear simple, yet shapely enough to be universally attractive. It’s a big step forward from the existing Corolla Altis, that’s for sure. So how about it, like what you see here?

2015 Toyota Prius Interior Spyshot

A test mule for the 2015 Toyota Prius has reared its head yet again, this time with an entourage of current-generation Prius hybrids. In the new shots, we can see the tester is still in the early phases of development, but we do get to see the car’s interior and more of its heavily camouflaged exterior.

When we last spotted the next Prius, we really only got a glimpse of its rear end and profile. These new images let us see the car from all angles, though don’t reveal much through the heavy camouflage. The test mule’s similar shape to the current-gen Prius, which can be seen testing alongside the prototype, is still apparent. Through the front end’s camouflage, we can see two intake slits in the grille, much like the current model’s front end. The 2013 Toyota Prius is EPA-rated at 51/48 mpg city/highway, and 50 mpg combined.
Inside, however, things look very different. The test mule sports a traditional instrument cluster, losing the central gauge layout of past models. The center stack is incomplete, but we can see HVAC vents and controls have been restyled, as has the steering wheel, which receives a sportier-looking three-spoke design. This tester retains the current model’s tiny electronic gear selector, though it’s unclear whether that will make it to the final cabin design.

As we previously reported, the next-gen Prius is rumored to be getting a significant makeover. If that’s the case, this prototype could be wearing the outgoing model’s sheetmetal. “Then why cover it,” you ask? That will likely remain a mystery until the next time we spy the popular hybrid’s successor.

Apparently this is a sneak peak as to the direction Toyota is going with the next Prius (one of them anyways).
