The E170/E180 series Toyota Corolla is the eleventh generation of the Corolla and was sold internationally from 2013 to 2024. Two basic front and rear styling treatments are fitted to the E170—a North American version that debuted first—and a more conservative design for all other markets that debuted later in 2013. For the Japanese and Hong Kong markets, the smaller Japanese-made E160 model is offered instead; the Japanese-made version remains compliant with Japanese government dimension regulations. The E170/E180 has an increased wheelbase that is longer than the previous generation. The E170/E180 was derived from the Toyota New MC platform, unlike the E160, which was based on the B platform.
International E170 version The E170 series represents the ASEAN, Australasian, Middle Eastern, South Asian, and North American family of the eleventh-generation Corolla sedan. It shares the New MC platform with the E180 but uses a different body-in-white, electrical architecture, and regional powertrain options. Produced mainly in Thailand, Taiwan, and North America, it was marketed as the Corolla Altis in much of Asia and retained conventional torsion-beam rear suspension across all trims.

Toyota shutdown the production on 31 March 2020 due to declining sales and did not engineer to meet the Bharat Stage 6 emission standards which came into effect in April. As such, the E210 model would not be introduced to India, making the E170 model as the last Corolla Altis model to be sold in the country.
Indonesia Indonesia was the first ASEAN country to get the new Corolla Altis, released on 8 January 2014. Unlike the previous generation, it was released with the 1.8-litre Dual VVT-i engine only, the 2.0-litre Dual VVT-i engine was withdrawn due to small sales. Only 2 variants are offered, the 1.8 G manual transmission and the 1.8 V automatic transmission. The Indonesian market Corolla Altis received its facelift on 16 January 2017 with 7 airbags.
Malaysia In Malaysia, the Corolla Altis was launched in January 2014 and came in three variant forms, the base 1.8 E, the 2.0 G and the range-topping 2.0 V.

Initially it was offered with eight trim levels, XLi, GLi, GLi Automatic, Altis 1.6 Automatic, Altis 1.8, Altis Grande 1.8, Altis 1.8 CVT-i and Altis Grande 1.8 CVT-i.

In 2021, Toyota introduced another minor facelift to the eleventh generation Corolla with new front and rear bumpers as well as new side skirts.

The Altis 1.6 variants retained the older 4-speed automatic transmission.
For the 2023 model year, Toyota decided to further consolidate the offerings by discontinuing the Altis 1.6 with the 4-speed automatic transmission and launching a new trim of the Altis 1.6 with the same 7-speed CVT-i transmission as the 1.8-liter variants.
As of November 2025, there are five variants available, only one with a 6-speed manual transmission while the remaining four all use the same 7-speed automatic CVT-i transmission.
