90BHP will not be underpowered for normal sedan. Again it will not make it sporty enough, but should be adequate for Indian driving conditions.
This is a great news for me. My Dad has always loved Corolla and then Altis but was turned off by the lack of diesel engine. Depending on price, it could be a right replacement for our almost 1 lac km old Logan DLS.
I don't think 90 BHP would be underpowered, they'd compensate it with flexibility and power delivery. Toyota cars' performance would be adequate enough for our roads.

In Delhi? Then i guess we would have a detailed report on it. Is there any visual changes expected?
NEW DELHI: Toyota Kirloskar Motors on Wednesday launched the diesel version of Corolla Altis at a price of Rs 10.95 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi. The car will be available in three variants D4DJ, D4DG and D4DGL. The top end model would cost Rs 13.75 lakh.
The Altis earlier came with a petrol engine and Toyota hopes to corner a higher share of this fast-growing segment with the diesel version. The petrol Altis is currently available between Rs 10 lakh and Rs 14 lakh in Delhi (ex-showroom price).
The changes in the new model are mainly limited to the engine and the exterior remains more or less the same.
The Altis diesel is powered by a 1.4 litre common rail diesel engine capable of producing 88.4PS and a torque of 205 Nm. Transmission duties are handled by a manual six-speed gearbox.
While the power specs might not sound very exciting the fuel efficiency figures certainly make for a heavier wallet. Toyota claims the fuel efficiency to be 21.4 kmpl, which is one of the best figures in the diesel segment.

Decent price.But heard the engine is extremely unresponsive.Low on power & has a massive turbo lag.
Definately for the chauffeur driven.
Would be a hit in the taxi market.

We can wait and watch everything.
Here is the Autocar India review.
I expect to see a dent in Civic and Corolla Petrol sales.
This holds true if the 'oldies' are Fleet owners like car hire, hotel, MNCs, Govt, dept.s etc. who have until now been using the Corolla Petrol, and the salaried class who can afford to buy a civic but end up with a Linea or Laura for the sake of low fuel cost etc.
