Should you buy the Grande facelift?
Buy it if you want Toyota's resale value and service network with a fresher look and modern phone connectivity. The new parking sensors are useful in tight Quetta markets such as Jinnah Road and Liaquat Bazaar.
Think twice if you wanted a big technology update. The engine, gearbox and safety kit are unchanged, there are still only two airbags, and there is no hybrid or driver-assist system. If you need those, compare the Corolla Cross Hybrid.
If you own a pre-facelift Altis X Grande, the main reasons to upgrade are the new look, the parking sensors and wireless CarPlay. Note that the facelift no longer lists the old front camera and Toyota Connect.
In Quetta, Toyota Indus lists three authorised dealers: Toyota Chiltan Motors, Toyota Quetta Motors and Toyota Zarghoon Motors. See their addresses, phone numbers and map pins, or compare Corolla prices and variants.
