Even the current model of Corolla was available in both 1.6 Gli and 1.6 Altis.
Gli 1.6 was auto, whereas Altis 1.6 was available in auto as well as manual.
Difference is not much. Same body, same engine. Altis has just some more accessories.
However, the new Corolla Gli, as per current info, will be 1.3L, both auto and manual.
