Representing the first step in Toyota's product offensive in the European C-Segment, the new Toyota Auris is bolder more dynamic better equipped and cheaper to run than ever before
The new Auris reflects Toyota's determination to engineer more appealing, dynamically engaging cars and builds on a long established reputation for quality, durability and reliability
It offers bolder, more confident and sleek styling a higher quality interior design, improved driving dynamics and further enhancements to the technical leadership of its flagship full hybrid model
Aerodynamic improvements, weight savings and engine enhancements have seen fuel consumption and CO2 emission reductions across the range, further lowering running costs and the Total Cost of Ownership.
Toyota is the world's leading producer of C-segment vehicles with 39 million units sold in over 140 countries since the introduction of the Corolla in 1966 The launch of the Toyota Auris Hybrid in 2010 made Toyota the first manufacturer to offer a choice of three powertrains in the C-segment.
Designed for the European market, its largest volume market, the new Auris will be built at Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK alongside the Avensis, reinforcing the company's commitment to its European operations
TMUK celebrates its 20th anniversary this year with 3,265,000 vehicles produced since start of operations in 1992. Toyota Auris production currently stands at some 418,000 units

Improved Packaging
At 4,275 mm the overall length of the new Auris has increased by 30 mm, though its wheelbase remains the same at 2,600 mm The front and rear overhangs have both increased by just 15 mm, and the Auris remains one of the most compact cars in its class.
Significantly, the frontal projected surface area of Toyota Auris has been reduced by 4% over the current model and, without impacting on passenger accommodation, its overall height lowered by 55 mm (the cabin by 45 mm and the ride height by 10 mm), making it one of the lowestvehicle in the segment. In combination, these changes offer considerable aerodynamic benefits, contributing to improved fuel efficiency and driving dynamics.
The extensive use of high tensile steel in the bodyshell construction has helped to reduce the overall weight of the new Auris by up to 40 kg, whilst its overall reduction in height has also lowered the centre of gravity. The seat height has been reduced by 40 mm and the steering wheel tilt angle lowered by 2 degrees, creating a more engaging driving position with a low hip point.
A new front seat design increases rear seat knee room by 20 mm, and the rear door opening width has been enlarged. The loadspace length has been increased by 50 mm and the tailgate opening width increased by 90 mm. Featuring the added flexibility of a dual-level loadspace deckboard and 60:40 split-folding rear seats, all versions, including the hybrid, offer an increased luggage capacity of 360 litres

More Dynamic Exterior Design
Designed to maximise the benefits of a reduced overall height and lower centre of gravity, the new Auris features an all-new exterior with more confident, sleek, and dynamic styling.
Nowhere is the next generation Toyota Auris' confidence and agility more immediately apparent than in its new frontal design. The new face of Toyota combines the company's Under Priority grille design style with Keen Look headlamp and LED Daytime Running Light DRL detailing to bring boldness to the Auris range and a markedly more powerful road presence.
The Under Priority design features a large, trapezoidal lower grille set within the front bumper, and a smaller upper grille running full width between the new headlamps.
Beneath a low sweeping bonnet line dominated by a new, larger Toyota badge which is set lower than its predecessor, the upper grille features a central, chrome-plated horizontal trim bar which is visually extended into the headlamp clusters to accentuate the width of the vehicle.
Within the narrower more purposefully styled headlamp clusters, the horizontal chrome trim bar flows into an 'eyebrow' form which accentuates the exceptionally narrow clearance between the bonnet and the Bi-HID High Intensity Discharge or halogen lamp projector unit. This highly innovative headlamp packaging also incorporates LED Daytime Running Lights DRLs Fitted as standard on all grades, they give the new Auris a unique visual signature
Flanked by integral foglamp housings with chrome surround detailing, the large lower grille combines a piano black finish with a floating, lower chrome accent to the lip spoiler once again accentuating the width of the new Toyota Auris and emphasising its planted solid stance
In profile, beneath a steeply raked windscreen flowing seamlessly into and new lower drag reducing stepped roofline, an equally dramatic styling change sees a lengthening of the side glazing into three panels above a stronger more pronounced rising belt line crease
The door mirror has been repositioned within the glazed area, blacked-out pillars include a piano black finish to the B pillar and allied to a chrome accented beltline trim a sweeping more dynamic treatment of the rear pillar further accentuates the new Auris lower more elegant and sporting silhouette
The new Toyota Auris' ride height has been lowered by 10 mm, narrowing the gap between the wheel arches and tyres, and aligning the wheel more closely with the bodywork to further accentuate the new vehicle's sleeker more streamlined appearance And a choice of wheels includes a new 15 and 16 wheelcap design and 16 and 17 alloys.
To the rear a wider opening tailgate features powerful convex and concave surfacing. It is topped by an integral roof spoiler and flanked by a new, wraparound rear combination lamp design which reinforces the shape of both the rear wing and rear screen as well as the added strength of the shoulder over the rear wheel arch The new bumper with reflectors integrated at the extremities reinforces the new Toyota Auris' broad stable and sporting rear stance.
The new Auris will be available in a choice of ten exterior colours of which four Grey Avant-Garde Bronze, Dark Steel and Blue are new Pearl White is exclusive to full hybrid models
