About the Toyota Auris

The Toyota Auris was introduced in 2006 to replace the Corolla Allex and Runx in Japan and the Corolla hatchback in Europe. Toyota’s intention with this car was to provide all the functional attributes of a modern hatchback but at a sensible price. The Auris was a significant upgrade from the original Corolla hatchback and Corolla Alex/Runx. It has a sportier exterior and a lower center of gravity that allows for excellent handling. Its hybrid engine options also enable it to achieve excellent fuel economy. The Auris’ main competitors include the Nissan Pulsar, Peugeot 308, Ford Focus, and the Vauxhall Astra.
