The new, third-generation Toyota Auris was unveiled today at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. The new Auris offers a new dynamic design and the new option of a brand new 2.0-litre full hybrid electric system.
As announced by Toyota Motor Europe on February 28th 2018, Toyota Manufacturing UK’s Burnaston plant will be the centre of production for the new Toyota Auris. The current Auris powertrain line-up consists of five conventional engines and one hybrid powertrain. Reflecting on the movement towards hybrid and Toyotas focus on hybrid technology, the new Auris will offer customers just one conventional engine – a 1.2 litre turbo petrol unit along with a choice of 120bhp, 1.8 litre or 177bhp, 2,0 litre hybrid electric powertrain.
The 1.8 litre system meets the requirements that customers expect from a Toyota Hybrid, that it is silent, low cost of ownership, great fuel economy, no need to plug-in and low C02 emissions to name a few.
The 2.0 litre system maintains these benefits and takes full advantage of the added ride comfort, stability, handling and driving enjoyment inherent in the new Auris’s Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform. It will offer drivers an ‘energised drive,’ with more power and steering wheel-mounted shift paddles for a more dynamic, engaging driving experience.
Simon Humphries, Executive General Manager at Toyota Global Design commented on the design of the new Auris:
“Our primary goal with the new Auris was to create the most bold and dynamic hatchback on the market, without compromising interior usability,’”
“Harnessing the low centre of gravity afforded by the TNGA layout, the vehicle is light and agile in the side view, yet as we move to the rear, the architecture transforms to create a solid, wide and low stance that is absolutely critical for the European market.”
Overall length has increased by 40mm, all of which is contained within a longer wheelbase. The overall height has been reduced by 25mm. The modifications made to height and length have resulted in a sleeker shape along with a lower bonnet, improving safety by giving the driver a clearer view.
The new Auris design has an optional bi-tone colour scheme, which combines the body colour with a black finish to the roof and pillars.
We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
