Toyota Auris

02nd November 2006

The eagerly anticipated Toyota Corolla replacement, the Auris, has gone on sale - in Japan.

The new hatch will make its European debut at the Bologna Motor Show in Italy next month, before hitting UK dealers in February. It's one of the first Toyotas to have been styled and built in Europe. Engines range from a 1.4-litre petrol to a flagship 2.2-litre diesel.

Rear seat passengers benefit from a completely flat floor to maximise space. Meanwhile, options such as dual-zone air-conditioning and a panoramic roof will feature on high-spec variants.
