Page 1 of 3 The Toyota Auris is the all-new hatchback from Toyota that replaces the Corolla hatchback with a new name. The Corolla remains as a saloon version of the car only and both will be sold side by side with different names.The new Toyota Auris is the hatchback version of what we called the Corolla in the past. There are now four engine options and prices start at €19,900 before delivery charges. Toyota claims that this new model with sets new standards in the Irish C-segment market. Its appeal factors are claimed to be distinctive styling, superior quality and excellent driving performance. Auris is based on a newly developed platform and is available in three-door and five-door body styles with a wide range of engines and transmissions, including a brand-new, advanced 1.6-litre Dual VVT-i petrol engine as well as optional MultiMode transmission. The four grade model line-up goes on sale this month. Auris demonstrates a new design approach: working from the inside out to maximise interior space and passenger comfort; creating a bold, innovative interior with a bridged centre console that clearly expresses its sporty character of the car. The car has been designed around the driver to deliver engaging driving pleasure. Auris was created in Europe at Toyota's ED2 design centre in southern France. Toyota claims that it reflects European taste, style and sophistication and it breaks the mould of current family, C-segment hatchback design. It has a 'short and tall' design shape to give compact dimensions while maximising interior space and passenger comfort.
