In addition, the equipment includes a steering column with telescopic and vertical adjustments, dividing armrests; every Auris has a large number of storage compartments in the cabin, including two glove compartments and a box under the front passenger seat, leather steering wheel and heated front seats. The Prestige package, which is offered with a 1.6-liter engine, adds an engine start button, dual-zone climate control, contactless system access to the car and starting the engine “Smart Entry & Push Start”.

Under the hood of the Toyota Auris is one of two gasoline engines: 1.4 liters with a power of 97 hp. and 1.6 liters with 124 hp. with dual VVT-i. The more powerful engine is equipped with a five-speed manual transmission or a robotic five-speed MultiMode transmission. The 1.4 liter engine is available only with a manual transmission; in this basic version, the Auris accelerates to 100 km/h in 13 seconds, with a top speed of 170 km/h, average consumption fuel - 6.9 l/100km. With a 1.6-liter engine, acceleration time is reduced to 12.1 seconds, top speed is increased to 190 km/h, and average consumption is 7.1 l/100 km with manual transmission and 6.9 l/100 km with robotic transmission.

Toyota Auris is equipped with a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion bar rear suspension. It is equipped with electric power steering, as well as disc brakes at the front (ventilated) and rear. Auris length is 4220 mm, width - 1760 mm, height - 1.52 meters. The minimum turning radius is 5.2 m. The Prestige trim level differs from the Elegance in 16-inch alloy wheels versus 15-inch steel wheels. The ground clearance of the Auris (155 mm) should be sufficient for Russian operating conditions, although it may not be superfluous to replace the plastic boot on the bottom with a full-fledged crankcase protection.

Even in the simplest configuration, the car is equipped with ten airbags. According to the independent test center Euro NCAP, Toyota Auris received the maximum rating for crash tests. passive safety. Such a high result was achieved, first of all, thanks to the airbag for the legs and the steering column, which does not injure the driver even in a frontal collision. There are Isofix child seats in the rear and the front seats have new design protecting passengers from back and neck injuries. Analysis of Euro NCAP tests showed that knee pad Safety Toyota Auris protects well not only the knees, but also the driver’s hips. The Auris is also equipped with ABS with EBD brake force distribution and BA emergency braking. More expensive equipment includes cruise control, rain and light sensors.

One of the disadvantages of the model is the large front overhang, so you should park near curbs with caution. Also, owners often express complaints about the “robot”. At the same time, according to the manufacturer, Toyota Auris embodies the ideas of high comfort, excellent style and convenience of a car for everyday urban use. This is answered by the good functionality of the model coupled with practicality. For example, the luggage compartment has a volume of 354 liters, which increases to 761 liters with the rear seats folded down. The first generation Auris was updated in 2009.

New Toyota Auris received an expressive design, increased in length, and for key markets has a whole range of engines, plus a hybrid version. In Japan, the hatchback has been sold since 2012; in Europe, the car appeared in 2013, at the same time the car came to Russia. By the way, for the European market and Russia, Toyota Auris is assembled in the UK in the city of Burnaston.

At first glance, Toyota Auris is very reminiscent of Toyota Corolla. The front part of the body and the interior are generally made as a carbon copy. There is a simple explanation for this; Toyota Auris is designed on the same platform as the Corolla. In addition, in Australia and New Zealand, the Auris is called the Toyota Corolla hatchback.

As always, we didn’t get to Russia diesel engines and hybrid power point. Our customers are offered only two gasoline engines working volume 1.3 and 1.6 liters. As a transmission, the front-wheel drive Auris has a 6-speed automatic or continuously variable variator, which, according to the manufacturer, has 7 conditional operating ranges. In this case, the 1.3 engine is combined only with mechanics.

Recently shown in Britain Toyota Auris station wagon. This car is unlikely to reach us. Because if the demand for a hatchback is minimal, then they are unlikely to buy a station wagon at all. The reason is the price of the car. All the same, British assembly, for Russian buyers quite an expensive pleasure. Pricing policy Auris is generally strange. The hatchback is smaller than the Corolla sedan, the car's wheelbase is 10 cm shorter, that is, the cabin is cramped, ground clearance 10 mm less. And at the same time, Auris is more expensive than Toyota Corolla. Why overpay, and most importantly, for what!?

Exterior of the second generation Toyota Auris became much faster, sportier, fashionable LEDs appeared. The first generation of the hatch, which appeared in 2006, resembled a soap dish on wheels, with its rounded shapes. By the way, if in Russia only the 5-door Auris is officially offered, then in other markets you can also find a 3-door body version. Next we look Auris photos for the European and, accordingly, the Russian market.

Toyota Auris interior identical to the interior of the Corolla. There is hard but good quality dark plastic all around, and in the center console there is a touchscreen monitor for the multimedia system. If you compare the dimensions of the Corolla and Auris interiors, it turns out that the length of the interior space in the sedan is 1930 mm (width 1485 mm, height 1190 mm), in the hatchback this figure is 1830 mm (width 1485 mm, height 1180 mm). That is, despite the common platform, the Toyota Auris is slightly smaller inside. Photos of the hatch's interior follow.

Luggage compartment new Toyota Auris Compared to the first generation hatchback, the trunk has increased slightly. From 350 liters to 360 liters. But if you compare this figure with the same Corolla sedan, then it has a larger volume and is 452 liters. But loading into the hatchback is more convenient, the large rear door and folding rear seats are very practical. The rear seat backrest folds in a ratio of 60 to 40.

This power unit is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. The dynamics with this engine and transmission are not impressive, acceleration to the first hundred in 12.6 seconds. However, the fuel consumption of the Toyota Auris with a 1.3-liter engine is quite good. Thus, fuel efficiency in urban conditions is only 6.6 liters of 95 gasoline. On the highway this figure is generally 4.7 liters.

Characteristics more powerful engine 1.6 liter volumes are as follows. Power 132 hp with a torque of 160 Nm. The dynamics of the Auris with this engine are better. Acceleration to hundreds takes just 10 seconds with manual transmission, with CVT – 11.1 sec. Fuel consumption is also quite moderate. In urban conditions, in combination with a manual, the engine consumes almost 8 liters, and with a CVT it consumes 7.4 liters. It is immediately worth noting that both Toyota engine Auris have 16 valves, these are typical DOHC. However, the timing drive is different.

The market prospects for the new Toyota Auris in Russia are not very optimistic. The company management also understands this. Toyota plans to sell only a few thousand Auris models in the country within a year. At the same time, the co-platform Corolla model sells much better. Sedans are chosen in Russia about ten times more often than hatchbacks.

Toyota Auris is a modern representative of the C-class, which has received the family features of the latter model range Toyota: Aigo, Yaris, Auris, Avensis. These cars have a lot common features— the shape of the hood and radiator grille, lensed optics, strongly inclined windshields. Auris replaced the Corolla hatchbacks (the sedan retained the Corolla name).

The hatchback for Europe will be released in two versions: with three and five doors. Toyota emphasizes that this is the tallest car in its class (1,515 mm). The wide body (1,760 mm) is not only an indicator of good stability on the road, but also allows all passengers to comfortably accommodate.

The name Auris conveys the very character of the car. It comes from the Latin word “aurum” - “gold” and gives rise to a feeling of weighty and noble qualities that create high values. In addition, the first two letters of the name – Au – are the chemical symbol for gold.

The expressive design of the Auris, created in the European design center of Toyota ED2, is reflected in both the bright appearance car and in the interior. The car has grown in comparison with its predecessor (9th generation Corolla hatchback) by 40 mm in length, 50 mm in width and added 100 kg of weight.

The interior of the Toyota Auris offers maximum possible space for the driver and passengers, and ergonomically located controls make the car much easier to control. The distance between the front and rear seats has been increased to 910 mm on a wheelbase of 2600 mm, providing legroom for rear passengers. Volume luggage compartment 354 liters.

The driver's seat in the working position is shifted back - this creates more balanced driving conditions. The height of the threshold is optimal and is at the level of 590 mm, which makes it easier to enter the cabin. The position of the steering wheel is adjustable on all axes so that the driver is always comfortable. Lever hand brake is built into the center console and, just like the gearshift knob, fits perfectly in the hand.

The lines of the center console flow naturally into the main instrument panel. Its design is consistent with the elements of decoration and fittings. The silver-plated finish and soft fabric contribute to the premium feel.

Models are available in two finishes: dark gray and gray-beige. Soft fabric is used for decoration, while the relief of the door trim creates a feeling of space. Door fittings, made in a light style, combine a door handle with a lock handle in a single unit.

The suspension is impressively firm and handles road irregularities excellently. At the front there are MacPherson struts, while at the rear one of two systems is installed. Most models received a torsion beam, chosen mainly for its compactness, but more high performance Auris T180 prompted Toyota to install the system multi-link suspension, more able to cope with heavy loads when cornering at high speeds.

The car is available in several versions: with a 1.4 liter/97 hp. or 1.6 liter/124 hp gasoline engine, or with one of three modifications of the diesel engine (1.4 l; 2.0 l; 2.2 l). All power units comply with Euro-4 standards. Petrol and diesel engines will receive a manual transmission with five or six speeds. Large petrol and small diesel engines are also available with Toyota's Multimode gearbox, which can be used as a full automatic or manual serial mode gear shift.

Despite its sporty nature, Auris perfectly protects its owner and his passengers on the road. Thus, having passed the NCAP Euro crash test for passenger protection, the car received a maximum rating of five stars. The model is based on a solid body structure with excellent safety features. Nine airbags are included, including a driver knee airbag.

Auris is produced at Toyota factories in the UK and Turkey.

In 2010, Toyota Auris underwent an update. Traditionally, changes affected the appearance of the car. The car gets an updated front that includes a new grille, larger headlights, a new bumper and a revised hood design. In the rear, the lights and bumper have changed. In a word, the exterior turned out to be more aggressive. Build quality has been improved, and changes have also been made to the suspension.

Inside, the updated Auris received a modernized center console, with the addition of new finishing materials dashboard. Expanded color scheme interior trim, increased the list of basic options. All Auris are equipped with air conditioning, while top configurations have two zone climate control. Standard equipment includes an anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic system brake force distribution (EBD), four airbags, heated front seats, audio system with 4 speakers, heated and electrically adjustable mirrors.

In addition to the design of the body and interior, the range of engines has also changed, which includes more powerful, but at the same time economical engines. Gasoline engines Toyota models Auris 2010 equipped with dual VVT-i. The “weakest” and most affordable is the 1.3-liter, 101 horsepower, equipped with a six-speed manual transmission. Maximum speed This version has a speed of 175 km/h, acceleration time from zero to hundreds is 13.1 seconds, average fuel consumption is 6 liters per 100 km. Next come engines with a volume of 1.6 liters, of different power - 124 and 136 hp. Auris Hybrid Drive (HSD) began production in May 2010, it has a 1.8-liter engine combined with an electric motor, resulting in low CO2 emissions and low fuel consumption. There are two transmissions: a 6-speed manual, and instead of capricious robotic mechanics, the car received a 4-speed automatic, proven over the years.

The luggage compartment is a decent size, but the opening is too high. The rear seats fold 60/40 in one motion into a nearly flat floor, which combined with the high headroom allows for the loading of very large items.

The second generation of the model debuted at the Paris Auto Show in the fall of 2012.

Auris 2013 model year embodied a new face Toyota brands. Narrow and long headlights that merge into the radiator grille are referred to as Keen Look, and the large trapezoidal air intake at the bottom of the bumper focuses attention on the lower part (this is how another component of the company’s new ideology can be translated - Under Priority). The car's design has become more dynamic and aggressive. The producers took this step not by chance: the creators carried out such a facelift in order to attract a younger audience. The new Toyota Auris profile has an unusual stylish look, thanks to the hood, which has acquired a sloping shape, the A-pillars, which are slightly tilted back, and the C-pillar, which consists of three corners.

Changed noticeably overall dimensions car. The model has become 30 mm longer (4275 mm), the height of the Auris 2013 is 55 mm less (1460 mm), and the width remains the same (1760 mm). The wheelbase has also not changed and is 2600 mm. Ground clearance reduced from 150 to 140 mm.

Toyota says that the 2013 Auris has become significantly lighter than its predecessor: depending on the modification, the curb weight (car plus driver) of the hatchback has become 40-100 kg less. The vehicle's weight has been reduced due to the use of lighter, high-strength steel. The drag coefficient has been reduced by approximately 0.01 Cx to 0.28 Cx, another change from the previous model. All this resulted in a significant reduction in fuel consumption. The acceleration time to 100 km/h of the 1.3-liter version has decreased by half a second (now 12.6 s), the 1.6-liter modification with a manual still reaches a hundred in 10 s, and with an automatic it is almost a second faster (11.0 s) .

The interior has also undergone changes. The finishing began to be made only from high-quality materials, and has the addition of unusual inserts that are designed to imitate metal. The adjustment of the driver's seat has been improved and the thickness of the steering wheel has been increased. If buyers wish, heated seats and massage units can be built into the front seats. The backlighting of instruments and monochrome screens began to shine blue instead of yellow, and the interior door handles no longer copied the exterior ones. For rear seats The developers have provided seat tilt adjustment. High-quality sound insulation completes the picture.

For fans of sports driving, in cars equipped with a CVT transmission, it is possible to switch to the “M” control mode, where speeds can be switched with special “petals” under the steering wheel (a la a sports car!).

IN basic equipment Comfort now includes such useful options as climate control, stabilization and hill start assistance systems, and electric adjustment of the driver's lumbar support. In addition, the standard “package” includes daily running lights, a center armrest between the front seats, 16-inch wheels instead of 15-inch ones, and a USB input.

The Auris station wagon will also be released on the markets of Europe and a number of other countries, although the appearance of such cars on the Russian market is unlikely. The model will be assembled in several countries, in Russian market cars from Turkey will be included.
