The Toyota Auris is a five-door tourism and 4.28 meters long. It is on sale from 16 740 euros with a gasoline engine of 132 hp and six-speed manual. In mid-2013 will be offered with a familiar body-called Auris Touring Sports, something that did not happen with the previous generation Auris.
The engine range consists of two diesel versions - "90D" 90 hp and "120D" of 124 hp, a fuel - "130" of 132 hp, and a hybrid - "Hybrid" 136 hp. In other European markets will be also possible to purchase a gasoline engine of 1.33 liters and 99 hp.
I have thoroughly tested the diesel version and briefly 124 hp 136 hp Hybrid. Both engines have proper operation, although the hybrid version is much smoother and quieter at low speeds.
The 124 hp diesel engine is not particularly quiet, nor cold nor hot. Has a good relationship between performance and consumption because it accelerates well from low revs and uses little fuel.
The driveability is good because the suspension is comfortable and the cabin is well isolated acoustically from the outside, but their control is not perceived the same finesse that conveys a SEAT Leon or Volkswagen Golf .
In aparatado of driving impressions more information on engine performance and driving.
The interior has enough space for four adults to upper-middle class traveling in comfort, taking back an amplitude similar to that of a Volkswagen Golf and higher than that of a Ford Focus . The headroom in the rear seats dramatically decreases when installing the glass sunroof. The trunk is large (360 liters).
The quality of the materials used on the dashboard and the door panels is generally good, with the parts that are more to the view that better touch with.
The diesel engine of 90 hp has a fuel average consumption of 3.8 l/100 km when installing the optional 'Eco Pack 99g "which includes an automatic start stop and arrests (" Stop & Start ") and a 15-inch wheels. This consumption is the lowest among the alternatives by size and power.
The hybrid version also has an average fuel consumption of 3.8 l/100 km (with alloy wheels of 15 inches), which is the same value that replaces type approval, although the new faster speeds. Except for a diesel model, there is only one car that has similar features like consumption, the Lexus CT 200h , with which it shares the propulsion system.
All versions have a standard manual gearbox with six speeds, except hybrid that is automatic (it has a planetary gear without fixed gears). For the petrol engine's optional 132 hp an automatic continuously variable-named "Multidrive" or "M-DRV", with which is slower but consumes less; and the 90 hp diesel version no manual option of an automatic for the clutch and gear selection, known as "COMFORTdrive" or "C-DRV" -.
Equipment and Price
There are three trim levels available: 'Live', 'Active' and 'Advance' . The first, "Live" only be combined with the 90 hp diesel engine and comes standard with seven airbags (including a driver's knee), touch screen to control the radio with CD and MP3 devices USB, climate control and hill start assistant. The level "Active" is available for all engines and added to the "Live" the following: Bluetooth, rear parking camera, fog lights and alloy wheels of 16 inches and more.
Finally, the level 'Advance' is only for the diesel hybrid version of 124 hp and added to all the above a system parking aid, keyless entry and start, automatic lights and wipers, automatic switching between short and long lights, leather and cloth upholstery, xenon headlights for short and long, 17-inch wheels. In all versions option is the navigation system, there are two versions of 'Touch & Go' and 'Touch & Go + "- perforated leather upholstery and a panoramic glass roof' Skyview '.
The Toyota Auris is available from 17 250 euro with a diesel engine of 90 hp. Compared to some of the alternatives by size, equipment, engine type and power is more expensive than a KIA cee'd andPeugeot 308 , similar to a Hyundai i30 and Renault Mégane and below a SEAT León and Ford Focus.
The Toyota Auris 120D with Active trim level is available from 18 950 euros. It is a higher price than 5p a KIA cee'd 1.6 CRDi VGT 128 HP and lower than a Hyundai i30 1.6 CRDI 128 hp. A SEAT Leon with 105 hp diesel engine is clearly more expensive.
The Toyota Auris Hybrid is priced at 20,700 euros to the level of termination "Active" and 23 200 with the "Advance". There are many models of similar power size and more affordable, both diesel and gasoline version, but none of them has a fuel consumption as low, except the Lexus CT 200h and EcoDynamics KIA cee'd 1.6 CRDi 128 hp. The first is 9250 euros more expensive than the Toyota and the second is 117 euros cheaper and has a more abundant equipment.
Further details and cost of insurance
The Auris body measures 4.28 meters long, 1.76 wide and 1.46 high, is 3 centimeters longer, same width and 5.5 inches shorter than the Auris, 2010 -. However, the wheelbase and track width does not change because the platform is broadly the same as the model it replaces, although many structural changes to make it more lightweight and rigid.
In terms of lightness, Toyota says the new Auris is on average 50 kilograms lighter than the previous-for example, in the case of the petrol version of 132 hp is 55 kg less; - and 70 kg in the For the hybrid version. This reduction has been achieved, among other reasons, to change the type of alloy steel in certain parts of the structure and reduce the weight of all the seats. Regarding the rigidity, Toyota ensures that torsional strength of the structure is 10% higher.
The drag coefficient is 0.28 -0.277 Cx more precisely, for all versions, including the hybrid. Depending on the brand factor drag SCx is 0.61, lower than the previous clearly Auris 0.67. Toyota cites several factors as primarily responsible for the improvement of aerodynamic data: the body is lower and is 10 millimeters closer to the ground, a number of small baffles in the bottom of the body, a new, small spoiler at the top of the windscreen and roof design.
There are two types of rear suspension, something that more and occurs more in cars of this size and that it happened in the previous Auris, with the former 177 hp diesel version. The less powerful version (the Diesel 90 hp) has a simpler system (spins wheels connected by a torsion beam ) and the rest are independent type (of parallelogram ).
Ensure all risk one Auris diesel engine with 124 hp and level of equipment "Advance" has a minimum annual cost of 1030.99 euros for a single conductor 30, a resident of Zaragoza, to scroll between 15 000 and 20 000 kilometers year.
