Overall Rating
Toyota Auris:
The Toyota Auris is a compact car derived from the Corolla, manufactured and sold by Toyota. Introduced in 2006, the first generation three/five-door hatchback shared the platform with the E150 series Corolla, while the second generation five-door hatchback and estate car called "Touring Sports" uses the E180 platform. The "Auris" name is based on the Latin word for "gold", "aurum".
In Europe, Toyota positioned the Auris as the replacement for the Corolla hatchback, while the saloon car version continued with the Corolla nameplate. Starting with the E210 model, the Auris nameplate was discontinued and used the Corolla nameplate instead, except for Taiwan, retained the Auris nameplate for the hatchback version until July 2020....(Read more on Wikipedia)

1.2 (116 Hp) start&stop Multidrive S Verdict:
Performance Verdict
The turbocharged petrol engine provides decent power, but the Multidrive S (CVT) can make it feel less engaging and slightly slower than the manual.

Good fuel economy for a petrol engine, especially considering its performance, though not as frugal as the diesels or hybrid.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Exceptional reliability and build quality
- • Outstanding fuel economy, especially with Hybrid and D-4D engines
- • Practical and spacious interior for a hatchback
- • Facelift brought improved styling and interior materials
- • Strong safety record with 5-star Euro NCAP rating
Cons:
- • Driving dynamics are competent but not particularly engaging
- • Some petrol engines can feel underpowered or less refined than rivals
