2014 Toyota Auris

The 2014 Toyota Auris (E180 Second Generation) is a popular C-segment compact hatchback (and Touring Sports estate) designed with sharp, European-inspired styling, an aerodynamic low-slung profile, and a versatile cabin layout. Visually characterized by Toyota's "Keen Look" front grille, swept-back halogen or LED projector headlights, dynamic lower air intakes, side character creases, and a prominent rear bumper with integrated diffuser styling, the 2014 Auris represented a major leap in driving dynamics over its predecessor due to its lower center of gravity and stiffer chassis. Trims across global and Japanese domestic markets include the 150X, 180G, RS (sport grade), and dedicated Hybrid models.Under the bonnet, the 2014 Auris offers a range of efficient petrol, hybrid, and diesel engine options: an entry-level 1.5-liter 1NZ-FE 4-cylinder petrol ($109\text{ PS} / 138\text{ Nm}$ - JDM), a 1.8-liter 2ZR-FAE Valvematic petrol ($144\text{ PS} / 180\text{ Nm}$), and a highly acclaimed 1.8-liter 2ZR-FXE Hybrid powertrain combining a petrol engine with an electric motor for a total output of 136 PS (134 hp / 100 kW). Transmissions include a Super CVT-i automatic with 7-speed simulated manual mode, a 6-speed manual (standard on RS), or an electronic CVT (e-CVT) on Hybrid variants. Inside, the cabin features driver-centric ergonomics, soft-touch dashboard materials, a high-set center console with an integrated touchscreen display, leatherette or fabric seats, dual-zone or single-zone automatic climate control, and a versatile 60/40 split fold-flat rear seating design that provides generous luggage capacity.
