While Toyota has recently suffered from image problems and missed and late recalls on several of their models, but the Europe-only Auris Hybrid hatchback that will hit the UK market in July could help recoup their image.
The Auris hybrid will come in two models, the Hybrid T4 and Hybrid T Spirit, both featuring Hybrid Synergy Drive Technology and will be priced at £18,950 and £20,700 respectively.
Built at Toyota’s Burnaston plant, it uses the same body shell as the traditional Auris hatch and features two electric motors and a 1.8 litre VVT-i petrol engine. The Auris HSD has four driving modes, including zero-emisisons EV mode, that are optimised for different driving conditions with CO2 emissions as low as 89g/km, and will offer an economy potential up to 74.3mpg on the official combined driving cycle.
