Toyota Auris Sport

Toyota has unveiled a wagon variant of its european auris compact for the paris motor show. dubbed the auris tourer sports, the wagon joins the auris sedan and auris hatchback in toyotas european lineup.

set to actually compete with vehicles just like the ford focus and opel astra, the all-new auris tourer sports marks the very first time toyota has offered a wagon body vogue within the whole auris lineup. the auris tourer sports borrows the vast majority of its style cues direct from auris hatchback, other then offers customers a abundant larger loadspace.

Making its world premiere at the 2012 Paris motor show, the new Auris Touring Sports will be the first in the segment to be available with a full hybrid powertrain.

While it retains the same 2,600mm wheelbase as the hatchback, the estate model is 285mm longer overall, all of which is accounted for in the extended load space – though Toyota does not provide any specific numbers.

The Touring Sports also has the same front-end design as the five-door modelm but gains a different glass area with an extended roofline featuring anodised aluminium rails and an integrated rear spoiler. Furthermore, the redesigned rear end of the car features an 80mm lower sill.

Besides a hybrid powerplant borrowed direct from prius, the auris touring sports may also be on the market from launch along with the same 1. 33 dual vvt-i and 1. 6 valvematic petrol and 1. 4 d-4d diesel units offered within the whole hatchback.

commonplace features on several models embody seven airbags, a fresh follow-me-home lighting system, hill-start assist management, vehicle stability management and led daytime running lights.
The Auris touring sports can reach european showrooms in early 2013.
