Toyota Auris. 2006 to date (prod. unknown). 3- and 5-door hatchback. F/F, 1398, 1496, 1598, 1798 cm³ petrol, 1364, 1998, 2231 cm³ diesel (4 cyl. DOHC). Toyota Runx replacement, sold in some countries (Australia, New Zealand) with Corolla name. Breaking the 1700 mm width rule in Japan, the 1760 mm-wide Auris is aimed at premium hatchbacks such as the Volkswagen Golf. Refined but still dull. Fussy styling, as expected from Japanese firm, but detailing is nice for those who appreciate east Asian design.
