First Generation (2007 to 2012)
The Auris was released to take over the Corolla hatchback lineup, leaving the popular nameplate to cover just the saloon models. Toyota used the letters '-is' in the name so that it would relate to the Avensis and Yaris. With the new nameplate came a completely upgraded style, designed to specifically appeal to younger buyers.
In 2010, a refreshed model arrived with sportier bumper designs on the front and back. A downward V grille was also added, though the profile looked the same. Some models came with a roof spoiler, which added some aerodynamic benefits that lowered emissions.
