If you're in the market for a family hatchback that's affordable to run and great value, then a used Toyota Auris is a great choice. As a British-built family car, the Auris is dependable and comes with a variety of powertrain options, with the self-charging hybrid being the most popular. It's a practical car that prioritises comfort, making it good for everyday commuting in the city as well as longer motorway trips.
Toyota provided several different power options for the Auris, including petrol, diesel and a hybrid. There was the option of a manual or an automatic transmission, along with standard front-wheel drive.
PetrolThe Auris has more interior room than it appears, making it a practical car that's also affordable.
Interior spaceThe Toyota Auris arrived in the UK in 2006 as a replacement for the Corolla hatchback, while the saloon model retained its name. After a new generation in 2012, the Auris continued in production through 2019 before it was replaced once again with the Corolla nameplate. During the updates provided by Toyota, the Auris remained refined and fun to drive, making it appealing to younger drivers or those looking for a first car.
For the second generation, Toyota gave the Auris a bolder appearance with more angled headlights and air scoops on the front bumper sides. The V-shape grille gave it a sporty look, and a variety of wheel designs allowed for more customisation.
A 2015 update helped the Auris meet Euro 6b emission standards and provided a new front bumper with a lower, wider grille. This redesign added LED Daytime Running Lights, offering enhanced visibility.

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.

The self-charging hybrid engine option is by far the most popular choice thanks to its impressive fuel economy of up to 72mpg. It combines a 1.8-litre petrol engine with an electric motor to create 134bhp.
You can find several different trims on a used Auris, including the Active, Icon, Business Edition, Design and Excel. The Excel remains the most popular trim among Auris drivers due to upgraded alloy wheels, privacy glass and self-parking system. However, the Icon and TR trims come in close second and third.
Customers should look out for the upgraded Touch 2 multimedia system, which came on later models and is more responsive and easy to use than the previous version. Comfort can be increased with power lumbar support and heated functions on the front seats in various trims. Alcantara sports seats are also a top choice on the used market for added comfort and style.
Yes, the Auris has a spacious, comfortable interior. All models have a large boot and a good range of engines to choose from, but the Touring Sports estate model is especially good for families.
Toyota created one hybrid configuration with the Auris lineup, which consisted of an electric motor and a 1.8-litre petrol engine. It's the most efficient option between the petrol and diesel configurations produced.
Both automatic and manual gearboxes were offered throughout the Auris lineup. There's a similar amount of automatic and manual gearbox versions available on the used market.
All Toyota Auris models were built with front-wheel drive, there is no four-wheel drive option.
