Derived from the Toyota Corolla, the Auris is the Japanese brand’s answer to the compact hatchback segment. Because the E180-gen is in production since 2012, Toyota treated it with a mid-cycle facelift.
Of course, most of the updated bits and bobs are cosmetic in nature, but you know what? If anything, the Toyota Auris only needed a little botox. Although it made its European debut at Geneva in March, the company didn't detail the Euro-spec model yet.
But if you visit Toyota.jp, you’ll find that the JDM-spec Toyota Auris facelift is available with three engine options. On the naturally aspirated front, we have an entry-level 1NZ-FE 1.5L four-pot and a 2ZR-FAE 1.8L.
The range-topping 2015 Toyota Auris 120T (2,590,037 yen / €19,765 or $21,780 at current rates) benefits from a brand new 1.2L turbo four-cylinder engine with 116 PS (114 HP) and 185 Nm (136 lb-ft) of torque.
The latter is only available together with a Super CVT-i gearbox and in front-wheel drive format. If you want a six-speed manual transmission and AWD, then the 1.8L mill is the one for you. Last but not least, the entry-level 2015 Toyota Auris C-Package 1.5-liter offers as standard with Super CVT-i and front-wheel drive for 1,789,855 yen (€13,658 / $15,045). If you need AWD, that will be 1,984,255 yen (€15,141 / $16,677).
At the present moment, there’s not intel on the availability of a hybridized 2015 Toyota Auris facelift in the Land of the Rising Sun. Howbeit, the all-new 1.2-liter turbo mill may suffice on all levels for the vast majority of buyers. Thanks to an average of 4.7 l/100 km (50 US mpg / 60 UK mpg) and a 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) runof 10.1 seconds, opting for a hybrid is an option reserved only for the eco-conscious crowd.
