The Toyota Auris Touring Sports is the manufacturer’s take on an estate version of its family hatch. The Auris is designed in such a fashion that it reflects spaciousness and the hybrid power train that is similar to the one fitted to the other vehicles. The vehicle is quite different apparently from its close competitors and also the way it drives, but is comparatively better in comfort and refinement.

Importantly for an estate car, boot space is impressive. It is offered with a choice of petrol and a diesel engine as well as it is available as a hybrid. With a claimed average of 76.3 mileage per gallon and CO2 emissions as low as 85g/km, it could well prove a tempting proposition for personal and professional users. Based on overall rating of 3.5 on the scale of 5 and the customer reviews, many dealers offer new and used Toyota Auris touring sports 2013 at reasonable prices.

Styling

The Auris Touring Sports features ‘Keen look’ design theme and specifications. This works well on the longer estate model, particularly at the front and side, where the rising beltline makes it a sportier look car. The rear works well with balanced bumper and tail light. The interior has sophisticatedly designed slab of dashboard with leathered seats and quality plastic. The exterior and interior have compatible color combination spectrum that adds to the style and elegance of the vehicle.

Driving

The steering is light with appropriate turning diameter. The 1.6 liter petrol engine is smooth and has a slick gearbox. The hybrid offers excellent refinement around town. The Auris does feature powerful brakes and a comfortable ride, while the interior remains very quiet at the highways making driving experience peaceful in every sense.

Reliability

The Toyota Auris Touring Sports 2013 is famed for its reliability, backed up by a decent service from dealers. The firm has added extra reinforcement to the rear of the car, to ensure that the estate is almost as stiff as the hatchback. The vehicle has five stars Euro NCAP safey rating in the latest 2013 version of the test.

Practicality

The spaciousness is adequately provided. The load lip is 100mm lower and the estate is 285mm longer than the hatch, which means that with the rear seats up, there’s a useful 530 liters of space. There is option of 60:40 folding rear seats with the pull of a handle, and this increases to 1,658 liters on all models. The hybrid’s batteries are mounted under the rear seats. There is also under floor storage area and space around the interior for oddments, including a decent sized glove box. The car has three power points, with one in the boot.

Running Costs

Due to the hybrid option, CO2 emissions are cut to 85g/km on to 92g/km on different models. This cuts tax bills and fuel costs extensively. Moreover, the corporation claims cheaper maintenance which makes the vehicle lighter on pocket.
