Product Overview

Toyota Auris 2 (chassis code E180) is an affordable compact hatchback in production from 2012 to 2018. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.2 to 2.0 liters.
Compared to the Mk1 Auris, the Mk2 Auris has a sharper yet less elegant exterior design. Toyota used a range of slightly smaller yet similarly-powered engines. Gone was the automatic transmission, and CVTs came in their place.
Toyota has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it. Another plus is the small 10.4m (34.1ft) turning circle.

External Reviews

Reviewer score 33% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from carmagazine have found:
Lower centre of gravity has allowed softer springs, improving the ride with no rock ‘n’ roll in the corners. The 1.6 whispers along at motorway speeds, gear-shifting is slick and the ratios fine. At between £14,495 and £21,745 (with Hybrids from £19,995), the new Auris is an improvement on the old, but more of an uprising than a full-on revolution.
Pros
  • Comfortable ride
  • Comfortable to drive
Cons
  • Slightly heavier than the GT86
  • Uninspiring handling
