Toyota Launches Auris Compact in Japan

Featured Replies

Toyota Motor Corporation announced today the Japanese launch of the Auris*ΒΉ, a strategic compact passenger vehicle for both Japan and Europe. In Japan, the Auris is available through β€œNetz” dealers nationwide, replacing the Allex and Corolla RunX. The new Toyota Auris will be revealed in Europe at the Bologna Motor Show on December 5 and will go on sale in the UK from February 2007 and across Europe in spring 2007.

Auris will join Yaris and Avensis as a new core model designed and built in Europe … more

Originally considered only for Canada, it may now be offered in the US as well, although Toyota Motor Sales has not yet confirmed either market.

Note the Japanese-market version has a Netz badge on the front, not a Toyota badge.

Yes. Definitely a lot better looking than the butt ugly ECHO and YARIS.

Looks like it's the same general size as the Yaris - I'd think they'd have to have one or the other, not both.

I dunno if it's "better" looking than the Yaris, but the interior is much better, especially since the guaes are in the right place.

I think that is the 5dr version of the Yaris...sure looks like the 3dr Yaris sold in the US but with two extra doors...

It looks like a slightly bigger version of the Yaris. If this is the design that they are pushing back the Corolla until 2008 for, I'm unimpressed. It's certainly not ground-breaking and compared to the new Civic, it looks too "cute" like the current Corolla.

In that respect it also resembles the new Camry, a deliberate styling choice by Toyota. the overall design though is an evolution of the current Corolla 5-door hatchβ€”just longer and wider.
