First impressions
That obvious from the outset Toyota has Sought to give more class Thanks to its Auris chrome outer elements and design in general more detailed. However, it's inside Where the appearance win many points thanks to higher quality materials (also depends on the version) and an interesting interior layout, starring the new multimedia color screen 7 inches, that's another thing if Compared With the previous screen.
Special mention soundproofing work it Should've Carried out the brand, using insulating materials in the engine compartment, sealed joints and other Measures That help reduce the sound That Reaches the passenger compartment. This, together with a Relatively soft and comfortable Allows suspension ride quality over the other competitors in the segment. With the new 1.2 turbo petrol engine, for example, idling just Heard from inside.
This engine is smooth and blends well With the six-speed gearbox Manual all the range (only the hybrid can be automatic). The dose of power is enough to Move With some agility to Auris and Not particularly slow or lazy. During our journey of just over 70 kilometers, with many urban areas, some secondary roads and some motorway, we got a consumer, ACCORDING to the onboard computer, was around seven liters per hundred kilometers.

We, for example, onboard computer we tracked consumption of 5.4 liters per hundred kilometers, at a similar distance to terms That made with the gasoline engine.
