Facelift for the sedan and the station wagon

In the automotive market, it is customary to say that early restyling of a model reflecting poor sales. For the Toyota Auris, it is not. While its commercial performance remains modest about references the compact sedan segment, Volkswagen Golf and Peugeot 308 in mind. Launched early 2017 in France, the second-generation Toyota Auris has been proposed from the outset with a hybrid drive combining a petrol unit derived from the Prius in electric block. A technology appeared in 2013 on the first generation. Launched in summer 2017, the break derived Auris Touring Sports baptized was also immediately adopted the technology house Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD).

Hybrid in France: 79% of sales in 2017

In France, the only engine in 2017 represented almost 80% of sales of the model. Success related to the maturity of the hybrid mastered by Toyota - more than 7.5 million hybrid cars passed by Toyota since 1997, date of the placing on the market of the Prius - but also to the very advantageous tax reserved for models "electrified". In our latitudes, dual hybrid models benefit from a bonus "green" equivalent to 5% of the purchase price, together with a minimum of 1,000 euros and a ceiling of 2,000 euros. For companies, hybrid vehicles are partially exempt from the tax on company cars (TVS) over a period of 8 quarters. Only downside: unlike diesel, companies can not recover VAT on unleaded ...

Hybrid group of 136 bhp almost unchanged

If the hybrid represented last year 79% of sales in France, the Toyota Auris is also available in petrol and diesel. On the occasion of mid-career restyling, the manufacturer Nagoya has integrated a unique block 4 cylinder 1.2l turbo petrol 116 bhp and took over the new 1.6-liter diesel engine of 112 hp original BMW already available on Toyota Verso MPV. More sober and meet the Euro 6 standard, these two blocks will allow the heat to regain some market share. Concerning the hybrid variant, it incorporates a power train combines a gasoline engine 1.8 l VVT-i 99 hp to 80 hp electric block. Led by an automatic gearbox continuously variable (CVT type), the group is developing a total output of 136 hp (both engines delivering full power at the same time).

More statutory design and perceived quality up

For its facelift, the 2018 vintage of the Toyota Auris gets the stylistic codes of the brand: design more fluid in the front with a redesigned grille, LED optical integrating a highly successful new signature lighting, ... All is statutory, more elegant and certainly more successful than non-facelift version. Stern profit meanwhile a new shield and slightly redesigned lights. Inside, Toyota promised a sharply higher perceived quality and new instrumentation. If here and there some elements remain visible in hard plastic, the finish is up compared to the model launched in 2015. Practical, the 4.2 inch TFT screen behind the steering wheel lack of light when the sun shines. As for the new infotainment system on the center console (11 inch screen), it gains in ergonomics.

Smoothness in city

In the city, the Toyota Auris hybrid is silent and distills excellent driveability. With a small battery located under the rear seat compact sedan twin engine is heavily in electric mode, within 2 km (up to the maximum speed of 50 km / h). When the battery is dead or that the speed limit is exceeded, the petrol unit starts up. The battery is then charged via the combustion engine and the kinetic energy recovery device during braking (no external charging via a socket or terminal). As usual, the engine is quiet and the jerks absent. Besides strengthening soundproofing, Toyota engineers have perfected the suspension filter marvellously uneven road surfaces.

Objective of the hybrid: reduce consumption

Out of an urban environment, the Toyota Auris hybrid is also at ease in highway driving. Provided they do not seek the thrill, the automatic transmission CVT distil a more than acceptable driveability. We are far from the reactivity of a Volkswagen Golf PHEV GTE equipped with a DSG dual-clutch, but consumption is lower on the Auris. Provided to play the game of eco-driving ... For customers wishing to adopt a Zen driving vehicle that will make them earn euros every full, their hybrid is recommended. Boasting a combined consumption of 3.5 l / 100 km and CO2 emissions equivalent to 79g / km, the Auris Hybrid has consumed 1 liter of unleaded and more during our test mixed city / highway. A performance comparable to that displayed by the diesel engine of 112 hp.

Competition and choice hybrid / diesel

With its three driving modes - 100% electric EV, ECO dedicated to fuel economy and power for maximum power - his five trim levels and its generous standard equipment, the hybrid Auris is appealing clients. Associated with low fuel consumption, a more polished finish, a nice design and a responsive chassis on the road, these arguments in favor of dual gasoline-electric hybrid. Especially when the "ecological" bonuses makes this particularly competitive with the variant equipped with the diesel unit. Starting at 23,702 euros bonus deducted (5% of the sale price) - count 1,100 euros more for the break Touring Sports - the hybrid is slightly more expensive than diesel (from 23 000) devoid box automatic. Regarding the competition, offers its premium division Lexus CT 200h and the German Audi / Volkswagen their A3 e-tron / GTE Golf PHEV whose prices start at 35,000 euros (deducted bonus).

IN SHORT:

gasoline engine power: 99 hp

electric motor power: 80 hp

cumulative power: 136 hp

normalized combined consumption: 3.5 l / 100 km

0 to 100 Km / h: 11.2 seconds

top speed: 173 km / h
