How do you like this advice: “Take the roundabout, and then take the third exit onto Scheipshitrier Street”? The standard navigation, leading me along the coast of Portugal, began to annoy. The system slowed down and got confused at the interchanges, and voice guidance ignored the norms of the Russian language. The names of Portuguese streets that are ridiculous for our ears to the electronic navigator are excusable, but words like “drive in” are too much.
"Toyota-Auris" in the base, with a 1.3-liter engine and mechanics, costs 735, 000 rubles. A version with a 1.6 liter engine will cost at least 774, 000 rubles, and a version with a variator costs from 814, 000 rubles

The new "Toyota-Auris", for nothing that speaks with an accent, is a young lady with enviable external data. Its forms are the fruit of creativity of the European design center of the company. The international team, I must say, succeeded: I admire the Toyota.
The front overhang is low. A little more, and a bottle of water about 200 mm high rests against the plastic of the bumper. No wonder: the ground clearance has decreased by 10 mm (140 mm)

But behind the distance is more than sufficient

Compared with the previous generation, the novelty is lower by 55 mm, ground clearance has decreased by 10 mm. Under the bottom in the area of the crankcase, on the sides, in the fuel tank, plastic shields were placed. All this allowed not only to reduce noise in the cabin, but also to reduce the drag coefficient to 0.28 (previously Cx was 0.29). So, the car has become more economical.

All tables open in full size with a click of the mouse.
For the convenience of the driver and passengers, the seats were lowered by 40 mm, and the tilt of the steering column was changed to 2º. It’s more comfortable to sit. Armchairs - with the usual lateral support for a car of this class and large strokes of height and length adjustments True, the armrest is narrow. With intensive taxiing, it interferes with tall drivers. Finally, automatic door closers for all doors appeared, but only in the most expensive version.
Salon without frills, but good quality. The quality of materials and workmanship is on top

The front panel (by the way, its shape is typically Japanese) is a set of contradictions. The upper part is made of nice soft plastic, and the bottom is made of oak. A good color display, which displays the navigation map and the image from the rear view camera. But why the tiny screen of the watch located just above? Old fashioned. The narrower backs made it possible to carve 20 mm for the legs sitting behind, an almost flat floor - as a hint: three riders will not feel hurt.
The back cushion is pretty thick. The back can be laid out in a proportion of 60:40. In the doorway are automatic power window keys

Stop looking at her, let him show himself in action! At my disposal "Auris" with a 1.6-liter engine in 132 hp and "mechanics." The car is not for a dynamic ride. At the beginning of the stroke, the clutch is empty, grabs closer to the end. Inconveniently. And the motor does not pull from the bottom. Several times during the clutch release, the brake pedal touched the edge of the boot. On other brands did not observe this. Apparently, they overdid it in an effort to make the pedal assembly more compact.
Simple and tasteful. The dashboard design is interesting and unlikely to quickly get bored. In the evening, the bluish backlight does not irritate the eyes

The nature of the car does not fit with the appearance. This is all the more offensive because the steering is perfectly tuned. The palms are pleased to hold the steering wheel. With excellent feedback, it clearly responds to every hand movement. The drift of the electronics extinguishes quite early, in a family car it should be so. A whole set of "guardian angels" - an emergency braking amplifier, directional stability system, brake force distribution system - is in place here.
In the trunk there is a shelf that can be lifted with the help of clamps. It will turn out something like mezzanines

During the test, I almost got used to the "Japanese" born in Europe. Ready to close my eyes on some things. But for a happy life together I did not have enough emotions behind the wheel, which you so expect from this beauty!
NOT ABOUT US
Toyota Auris is also produced with a hybrid drive similar to the one run on the Prius, which is popular in Japan and the USA. The car is produced with hatchback and station wagon bodies.

Under the hood, a 1.8-liter engine is paired with an electric motor. Total power - 136 hp at 5200 rpm The batteries were developed by Panasonic EV Energy Co., a joint venture with Matsushita Electric, known to customers as Panasonic. For the sake of saving space, the traction battery was placed under the pillow of the rear sofa. Due to this, in terms of the volume of the trunk, hybrid modifications do not lose to gasoline-diesel counterparts. Alas, in Russia hybrid Auris are not going to sell.
EXTERIOR AT TOYOTA AURIS BRIGHT, AND THE DRIVING CHARACTER IS VERY QUIET
