The car moved to the new platform

At the Geneva motor show was presented the new, third generation Toyota Auris. Apparently, while the car is not fully ready: the demo instance tightly toned glasses, and this means that the interior is not yet designed. But hatch already makes a good impression.

The novelty has received the typical "Toyota" big front grille. Along with this, the body design is significantly different from anything we've seen before. In addition to the new style the manufacturer used two-tone body color.

Toyota Auris moved to the platform TNGA. The car was now 40 mm longer. The entire increase went to the wheelbase, so in theory the cabin has become more spacious. In addition, the roof was 25 mm lower cowl — 47 mm. due to this, managed profile has been made more dynamic.

For the European market stated three versions. The most simple modification will get the 1.2-litre petrol turbo engine, 116 horsepower. Also "Auris" will be available in two hybrid versions. The first will apply to the 1.8-liter engine from the Toyota Prius, the second — a new two-liter series engine Dynamic Force with a compression ratio of 13:1. The stated capacity of the petrol-electric tandem 122 and 180 horsepower.

Among the advantages of the new model developers allocate more driversi character. The new platform was able to lower the center of gravity, and in the corners to open up the new chassis will help rear independent suspension.

Toyota Auris goes on sale in the second half of the year. On deliveries to Russia can only dream, so we'll have to wait for the new generation Corolla.
