Toyota Corolla Hatchback or Toyota Auris

Toyota Auris or Toyota Corolla Hatchback available at Jim Autos United Kingdom

The Toyota Auris is a compact 3 door and 5 door hatchback which shares the same E150 platform with the Toyota Corolla.

In Europe, Toyota positioned the Auris as the replacement of Corolla hatchback, while the notchback Sedan continued with the Corolla nameplate. It is not sold in North America, as the larger Toyota Matrix takes its place in the lineup.

The Auris succeeds the Corolla RunX in Japan and the Toyota RunX (no Corolla badging) in South Africa. Toyota Australia and Toyota New Zealand resisted suggestions from Toyota Japan to adopt the new European Auris name for the Corolla.

The Auris was released on February 1, 2007 in the United Kingdom. It replaced the Toyota Corolla hatchback. With a fresh design and upmarket features including an MP3/WMA player, Toyota aimed to position the Auris at the higher end of the lower-medium segment to lure buyers from competing cars, such as Volkswagen Golf, Vauxhall Astra and the Ford Focus. Trim levels are T2, T3, and T Spirit. The higher end T180 model went on sale in the UK during April 2007.
