The new Toyota Auris Touring Sports adds a popular wagon body style to the model range’s comprehensive choice of powertrains. It is the first wagon in the segment available with a full hybrid powertrain, representing a further diversification of Toyota’s application of its Hybrid Synergy Drive technology.

Sharing its 2,600 mm wheelbase and 10.4 metre turning circle, the Auris Touring Sports is 285 mm longer than the hatchback, all of which is dedicated to the extended loadspace. 

Rear seats in place, the loadspace is 1115 mm long and 1452 mm wide with a superior capacity of 530 litres. With the rear seats folded flat, loadspace length increases to a maximum length of 2047 mm, a maximum height of up to 890 mm and a class-leading total capacity of 1658 litres.

The new Auris Touring Sports shares the hatchback’s new frontal design, which combines Toyota’s Under Priority design language with Keen Look detailing.

At 1553 mm long by 960 mm wide, the optional Skyview panoramic sunroof is one of the largest in the segment.

To the rear, the Auris Touring Sports features a new bumper and tailgate design, with the loadspace sill set 100 mm lower than that of the hatchback, above a chrome floating rear spoiler. 

The Auris Touring Sports will be available with the same engine range as the Auris hatchback; a choice of 1.33 litre Dual VVT-i and 1.6 litre Valvematic petrol engines, improved 1.4 litre and 2.0 litre D-4D diesel engines, and the first full hybrid powertrain in the C-segment wagon market.
