Toyota Auris TS 1.6 D-4D Sport LED TSS

We were a little overwhelmed by the engine blur in our two older siblings, so it would only make sense that it would perform well on the Auris. Recall: the 1,6-liter 82-kilowatt turbodiesel, which replaced the two-liter in the offer, was created in collaboration with BMW. It is distinguished by a quiet ride, smooth operation and good responsiveness in the middle engine speed range.

Also, the consumption will not exceed six liters, unless you want to be the master of the overtaking lane. In all honesty, Auris does not like a parable either. It is better suited for smooth driving where the softly tuned suspension easily absorbs bumps in the road. However, the PSU is just right for a car in this segment, and unlike the larger Toyota, you won't feel short of breath during the chase here. We also mentioned that the Auris was completely renovated from the outside after three years. It received a more modern look, a new grille, new bumpers and LED lights. The interior upgrade is less noticeable, but welcome. Its design will be difficult to impress, the plastic is hard to the touch, the buttons are cheap, but it's good that the hardware has been neatly cleaned, and some functions are retained in a multimedia device with a touch screen.

The sensor repair is also commendable, as the enhanced trip computer data screen is now positioned between the two analog sensors. There we also find information about the operation of some auxiliary systems, such as a warning of a possible collision with emergency braking, a traffic sign recognition system, a warning in case of an accidental lane change. Unfortunately, it cannot display the set speed on the cruise control. We never complained about the spaciousness of the Auris. Well, these tall drivers will have problems, especially with the short longitudinal seat travel, but we're used to it anyway with Japanese brands. It sits comfortably in the back, there is plenty of knee room, and there is still room for a hat above the passengers' heads.

Parents could complain about the hard-to-reach ISOFIX mount that's buried somewhere deep in the junction of the seat and backrest. The Auris van's trunk isn't exactly a class champion, but with 530 liters (1.658 liters with the seats folded down) it will fill many needs. Even earlier, it may happen that your nerves will be irritated by a luggage roll with soft tarpaulin, which is so easily removed from the hinges during use. The fresh Auris has gone through a good refurbishment. They've put a lot of effort into the looks, the new diesel engine suits it perfectly and the safety support systems are what's become a must in this segment. A little less than 24 thousand, how much a test copy costs, this is a lot, but you will definitely get a discount in the cabin. And don't forget that Toyota still holds the price well.
