According to Toyota, the Auris Touring Sports will be first full hybrid wagon available in the C-segment, which is pretty cool, i am all for the hybrid cars but the Japanese car maker still can't make a good looking car. The good thing is it looks a little better in comparison with the Auris hatchback.
It will be available with the same engine found in the hatchback, a choice of 1.33 liter Dual VVT-i and 1.6 liter Valvematic petrol engines, an improved 1.4 liter and 2.0 liter D-4D diesel engines, and the first full hybrid power train.
The hybrid configuration consists of an 1.8 liter VVT-i petrol engine and an electric motor generating a maximum power output of 136hp (100 kW) which will give the car a top speed of 180km/h (112mph) and will accelerate from 0 to 100km/h (62mph) in 10,9 seconds.
But what matters aren't those figures its the following. It will emit only 86g/km of CO2 while NOx and NO particulate emissions are lower than any other diesel of comparable performance. Weirdly Toyota didn't reveal the fuel consumption but i am sure it will be under 4 liters for every 100km.
