+toyotaprius79 I understand that Toyota do have an agreement to use a BMW Diesel engine in one of their cars.
+CAESARbonds Not allowed to go much over 30 MPH in electric only mode due to over revving of electic motor. Due to the complicated gear arrangement starting the gas engine stops this from happening. Suggest you watch some of the Hybrid drive train vids on YT.
+McDaniel77 I can only guess that they chose not to use a Diesel engine due to it's additional weight and that a gasoline engine is better suited to stop start operation.
+ThePetrolhead94 The 1. 8L engine is very special, working to the Atkinson Cycle and with a high compression ratio for best efficiency. Not as efficient as a Diesel but very good.

Looks nice but I rather have the 1. 4d4d as its much efficient as this pruis engine also its much better to drive and if you want somthing more powerful the get the 2. 0d4d auris which is efficient and better, or go with 1. 6vvti yes its not as fuel efficient as the other models but still somthing. I mean average 60mpg is great efficientency if you can get more thats fine but I rather enjoy driving and not be driving like a old grampa just to get 70 or 80 mpg I rather drive faster and no be taken over by other cars even if im getting 50mpg.

Hello fellow Atheist, just stop man. If you go to places like New York, Paris or even Dublin, if you find a taxi-Prius and ask the driver how much miles or km it done. I've done so, and I was told that it ran nearly 350, 000km without any battery change.
Unfortunately, Toyota charges a fortune on new batteries for around -4000, while getting your own easily off the self or from a scrapyard can be less than -500. You can even refurbish it.
BTW there's an 8 year 100, 000km warranty for the battery.

So far, this is the best looking hybrid. Don't compare it with a prius please. That's a family car, just like the Honda insight or the Honda Civic. It has a automatic gearbox and is more luxuriously equipped than the prius for that same money. The Honda CR-Z comes close, but is not as practical.
My next company car will most likely be this Auris. Now i only need to convice Toyota to offer better colors instead of the predictable and boring black, blue and silver; -)

Cant wait in till all the idiots who bought into the Hybrid scam have to start replacing the batteries and it dawns on them that they bought a car that is scrap in six years since the battery replacement costs will be more than the used value of their car.
Lets not even get started on the pollution caused by making all the extra batteries that cars really do not need for their function.

Great car and it looks good! BUT why don't they use a CDI/TDI diesel engine? They could achieve 2-3 liter/100km if the use diesel instead of super. -
What about topspeed, accelleration, weight? -
I like this car, maybe it's my next one after my second VW Lupo 3L (tech from 1999, but still around 3 liter/100km. -

-McDaniel77 A Toyota is not a VW, Toyota would never use another manufacturer's engine and VW the same. But car manufacturers can have an agreements like the Toyota Aygo, Citroen C1 and Peugeot 107 they're the same cars and have the same engines to reduce costs ect.

Good review, Many U. K. jobs hinge on this car being a success, It looks a good product, because its lighter than a Prius, its even more economical. Honda dont make a full hybrid like this

I think its a nice city car
its cheaper and better looking than Prius (full kitted one) and way cheaper than CT200h.
Plus exemptions of tax and congestion charge.
