Toyota Auris: New 1.33-Liter Dual VVT-i Petrol Engine with Start&Stop Tech

Toyota is enhancing its Auris line-up with the introduction of a new 1.33-liter Dual VVT-i 4-cylinder gasoline engine that delivers lower emissions, better fuel economy and improved power and torque figures compared to the 1.4-liter unit it replaces in Europe. The new Auris 1.33 Dual VVT-i will also be the Japanese automaker's first model in Europe to benefit from a Stop & Start system. Notably, the new 4-cylinder unit is 54mm shorter and 127mm narrower than the previous 1.4-litre VVT-i and weights 13kg or 28pounds less. The result is a four-cylinder engine that is roughly the same size as Toyota's three-cylinder 1.0-litre VVT.

The 1.33-liter Dual VVT-i delivers an output of 101HP and 132 Nm of torque compared to the outgoing 1.4 VVT-i's 97HP and 130 Nm. The engine is also matched to a newly developed six-speed manual transmission that replaces Toyota's five-speed gearbox. Albeit more powerful, Toyota claims that the 1.33-liter engine delivers 17% lower CO2 emissions (135g/km) and a 19% improvement in fuel consumption (48.7mpg UK / 40.5 mpg US / 5.8 lt-100km combined cycle) compared to previous 1.4-liter VVT-i unit.

Currently, the new powerplant is being built in Japan but from October 2009, the 1.33-litre Dual VVT-i engine will be produced at Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK's (TMUK) factory at Deeside in North Wales.

On-the-road prices for the new Toyota Auris 1.33 Dual VVT-i with Stop&Start start in the U.K. at £12,705 for the entry-level T2 three-door while according to Toyota, accross the range, prices are just £200 more than for the equivalent, previous 1.4 VVT-i models.

2008 Toyota Auris SR180: New Sporty Flagship Model

Starting from January 2008, Toyota will enhance its European line-up with the addition of the the all-new Auris SR180. Just to set things clear, the SR180 is in no way a successor to the Corolla TS. The SR180 is powered 2.2-litre D-4D diesel engine that generates 175bhp and a maximum 400Nm of torque from 2,000rpm. Power is driven to the front wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. The top-notch Auris sprints from nought to 62mph (100 km/h) in 8.1 seconds, while the D-4D engine’s fuel efficiency returns an official 38.0 mpg (6.2 lt/100 km) in combined cycle driving. -Continued after the jump
The new flagship Auris also features a Toyota Motorsport lowered suspension springs and a new rear spoiler positioned atop the tailgate. Dark-tinted rear privacy glass and five-spoke 17-inch alloys add further to the style factor, while the choice of body colors includes a Pure White.

Toyota Auris 2.2 D-CAT Sport Study With 200 HP

Toyota Europe has revealed a sport study based on the Auris 2.2 D-CAT. The most important change is the addition of a “Sport Button” that raises the 2.2-liter diesel engine’s output from 177 to 200 Hp –we don’t have details on how, but it does. Apart form the engine mods, Toyota has fitted the Auris hatch with a set of sport springs that lower the vehicle’s ride height by 30mm. -Continued after the jump
The sport study is also equipped with a body kit that consists of a front and rear apron and a roof spoiler. The car’s looks are complemented by 18-inch alloy rims wrapped in 225/40 rubber and the tinted rear windows. Inside, the Auris Sports Study gets aluminum pedals, a sports leather steering and sports leather seats along with Carbon-fiber trim.

Frankfurt Show Bits & Pieces: Toyota Auris Swinging Doors

Now here’s a significant detail that would really set the Auris apart from the previous Corolla hatch once and for all: opposite opening, electric powered doors combined with the absence of a B-pillar. The front doors slide out and aside while the rear doors perform a 90+ degree flip. Simple yet effective in the sense that Toyota would never again have to convince us that the Auris has nothing in common with the Corolla. Yeah right... -One more image after the jump

Toyota Auris 3door Version Launched In Europe

Toyota is broadening its C-Segment hatch line-up in Europe with the addition of a 3door version of the Auris. Like most of the competition in Europe, Toyota preferred the easy way when it came to designing the Auris 3d meaning it simply threw out the rear doors from the 5door version and presto; a “sporty” 3d hatch


As expected, there’s no change in dimensions compared to the Auris 5d. Same goes for the engine range with the 3d being offered with two petrol units (97Hp 1.4-litre & 124Hp 1.6-litre) and two diesels (126Hp 2.0-litre & 177Hp 2.2-litre). Unfortunately Toyota hasn’t issued an official European press release yet so well sit tight with what we found on Toyota’s German site. So in Germany at least, the Auris 3d costs €700 ($954) less than its equivalent 5door version. -More images and the German price list after the jump

Scoop: 2008 Toyota Auris TS?

Here’s a set of “scoop” images that we discovered at our Italian buds at Autoblog.it that will certainly raise a few question marks. The most obvious one is whether what we’re looking here is the forthcoming Toyota Auris TS or just a privately supped-up version with a bodykit and a pair of bucket seats? If we had to choose, we’d probably pick the first scenario. Why?
Well, first of all the images seem to have been taken inside a Toyota repair shop –see the Yaris and the WRC (?) Toyota in the above shot. Then there’s the car itself. If it’s a bodykit, then it’s a damn good one. Everything looks factory-made: sporty bumpers, alloy rims, roof spoiler and twin exhaust pipes. In the interior the featured Auris gets a set of bi-colour bucket seats and sporty pedals -or at least that’s all we can see. The bucket seats probably eliminate the chance that this is a Toyota made sport pack for the Auris. But the detail that made us say that it’s official is the German license plate: AUR @ IS 924. That’s something you’d only see on an official car. With the Frankfurt Show just around the corner, we’ll find out soon enough. -Follow the jump for more images
UPDATE: According to a comment we received, these pictures originated from the Spanish site, "ClubCorolla". Members of the forum snatched the Auris during a visit to TTE's (Toyota Team Europe) headquarters in Cologne, Germany.

Toyota Blade: New TRD “Aero-kit”

I know what you’re thinking, “another sporty kit”, but we swear to God, we’re not doing it on purpose. The culprit this time is from the Far East and the victim is the 2008 Toyota Blade. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the car, the Blade is an upgraded and redesigned Auris (Corolla hatch substitute) fitted with a 2.4-liter 4cylinder engine (167Hp & 22,8 kgm of torque) which was presented in December. You could say it’s something like an Audi A3 but we’d advise you to keep it for yourself.
Anyhow, TRD (Toyota Racing Development) decided to give Blade owners the chance of owning an even more exclusive version of the upgraded Auris with the Aero-kit, which consist of front and rear bumper spoilers, a new grille with TRD’s emblem, chromed exhaust pipes and TRD rims. Wow.
