The Touring Sports will solely be made at the Burnaston factory, and it will only be offered in Europe. Sales in the UK, Germany and Spain will begin in July. At the moment, it is the only compact estate car in Europe to offer a full hybrid option. 

Toyota expects the car to represent 20% of its total sales, and the hybrid is expected to be 45% of the Auris Touring Sports' sales.
