will be revealed at the Paris Motor Show on September 27. It will be available with hybrid, diesel and petrol engines at introduction. The car was designed in the UK and will be built at Toyota's factory in Derbyshire. Toyota says that it is improving the interior quality of the car but will make it cheaper to run. 

The new Auris will be offered with a hybrid, 1.4-liter diesel, 1.33-liter petrol and 1.6-liter petrol engine options. Toyota expects that sales will be split equally among the hybrid, diesel and petrol engines.

. The standard cars will offer 6l more cargo space than the current generation, but the hybrid has 126l more cargo space because of an improved hybrid system. Toyota reduced the coefficient of drag to Cd0.28, which is an improvement of 0.01. 

The exterior design is sharper and more modern than the previous generation. The front end now incorporates LED running lights. Some models will have piano black trim on the B-pillar and tinted windows to make the sides appear like a continuous sheet of glass. The rear of the car is larger and has a larger opening to make loading cargo easier. It is 40kg lighter than the previous generation. 

Inside, Toyota will offer a nearly full-length sunroof as an option. Toyota will offer high-quality, baseball-stitched leather and a leather dashboard as options. Even standard cars get more soft touch materials than the previous cars. Toyota has repackaged the interior to give 20mm more rear legroom.
