The 2013 Toyota Auris is the second generation of the nameplate.
The car was previously known as the Toyota Corolla Hatchback. After that, the Japanese carmaker decided to change the name for the hatchback and leave the Corolla only for the sedan version and for some countries. The Auris was criticized for having a bold look in the C-Segment, where all the other manufacturers had tried their imagination.

The 2013 model has a sharper look, with angled headlights and an aggressive design with air scoops on the sides of the front bumper like those usually used for cooling brakes, and a central larger one. The grille is also designed into a V-shape to complete the fascia. The car is not as sporty as it looks, but at least it looks better. Depending on trim level, the Auris was available with steel or light-alloy wheels.

Under the hood there was a range of engines from 1.2-liter to 2.0-liter ones, both gasoline and diesel. The smallest unit was turbocharged and offered 115 hp, while the most powerful unit was the 1.8 with 144 hp. The diesel units were turbocharged with 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter displacement and offered 90 hp and 124 hp, respectively.

Inside the vehicle, there is room for five with a flat floor for the rear passengers. The infotainment system has a USB port for music input or charging the phone.
