Toyota Auris Test drive 5 doors 2013 - NV hatchback

Very nice

Toyota auris car is pleasant in all respects, and small disadvantages, which have gained enough, do not spoil the overall favorable communication with the machine.
Toyota Auris is one of the most popular city cars. The components of commercial success are simple: a pleasant calm appearance, good sled characteristics, acceptable cost and reliability. On August 17 of this year, in Russia, sales of updated Auris with new engines and transmissions began. A car with a 1.33-liter engine and six-speed mechanics we took for a test.
Of course, he turned out to be red. However, why of course. There could be other options: black or silver, the most common Auris on the roads. No bright yellow, no saturated green, no pale blue. Auris is not a female compact hatchback, this is a serious middle -class car, in fact Corolla in another body.
Rounded lines, headlights with sharp faces, a small spoiler above the fifth door of Auris does not stand out in his class, and nevertheless, to guess the corporate style of the brand and a recognizable face in the stream is not difficult. The salon also leaves an extremely favorable impression due to high -quality finishes, unobtrusive and neat design, successfully highlighted details. It pleases with originality and stylish execution the central tunnel soaring in the air and conveniently lifting the lever of the checkpoint towards the driver. Under it hides a pocket in which a remote ashtray hid. The handbrake is also somewhat unusual, and using it is not too convenient.
Even from ergonomic miscalculations, the location of the heating buttons of the seats. Firstly, from a driver’s place you need to reach for them, going around the handbrake, and secondly, the keys for both seats are nearby and marked with letters, so until you get used to it, you will have to be distracted every time and look where to press the right chair .
The second drawback of a convenient and pleasant salon is the absence of pockets for trifles. It seems to be two spacious gloves, and pockets in the doorway, but the phone, so that it is at hand, has nowhere to put. You can, of course, put it into the container under the armrest, but then you will have to sacrifice the direct function of the armrest itself. But hidden cup holders right under the deflectors of the air ducts are a good decision.
However, in fact, the shortcomings cannot spoil the general positive mood that creates Auris. Here everything somehow immediately becomes familiar and relatives. The feeling of a hundred years is familiar to intensify on the road.
At the wheel, despite the hard back of the seat, you are immediately comfortable, the gearbox lever, raised by the central tunnel, is habitually at hand. Planting in Auris, as befits a self -respecting city hatchback, high and comfortable. Reviews are also beneficial to the benefits of triangular windows in the front racks, allowing you to clarify the dead zones in the turns. The backlight of the devices of warm orange color, gently flooding clear and well -readable scales. A window was located between the speedometer and the tachometer showing the recommended moment to switch the transmission in terms of economy.
The lever of the new six -speed mechanics would like to sort it out so clearly and predictably the programs are turned on! This desire spur sensitive and informative pedals. Despite the small volume of 1.33 liters, the engine cheerfully develops 101 hp, allowing Auris to be in ease in the stream. On a good road, the hatchback behaves steadily and comfortably, delighting with good responsiveness and a growing reactive force of the steering wheel in corners, but in the rut it can start scouring. At the same time, the car is springy for lying police officers, without delivering inconvenience to the passengers. Behind the place is enough for two passengers, but the third in distant voyage will feel superfluous. The sound insulation is magnificent of extraneous sounds into the salon practically does not penetrate, which enhances the feeling of comfort and comfort.
However, here it was not without a pair of tar straps. Firstly, on the control panel of the radio, which is carried out on the rim of the steering wheel, for some reason there is no key to a complete disconnection of the sound that is necessary. We have to reach for the radio. Also, while moving from the driver's seat, the right window of climate control.
Auris trunk has a classic layout that allows you to increase the volume from a modest 350 liters with an extended rear seats to a very impressive size, if you need to transport something more significant than packages from a supermarket. Seats are easily and simply laid out almost to an even floor.
Toyota auris car is pleasant in all respects, and small disadvantages, which have gained enough, do not spoil the overall favorable communication with the machine. The new 1.33-liter 101-horsepower engine paired with a six-speed mechanical transmission is an excellent coordinated duet that allows you to stay in the city stream without effort and not pass on the highway.
The cost of Toyota Auris in the basic configuration starts at 710,000 rubles, plus 10,000 rubles for the painting of metallic. The amount is considerable, but the configuration already includes fog lights, a full -sized spare wheel, electric drive and heating of the side mirrors, air conditioning, front and rear electric windows, heated front seats, leather steering wheel, control of the rod from the steering wheel, an audio system with six speakers, ABS, EBD, Front and side airbags and a knee pillow of the driver. The cost of average sets, which, in addition to the above, include alloy wheel wheels and separate climate control is located in the range of 814 500 860 500 rubles. And the most expensive Prestige equipment with light and rain sensors, cruise control and the intellectual system of access to the car and starting the Smart Entry & Push Start engine will cost at least 896,000 rubles plus 10,000 for the painting of metallic.
