AURIS It starts here Intro movie Designed around you Bridged centre console <p>The focal point of the striking new interior is unquestionably the sculptured bridged centre console.</p><p> </p><p>Being designed around the driver, it brings all the essential controls closer to hand, and in turn, creates a more spacious feel for both the driver and passengers. All of which makes for a more natural, comfortable driving experience.</p>
Fingertip controls <p>Beautiful to the touch, the steering wheel in the Auris has been designed with both luxury and safety in mind. The wheel is finished in the finest leather, but in the event of an accident it retracts rapidly away from the driver.</p><p> </p><p>Fingertip technology allows you to operate the cruise control and variable speed limiter and the MP3 and WMA compatible radio CD player without moving your hands from the wheel.</p><p> </p><p>And with the optional MultiMode* transmission, paddles on either side of the wheel are used to change gear in an instant.</p><p> </p><p>(*) Optional on both D-4D 90 and 1.6-litre Dual VVT-i engines.</p>
Transmission <p>A thrilling experience is now always close to hand. Alongside the smooth 5 speed transmission, on the D-4D 125 and the D-4D 180 engines performance is delivered through a smooth 6-speed manual transmission. In addition, the gear lever is now closer to the steering wheel, for easier handling and extra smooth gear changes. And to further ensure optimum fuel economy, a Gear Shift Indicator automatically advises when to change gears.</p><p> </p><p><strong><a href="asfunction:_root.showExtraPopup,11,multimode">Discover the MultiMode transmission here.</a></strong></p>
Storage <p>The stylish design and quality materials, more typical of a luxury car, create an atmosphere where you feel totally at home. Practicality has not been neglected, however, with many practical storage ideas throughout the interior.</p><p> </p><p>Alongside a glovebox with clever dual opening, deep rear-door pockets and an underseat tray for the front passenger, the striking new sculpted, bridged centre console reveals another cunning storage idea – a compartment for a mobile phone or similar small items. Even an overhead console to hold your sunglasses and cup holders for the front and rear seats are standard on Auris.</p>
Optitron dials & gear shift indicator <p>Inside the car, the new Optitron dials ensure optimal day and night readability, reduce eye fatigue and clearly provide all the information you need, whether it’s your average speed or the outside temperature.
<br /><br /></p><p>On all manual transmission models, the gear shift indicator located between the optitron meters uses engine computers and arrow lights pointing up or down, to suggest when to shift gear up or down. Following gear shift indicator's visual recommendations contributes to achieve optimal fuel economy (up to 8% fuel consumption reduction), smoother drive, less emissions, and consequently, increased environmental performance.</p>
MultiMode transmission <p>The MultiMode transmission is a clutchless system that can be operated as an automatic gearbox, or as a manual sequential shift gearbox for a more active, sporty drive, simply by pressing the paddles on the steering wheel. In addition, thanks to the unique bridged centre console design, the gear lever is now closer to the steering wheel, for easier handling and extra smooth gear changes. And to further ensure optimum fuel economy, a Gear Shift Indicator automatically advises when to change gears.</p><p> </p><p>(*) Optional on both D-4D 90 and 1.6-litre Dual VVT-i engines.</p>
Enjoy the drive Handling and Suspension <p>Drive the Auris and you’ll feel what it truly means to connect instantly with a car.</p><p> </p><p>The newly-developed McPherson front suspension and, on the D-4D 180, a lightweight double wishbone rear suspension deliver exceptional handling.</p><p> </p><p>Moreover, a new Electric Power Steering (EPS) also comes as standard, which assists the driver by adding steering torque assistance for quick and responsive steering feel.</p>
Space <p>The new Auris has been designed around you, from inside out. And nothing shows this more than the intelligent use of space. From the fully carpeted boot space, to the luxuriously spacious back seats, there’s clever thinking wherever you turn.</p><p> </p><p>The boot, for instance, expands from 350 litres to an enormous 777 litres using the touch of a simple tilt-down mechanism, and the absence of a transmission tunnel in the back means much more leg room for rear passengers.</p><p> </p><p>The Auris is also the tallest car in its class, providing maximum space and headroom for all passengers, a higher driver's position, and in turn, giving better visibility of the road. All this without compromising on aerodymamics, fuel consumption and handling.</p>
Smart Entry <p>Fumbling for keys in the dark is a thing of the past. Innovative technology in the Auris means all you have to do is simply keep the electronic key with you, and the doors unlock as you approach.</p><p> </p><p>Once inside, just depress the clutch, push the Smart Start button, and the engine will start automatically.</p>
