Toyota South Africa has introduced sporty flair to the Auris-range, now called the Auris X.
The most notable change in the new Auris X line-up is the introduction across the range of Toyota’s Optimal Drive Technology. The new 97 kW 1.6 litre Valvematic engine, fitted to certain models in the Auris X range as an element of Toyota’s Optimal Drive strategy, has the distinction of offering the highest power for a naturally aspirated engine in its class in South Africa.
New generation 6-speed manual transmissions are adopted across the Auris X range.
The latest Auris X is differentiated by a number of external changes that project a wider stance for the vehicle with a stronger presence on the road.
New elements at the front include revised styling for the bonnet, front bumper, radiator grille, front spoiler and headlamp cluster. Side mirrors now incorporate a turn indicator.
