2013 Toyota Auris Hybrid will be officially unveiled at Paris Motor Show in the end of September. The new Toyota at will offer enhanced dynamics, more distinctive styling and higher equipment levels.
With its new and more confident exterior design combined with a higher quality interior, the new Auris also benefits from improvements on the driving dynamics and efficiency enhancements to its powertrain line-up. In particular this means that it includes a full hybrid system that powers the flagship Auris Hybrid model.
The overall height of the vehicle is with 55mm less than the current model. This and the lower front end design contribute to the perfect aerodynamic performance with a Cd0.28 drag coefficient. Furthermore, this also effects in better handling stability and lower fuel consumption.
The new design philosophy of the Japanese brand is applied here. 2013 Auris adopts the new “face” of Toyota in the design of its grille and the sharp-edged appearance of its headlights and LED daytime running lights. This gives the car a more powerful road presence.
Another styling change can be seen on the profile. Thanks to the extension of the side glazing into three panels. The effect will be rendered even more eye-catching in some versions with a piano black finish for the B-pillars and a dynamic treatment of the C-pillars above a stronger and more pronounced chrome-trimmed rising belt line.
Observed from the rear, one can see a wider opening tailgate, with interplay of convex and concave surfaces, a wrap-around combination lamp design and new bumper profile, strengthening the car’s broad stance.
What about the interior? Of course, it was completely redesigned. The new interior is now more spacious and comfortable. What is the main highlight here us the introduction of the Skyview. This is one of the largest panoramic roofs in the segment.
Furthermore, the air vent and meter surrounds, centre console and transmission tunnel trim have high quality satin silver finish. The interior surfaces such as the steering wheel and the instrument panel’s upper surface are covered with baseball-stitched nappa leather.
Loadspace length is now further enhanced. All hatchback versions have now 360 litres luggage space. Repositioning of the battery pack beneath the rear seat has ensured Auris Hybrid has the same load capacity as other models in the range.
Next, efficiency and dynamic improvements have been performed on the Hybrid Synergy Drive system. The new model will also include 1.4-litre diesel and 1.33 and 1.6-litre petrol engines.

With the introduction of the Yaris Hybrid, B-segment car fans will now be able to enjoy the low emission, refined Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive® (HSD). It’s a small packed piece of engineering that offers no compromises in terms of driving experience.
Hybrid Technology Development and Enhanced Product Appeal are the leading themes for Toyota’s presentation at the Geneva motor show, represented by a range of concept and production models that will be making their first appearance in Europe.
Toyota has launched its new Auris 2010, with a sharper appearance inside and out, higher quality materials throughout the cabin and a suspension system tweaked for extra ride comfort and stability. As well as packing much more visual appeal, the range of three and five-door hatchbacks continues to deliver a class leading combination of performance, fuel economy and low CO2 emissions from its line-up of Toyota Optimal Drive powertrains. 
The best selling type of car in Europe is a five door hatchback, so developing a full hybrid Auris is a logical step by Toyota. The new concept will be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show this week.
Looks like Toyota is planing strong presence for the upcoming Frankfurt Motor show. The Japanese brand will introduce to the world the all-new Toyota Auris HSD Full Hybrid Concept. This concept car represents a milestone in Toyota’s strategy: introducing Toyota’s full hybrid technology to a mainstream model, and the first step in the deployment of Hybrid Synergy Drive across the company’s model range. 
Auris is the latest Toyota model range to reap the benefits in performance, fuel economy and emissions from Toyota Optimal Drive technology.
