The third generation Auris made its debut at the 2018 Geneva motor show with a more dynamic exterior design and with a brand new 2.0 liter full hybrid powertrain joining the engine lineup, marking the debut of Toyota’s dual hybrid strategy. The new Auris sits on the new TNGA global platform, which will stand as a basis for all future Toyota passenger cars. In the new model there’s a new multilink rear suspension to improve handling, and the high-strength steel in the body shell also contributes to rigidity. The new car is an inch shorter than the outgoing one, but the wheelbase has been lengthened by 1.6 inches.
