The Toyota Auris is a compact hatchback introduced in 2006 as Toyota's stylish and practical alternative in the C-segment market. Over three generations, the Auris has evolved in design, size, and technology, maintaining a balance of efficiency and comfort. With dimensions typically ranging around 4.2 meters in length, the Auris competes closely with other compact cars. Its versatile interior and efficient powertrains have made it popular in Europe and other markets until it was succeeded by the Toyota Corolla Hatchback in later years.
