More power, improved fuel economy and lower emissions
for 2009 range
 |
Auris is the latest Toyota model range to reap the benefits in
performance, fuel economy and emissions from Toyota Optimal Drive technology.
Following the introduction late last year of the Toyota Optimal
Drive 1.33-litre Dual VVT-i engine with Stop & Start, Auris gains the new
1.6-litre Valvematic engine and revised versions of its established 1.4 and 2.0
D-4D and 2.2 D-CAT 180 units. The result is
 cleaner, more fuel-efficient
motoring with no compromise in performance or driving pleasure, plus
significant savings in ownership costs compared to its market rivals.
Toyota has also rationalised Auris into a new
four-grade structure (T2, TR, T Spirit and SR180), with a few minor adjustments to the
equipment specifications.
NEW 1.6-litre VALVEMATIC ENGINE
The new 1.6-litre
Valvematic engine, built at Deeside in the UK, is expected to be the
largest-selling unit in the 2009 Auris range. It benefits from Toyota
Optimal Drive technologies, notably variable valve lift, enabling it to
deliver more power and torque than the previous 1.6 VVT-i engine, while
at the same time making significant improvements in fuel consumption
and emissions levels.
The fuel economy delivered by both the 1.33 Dual VVT-i and 1.6 Valvematic
petrol engines in Auris, combined with the per-litre cost of diesel fuel and the
price premium of diesel models, make them a compelling choice for customers who
traditionally might opt for diesel-powered cars on the grounds of running
costs.

Power output from the engine is up by 8bhp (8 DIN hp) and maximum
torque rises from 157Nm at 5,200rpm to 160Nm at 4,400rpm. It is available with
either a new six-speed transmission, or new six-speed MultiMode system with
paddle-shift controls. With the manual gearbox, CO2 emissions are down
eight per cent at 153g/km and fuel consumption is improved by nine per cent in
combined cycle driving at 43.5mpg. With MultiMode the reduction in emissions is
15g/km to 146g/km, while fuel economy rises by 4.7mpg – more than 11 per cent –
to 45.6mpg (combined).
Savings for retail customers
Compared to its principal market rivals the 2009 Auris with the Toyota
Optimal Drive 1.6 Valvematic engine delivers clear savings over a three-year ownership
period – more than £2,700 in fuel and VED road tax costs compared to the
segment’s best-sellers, the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra.

Savings for fleet and company car drivers
The 1.6 Valvematic engine’s reduced CO2 figures and fuel
economy, together with highly competitive pricing combine to make Auris a stronger
proposition for fleet managers and company car drivers. Earning a
Benefit-in-Kind tax band of 18 per cent, the TR model attracts a three-year tax
cost of £1,533 (based on a 20 per cent tax liability). Combined with its price
advantage over its key market rivals, this translates into appreciable cost
savings.
REVISED 1.4-litre AND 2.0-litre D-4D ENGINES
The 89bhp (90 DIN hp) 1.4 D-4D diesel engine has been upgraded with
Toyota Optimal Drive technology, with fuel economy increasing by six per cent
to 60.1mpg in combined cycle driving (58.9 MultiMode). Carbon dioxide emissions
have been reduced, falling from 132 to 125g/km for manual TR models, 127g/km
for versions with MultiMode. At the same time, torque performance is stronger
by eight per cent, rising to a maximum 205Nm between 1,800 and 2,800rpm.
As well as delivering CO2 emissions that are
among the best in Auris’s segment, the engine is more responsive. This has been
made possible by new piezo-electric injectors that control fuel volume and
injection timing more accurately and give a shorter injection time.
The 2.0 D-4D engine in Auris gains a diesel particulate filter
(DPF), which brings emissions performance in line with Euro V standards. It
delivers 125bhp (126 DIN hp) and maximum torque of 310Nm between 1,800 and
2,400rpm via a six-speed manual transmission. CO2 emissions are reduced
by 13g/km to 138g/km and fuel consumption is improved by 4.7mpg to 54.3mpg
(combined cycle).
The engine benefits from higher fuel injection pressure of 2,000bar
and more efficient piezo injectors with smaller holes for a finer spray.
Combined with an optimised combustion chamber shape, this allows for an
improved fuel-air mixture and more efficient combustion, contributing to better
fuel economy and improved torque at low engine speeds.
REVISED 2.2-litre D-CAT 180 ENGINE
Applying Toyota Optimal Drive technology to the 2.2 D-CAT 180 diesel
engine, featured exclusively on the SR180 grade, has yielded
better fuel economy and emissions. Combined cycle performance is 47.1mpg and CO2 output is
158g/km, against previous figures of 45.6mpg and 164g/km. Like the 2.0 D-4D
engine, it also benefits from improved piezo-electric fuel injectors, operating
at higher pressure – increased from 1,800 to 2,000bar.
NEW GRADE STRUCTURE
The Auris grade line-up has been simplified into four trim levels –
T2, TR (focus for the majority of sales), T Spirit and SR180. Minor
changes have been made to the equipment specifications, most notably making
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) available as an option on 1.4 D-4D TR models.
The Smart Entry and Start system, fitted as standard to T Spirit and SR180
models, has been improved to provide automatic unlocking of the passenger doors
and boot, in addition to the driver’s door.
