Let's be honest: When it comes to the topic of hybrid, most car manufacturers make (preferably German) is a huge fuss when a vehicle with this particular drive goes into production. Quite different with Toyota, where to put the power of two hearts since the late 1990s. At the same time to start the new Auris there is already a hybrid model of the compact car. And as a kind of crowning is also 150 Euro cheaper than the comparable diesel. Now so it could actually be interesting to take a look at the hybrid (turbocharger).
Technology for deep stacker
While the more expensive Toyota Prius already shows an extroverted design: "I'm environmentally friendly", the Auris Hybrid remains discreet. Only a few hybrid lettering and the blue-backed Toyota emblem indicate the drive. No restrictions exist in trunk: Because the technology is space under the rear seats fit in all hatchback Auris into the same 360 liters of luggage. In a well-known hybrid double takes over the work. A 1.8-liter gasoline engine with 99 HP teams up with an electric motor, which brings it to 60 kilowatts 82 hp respectively. Toyota Kenner immediately notice: This is the drive from the Prius, the system performance is but not 181 but 136 hp, because the electric motor is not constantly zuarbeitet.
unwanted Nostalgia
Interior makes first disillusion: The cockpit builds up in front of the driver, the Materialqualtät leaves a mixed impression. Top pleased grained leatherette the eye, while in the center console lurking greasy cheap plastic. Cheap affects the way too far to the right mounted digital clock in 80s style, added the inscrutable functions of the control buttons on the steering wheel. Otherwise, the ambience just like its compared to the Prius unspectacular note. Instead of a tachometer clarifies an "Eco-Meter" on the driver if he is driving in the optimal range, respectively, by braking foot off the gas recovers energy or retrieves the full power. In this case, the needle glows devilish red. By pressing a button can be enforced among others purely electric driving. Two kilometers with a maximum of 50 km / h should be possible, in reality it is only sufficient for significantly shorter Tempo 30 zones. We used mainly the Eco-mode that is best in everyday life (turbo suppliers).
A matter of adjustment
Absolute taste is the stepless CVT transmission. Although switching energy is superfluous, but as soon as the accelerator pedal is no longer caressed, the gasoline engine howls heard on. This point has been improved noticeably after all, over the years, the comfort experience diminishes but still. Much depends on the right foot of the driver. You have to change their own driving style, but which already does from the ambition to keep consumption low. Tip: Order the Toyota Auris Hybrid with cruise control, then the engine levels off at acceptable speeds. In the test means we reached a consumption of 5.5 liters, which, although higher than the official 3.9 liters, but still is a real diesel value. From 23,200 euros it starts, touch screen audio system, rear view camera and climate control included (turbos for sale).
