AURIS_STU_04_DPL_2015_7-8_HAUT

Details on the new engines offered in the facelifted Toyota Auris, which surfaced in March at the Geneva show, have been let loose.

First up, the all-new 1.2 litre petrol turbo, which joins the existing 1.33 litre Dual VVT-I and 1.6 litre Valvematic engines. 116 PS from 5,200 to 5,600 rpm and 185 Nm between 1,500 and 4,000 rpm are to be had, and with a six-speed manual, the car does the century sprint in 10.1 seconds before topping out at 200 km/h.

The direct-injected 1,197 cc motor has a 10:1 compression ratio and uses a water-to-air intercooler. Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are a claimed 4.7 litres per 100 km and 109 grams per km respectively. The engine also has VVT-iW, so it can switch between Otto (for power) and Atkinson (for efficiency) cycles – you’ll find VVT-iW on our Camry 2.0.

If the Multidrive S CVT is chosen, this 1.2 litre petrol turbo’s fuel economy and CO2 emissions get even better: 4.6 litres per 100 km and 106 grams per km.

Then there’s the new 1.6 litre diesel, which replaces the 2.0 litre unit and joins the revised 90 PS/205 Nm 1.4 litre D-4D. The engine develops 112 PS and 270 Nm of torque between 1,750 and 2,250 rpm, allowing the Auris to do 0-100 km/h in 10.5 seconds and max out at 190 km/h. The eco numbers are 4.1 litres per 100 km and 104 grams of CO2 per km.

Finally, the Hybrid, whose internal combustion component is a 1.8 litre petrol engine. The powertrain claims a combined 3.5 litres per 100 km and 79 grams of CO2 per km. The Hybrid commanded over half of Auris sales on the Continent in 2014.

    Proton should use this Toyota engine to market its Suprima/Preve/Iriz in European market. Gerenti laku no need offer 7 yrs warranty to increase sales there (just like Lotus with Toyota engine).

      Bro,no need to use Toyota engine.Proton Campro engine(CFE,CPS,IAFM) is good enough.If Proton use Toyota engines also,people will not buy.Because why?It is because of Malaysian people,their mind sets that Proton is a low quality car,shit car,eventhough they already do big improvement.

      Toyota is not the best choice. They are not so popular in Europe, parts are pricey, … better use Renault engines. Bonus: Renault is willing to sell engines to other brands, Toyota less so.

        More so MG. But yes, handsome car, nice car. I wouldn’t mind getting one, really. It’s the junk they sell in Malaysia that I don’t like.
