Detailed analysis of the Toyota Auris 5p 1.6 VVT-i Valvematic Advance ConfortDrive · 132 CV (2011)
General description
The 2010 Toyota Auris, in its 5-door 1.6 VVT-i Valvematic Advance ConfortDrive version, is presented as a balanced and reliable option within the compact segment. With a 132 hp gasoline engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission, this model aims to offer a comfortable and efficient driving experience for everyday use.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Auris, the overall feeling is one of smoothness and comfort. The 132 hp engine, although not a marvel of sportiness, responds capably in most situations, especially in urban environments and on the highway at legal speeds. The automatic transmission contributes to relaxed driving, without abrupt jerks. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and torsion beam with trailing arm at the rear, filters out road irregularities well, providing a pleasant ride. However, those looking for strong emotions behind the wheel might find it somewhat lacking in character, with electric power steering that prioritizes ease of handling over sporty feedback. Its acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 11.9 seconds and a top speed of 195 km/h place it in the average of its category, neither excelling nor falling short.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2010 Toyota Auris is functional and discreet, without great aesthetic flourishes. Its lines are clean and its 5-door silhouette is practical. With a length of 4245 mm, a width of 1760 mm, and a height of 1515 mm, it offers compact dimensions that facilitate maneuverability in the city. The interior, although not luxurious, is well resolved, with materials that convey solidity and good fit. The trunk, with 350 liters of capacity, is sufficient for the needs of a small family or for daily use. The overall aesthetic is timeless, seeking to please a wide audience without taking excessive risks.
Technology and features
In the technology section, the 2010 Auris incorporates what was necessary for its time. Its 1.6 VVT-i Valvematic gasoline engine, with indirect injection and variable valve timing, seeks to optimize consumption and emissions. The 6-speed automatic transmission is a plus for comfort. In terms of safety, it has ventilated disc brakes at the front and solid discs at the rear, and electric power steering that facilitates maneuvers. Although it does not incorporate the latest innovations in connectivity or driving assistants that we see today, it meets the standards of its segment at the time of its launch. Its combined consumption of 6.3 l/100km and CO2 emissions of 146 g/km position it as a reasonably efficient vehicle for its category and year.
Competition
The 2010 Toyota Auris faced tough competition in the compact segment. Its main rivals were models such as the Volkswagen Golf, the Ford Focus, the Opel Astra, the Renault Mégane, and the Honda Civic. Compared to them, the Auris stood out for its reputation for reliability and its focus on comfort and practicality, although it perhaps did not offer the same sportiness or the same level of interior finishes as some of its European competitors. Its 132 hp gasoline engine and automatic transmission placed it in a competitive position in terms of performance and ease of use.
Conclusion
The 2010 Toyota Auris 5p 1.6 VVT-i Valvematic Advance ConfortDrive is a car that more than fulfills its purpose as a compact vehicle for everyday use. It offers comfortable and smooth driving, a functional design, and mechanical reliability that is a hallmark of the Toyota brand. While it is not the most exciting car in its segment, its balance between performance, consumption, and comfort makes it a very sensible option for those looking for a reliable and uncomplicated travel companion. Its price of 18,650 euros at the time, with an official discount of 2,800 euros, made it an attractive proposition in the market.
