Toyota Auris to make Geneva Debut
Toyota Auris to make Geneva Debut-October 2024
2023-12-14 EST 02:30:41

Toyota will be showing off an all-new Auris hatchback at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. Here's what we know so far.

Thanks to this teaser image, we can see the new Toyota Auris' shape. Usually, the Geneva Motor Show is dominated by the European brands, but Toyota is determined to steal some of the limelight. The new Auris is Toyota's shot at the tough C-segment hatchback market, which is dominated by the Volkswagen Golf, Ford Focus, Opel Astra and Renault Megane.

Toyota's products have often been accused of having plain styling, but then the C-HR came along and proved the critics wrong. We're hopeful that the new Auris has at least a few of the C-HR's striking elements. Given its love for hybrids, we'd be surprised if we didn't see a new Auris powered by a petrol engine with an electric assist.

Along with the new Toyota Auris, the Japanese manufacturer has confirmed that it'll be revealing a sportier vehicle. According to the press release, there will be "amodern racing concept which signals its commitment to bring the brand’s most iconic sports car back to the market.” Does that sound like a Toyota Supra? That sounds a lot like a Supra. Also, expect to see the new Aygo.
