Toyota pushed its electrification program further and introduced the third generation of the Auris with a wider choice of electrified models. It didn't rely only on fuel efficiency but also on performance. Thus, customers who were reluctant to switch to hybrids had something that attracted them more. In addition, the conventional engine-only versions were still kept under production, thus helping the carmaker to sell them for a lower price than the hybrid versions. The Auris was clearly designed to address the younger generation. It featured a front fascia with narrow headlights and a shape that resembled a pair of fangs. Moreover, the lower bumper featured a trapezoidal-shaped grille that covered most of the lower apron. Thus, the car's look was very aggressive. From its profile, the hatchback's beltline was raised on the rear doors and connected to the raked-forward C-pillars. In addition, the two-tone bodywork, with a contrasting greenhouse available as an option, amplified the car's sporty look. Inside, Toyota packed the Auris with its latest technologies. It started with introducing a digital instrument cluster and continued with the touchscreen infotainment system placed atop the center stack. The sport bucket seats at the front were also comfortable, but they were high-mounted, which helped the rear passengers' legroom. At the back, the split-folding bench allowed three adults to sit there, but not for long trips.
