The Toyota Auris range is growing! The Auris Touring Sports, the new wagon version of the popular hatchback, is ready to roll onto UK roads this summer.
We’ve already brought you pricing and equipment details of the car, reports from our UK factory that started building it this month and we’ll be bringing you live coverage of the car’s media launch later this week.
But what we really want is to find out what you want to know about the car.
If you need to know whether the Auris Touring Sports will fit into your garage, exactly how much luggage it can hold or how economical it is, this is the place to ask – no question is too big or small, and we’d love to help you out.
You can leave a question in the comment below. You can also contact us on our Facebook page or via Twitter @ToyotaGB.
In the meantime, take a look at our previous blogs on Toyota Auris Touring Sports here:

You can see our Q&A on the hatchback version of new Auris here.
Will either Auris Hybrid versions (hatchback or tourer) be available with towbar?
Hi Pontus,
The new Auris Hybrid, as with our other hybrid vehicles, will not be available with a towbar. This is because it is designed for eco-driving and efficient aerodynamics, therefore it is not possible to tow. There will be other storage accessories announced at a later date.
Many thanks for your question.
This should be a straightforward question: how much extra will the Touring Sports cost over the normal Auris hatchback?
Hi James,
The new Auris Touring Sports pricing has yet to be released, we expect to see this information in the first half of next year. You can find the new Auris pricing, here: http://ow.ly/el1cH.
We will be sure to keep you updated with the latest news on these models as they are released.
Many thanks.
Hi
What specs and engines are going to be available for the sport wagon?Also when will it be available to buy?Its looking very nice,and not as huge as the Avensis Tourer.
The engine line up needs to be good to compete with the other car makers,not everybody wants to drive economical cars,there are some people like myself who like to have nice looks coupled with some power,most car makers give the buyer a choice between being green or being sporty.
thanks

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your post. You can find out more about the engine range available for the new Auris Touring Sports here: http://ow.ly/evSWD. We have yet to announce when the car will go on sale or the vehicle specifications. We are expecting these early next year, and will be sure to update you here on the Toyota blog.
Thank you for your comments.
Excellent,although i do hope Toyota is planning on something a little bigger/stronger engine wise to the ones listed,seems that Toyota are not moving forward much in the engine department.I’m aware that petrol/diesel and hybrid are available,but none of the units are particularly powerfull,the car itself isnt small.I do know that there is an Avensis 2.0 tsi,which is powered by a 2.0 turbocharged unit producing 200ps,although you cant buy it in this country???
Maybe this will see the new Auris Sport Tourer?or maybe the 2.2d 175 (manual)that the new Verso will have?This will be a decider for me as the car is very easy on the eye so all it needs is a nice unit to pull it around.
Thankyou again
steve
Toyata should re release the 1.8 T Sport Compressor for the new Auris,the tsi 200ps and 2.2d 175 should be available for the Auris Sport Tourer and Avensis,and not to forget the 1.6 and 2.0 diesel BMW units that are coming too.These should all be available to the UK market aswell.
Toyota have changed the specs and “Sport” is in there,so surely a sporty engine/s should be available.These engines put with the others in the range make for a car marquee that caters for all.

Hi Steve,
Thank you for taking the time to give further feedback, we have passed on your comments to our product development team. The information that has been announced so far on the Auris Touring Sports is on our blog post previously provided. You can also find out more about the Toyota and BMW partnership here: http://ow.ly/eybuT.
Sorry we can’t provide any more information at this stage, but we will continue to provide updates here on the Toyota blog. Please do continue to let us know if you have any further questions.
Many thanks.
Do you have any information on the load space with the rear seats up and down.
Also will you be offering the adaptive cruise, pre crash safety system & Touch and go Pro on the Tourer. These would be great options to have.
I see Toyota in Europe offer these on both the Pruis and Prius + but in the UK we can only get these on the Prius.
Hi Andy,
Unfortunately, we do not have this information yet for the new Auris Touring Sports, this will be available in the first half of next year. We will be providing the latest updates then on this new model here on the Toyota blog.
If of interest, the load space in the new Auris is 360 litres, 860mm with the rear seats and 1395mm with them down.
We have also passed on your feedback regarding the options you’ve highlighted for consideration also.
Many thanks.
Thanks Amy,
Any idea on when the Tourer will be launched?
Hi Andy,
We are unable to confirm at this stage, but this is expected mid next year.
Thanks again for your posts.
