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.
Can you tell me when the Sports Tourer will be on display in the deallers please?
Hi Pater,
We expect the Auris Touring Sports to be available late June in Dealers. We recommend keeping in touch with your nearest Toyota Dealer for the very latest and when they can expect their models in.
Many thanks.
is there a dog guard option available on the new tourer sports
Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to contact us.
The Auris Touring Sports accessory list features a half height dog guard option, this starts from the rear seats and continues to the roof.
There is also a divider, so if you have more than one dog, or want to separate the areas you can also halve the boot space instead.
Hope this helps, if you have any other questions please don’t hesitate to ask,
Toyota UK.
Hi
Do you have an accessory list or brochure for the Touring Sports that you can forward as my local dealer does not have one
Thanks
Hi Andy,

Hope this helps,

Hi Kerry,
Not quite the answer I was looking for, I already have the pre sales brochure. Your colleague mentioned when replying to the dog guard question below in this section, that there was an accessory list for the Touring Sports. This is the list I would like to have if possible.
I have already ordered a Touring Sports which hopefully will be delivered end July and i just wanted to know what accessories are available and pricing so i can get them ordered and fitted before i take delivery.
Thanks
Hi Andy,
Thank you for getting back in touch. The accessory list is currently being finalised as we speak and should be available early next week. This is due to the Auris Touring Sports being launched in the UK at the end of next week. If you contact your local dealer mid-week (next week), they should have a finalised list of accessories for you to choose your desired options. Apologies for not being able to provide you with the full list of accessories at the moment.
Hope this helps.
Hi Kerry,
Just been down to my local dealer and asked about the accessory list that you advised would be available from mid this week and they do not have it yet. Can you please advise when this will be available so I won’t have another wasted journey
Thank you.
Andy
Hi Andy,
Thank you for getting back in touch. Apologies for this, could we please ask the name of your local dealer?
We understand the physical brochure is to be available shortly. The dealer network currently has access to an online system where accessories can be looked up and cross referenced against model. May we suggest you contact your dealer for their estimated delivery times of the brochure, or let us know your dealer and we’ll contact them on your behalf.
Many thanks.
Hi Kerry,
Been in touch with the dealer who I am purchasing the car from and they do have access to the on-line accessory system but the Touring sports is not on the list of cars yet, only the hatchback.
They also have no idea when the accessory brochure will be with them as they have not had this information from Toyota.
Thanks
Andy
Hi Andy,
Thank you for getting back in touch with us. Could you please provide us with the name of your local dealer, and we’ll contact them personally for you.
Many thanks.
Hi Kerry,
I can and have been in contact with my dealer, sorry I can’t see how you contacting them will make any difference, if they don’t have the information they can’t give it to me and I don’t want to sour my good relationship with them
Thanks
Andy
Hi Andy
Sorry for the delay, a few tweaks are being made to the brochure. As soon as its ready it will be sent to you.
Many thanks.
What Toyota have to say to this paragraph on this recent review:
“The continuously variable belt-drive transmission prompts the engine to spin continuously at quite high revs and produce a less-than pleasing tone that’s distressingly reminiscent of a kitchen blender. When the car is laden you’ll be hearing this sound pretty often, which is a shame, because the Auris is otherwise impressively hushed at speed.”
Has the Auris got a spare wheel? If not why not, a £50 tin of glue let find a garage that will clean the wheel after you used it,
Hello Denise,
The Auris Touring Sports comes with a Tyre Repair Kit which saves weight and space. However, we are working to provide a space saver in the coming months as an option on this model .Unfortunately we can’t give you an accurate time-frame however do keep in touch with your nearest Dealer who can keep you in the loop on this.
Hope this helps.
Is the 0% deal being extended for the launch of the new sports tourer tommorow
How many years have the batteries guarantee (hybrid version)?
Today, what is the price for a new ones?
Thanks.
Hi Paulo,
Thank you for taking the time to contact us. A hybrid battery comes with a 5 year warranty, after this time a full battery replacement costs £800.00.
Hope this helps,
Many thanks.
Dear Kerry
Regarding the Auris Hybrid Battery Warranty
The UK website says the Auris Hybrid hatchback has the following warranty:
(Direct quote)
Eight year hybrid battery warranty
Five year / 100,000 mile mechanical warranty
Twelve year unlimited mileage anti corrosion perforation warranty
Are you really saying the Touring Sports only has a 5 year Hybrid battery warranty?
Many Thanks
Hi Rob,
Sorry for the confusion.
We were referring to the Auris Touring Sports. All Hybrids in the Toyota range have (as you rightly point out) an 8 year/ 100,000 miles hybrid battery warranty. We anticipate this will include the Auris Touring Sports Hybrid however, this is yet to be absolutely confirmed. We hope to be in a position to confirm this in the next few days. We will keep you updated as soon as we know.
Many thanks.
Hi guys, hmm, in Croatia, warranty for hybrid batteries is 5 years. Is that legal?
Hi Milan. As ToyotaGB we are unable to advise you on this issue. Have you tried contacting Toyota Croatia? You can do that here: http://po.st/WlFgdc. We hope this helps.
When will the touring be avilable to view in showrooms
Hi Ian,
Auris Touring Sports is now available in Dealers. However, to be sure there’s one near you, may we suggest you speak with your local Dealer to confirm. Please find their details here: http://ow.ly/mGg2f.
Many thanks, have a good weekend.
This comment confirms my thoughts, this is one of the lowest key launches i have ever seen for a car. Normally car manufactures have a high impact launch singing its praises with the car taking pride of place on the home page of their website& blog, with adverts and car magazine test drives etc. With the launch of the Touring Sports, it nearly raised a whimper! You have to dig deep on the website to find it and when you get to the page you are greeted with a page asking you to register to get the latest updates and you can only download the pre sales brochure.
Come on Toyota make some noise about this class leading product and you never know you may increase your sales!!
Hi
I have found on the Toyota Europe blog that there is a new, optional Towing Pack allows the Auris Hybrid Touring Sports to tow loads of up to 345 kg.
Can you please advise the cost of this accessory as it does not seem to be in the new brochure or price list that you sent to me last week
Thanks
Andy
Hi Andy,
Thank you for contacting us.
The tow pack you refer to is only available in Europe, unfortunately this isn’t available as an option in the UK.
Many thanks.
Hi Kerry,
Thanks for your reply. I did phone Toyota customer services yesterday and spoke with a very helpful lady regarding this. I am still struggling to understand why the rest of the world can have a tow bar on the Hybrid TS but in the UK we can’t.
Thanks
Andy
Sorry Kerry forgot to mention, i only want to fit a bike rack to the tow bar as your offering at £850 fitted is far too expensive
