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:

Hi Kerry, spell checker caused the problem, I wanted to move my stored destinations in my touch & go to the new
touch & go 2. By your comment re phone numbers it looks as though I have to reload them all manually.
Hi Peter, no problem. If you still have your current vehicle (with touch 1) try this … insert a blank USB into the Touch 1 Settings > General > Backup Contacts to USB. Go to the Touch 2 device (new vehicle) > Settings > General > Restore Contacts from USB. If you no longer have access to your Touch 1 device the destinations will need to be put back in manually. Sorry!
Why does my sat nav audio not tell me I am over speed limit until I’m 10 mph over when it’s set to the lowest setting?
Hi Geoff
Thanks for your post.
We have run this past our technical team who have confirmed the following.
The speedometer in the car is calibrated to read approximately 10 per cent more than the actual vehicle speed. (This is to ensure that the vehicle never reads less than the actual speed when the rolling radius of the tyre changes with wear). The satellite navigation system will be reading the true speed of the vehicle in MPH (so it will be 5 mph at the lowest setting). This in addition to the 10 per cent increase means that 10 mph can be shown before the warning sounds.
The satnav audio alarm set to its lowest setting ie 3 mph would be at 30 mph (3 mph for 10% + the 3 mph over the speed limit = 6 mph. So why does mine not cut in til 40 mph?
Hello Geoff
Thanks for your reply.
The reason is because the lowest setting is 5 MPH. So if the device is set for the warning to sound when the speed limit is exceeded by 5 MPH the following would apply:
The speed limit is 30 mph so this isn’t exceeded until the vehicle has reached 31 MPH
31 + 5 is 36 so the warning will sound when the actual vehicle speed is 36 mph (exceeds 35 MPH).
When the vehicle is travelling 36 mph the speedometer will read approximately 10% more so: 36 + 10% is 40 mph.
Hope this helps.
I can’t leav dog in auris and lock it as dog moves alarm goes of is it possible to disable interia alarm
Hi. I’m considering ordering an Auris TS to replace my Gen 3 Prius T-Spirit. Does the Auris have a hud? I would miss it if it doesn’t.
Also could you please advise typical delivery times from order?
Hi Hugh
Thanks for your post.
It is good to hear of your interest in the Auris Touring Sports however we do have to confirm that HUD is not available on this model. In terms of delivery times, we will hold a range of vehicles in stock but if it had to be built we we would usually be able to supply within 4 weeks (some colour and specifications might vary). The other point to mention is that this model is built in our UK plant in Derby so does not therefore require shipping from Japan which does of course help speed up this process.
Hope this helps but let us know if you have any other questions.
Many thanks for your reply David. Pity I can’t get one with a hud. Maybe Toyota could build me a special one with a hud – lol. Perhaps another Prius TSpirit will be the answer. Nice to have options to consider.
Hello Hugh
Thanks for your reply.
Out of interest I did check further with our product team. The reason for this is that we see Prius as our most advanced hybrid vehicle so some of the features available will only be specific to this model and HUD is a good example of this. It is the only Toyota vehicle we sell in our range with this feature so a one-off might prove difficult! A solar powered roof is another example of the additional technology that is featured on Prius. Hope this helps with the decision making process but let us know if you have any other questions.
Hi I wonder if you can tell me how to switch the odometer to trip A or trip B. I’ve tried holding the disp button down but this resets the average fuel consumption but not the trips
Hello Mike
Have you checked whether you have a button in the roof of your car by interior lights? Looks like a showerhead but if you have one of these then you can disable interior alarm.
Hope this helps.
Hello Karl
Thanks for your post.
The Display button on your steering wheel will scroll through each screen but to set the A and B odometer readings you need to push the small button which is located at the bottom right of the speedometer/power dials. You can then scroll through the trips but hold for more than 1 second to reset the readings to zero. Hope this helps explain but let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you Dave. It works just as you said!
