The Toyota Auris arrived in the UK in 2006 as a replacement for the Corolla hatchback, while the saloon model retained its name. After a new generation in 2012, the Auris continued in production through 2019 before it was replaced once again with the Corolla nameplate. During the updates provided by Toyota, the Auris remained refined and fun to drive, making it appealing to younger drivers or those looking for a first car.

Different generations of used Toyota Auris
Second Generation (2012 to 2019)
For the second generation, Toyota gave the Auris a bolder appearance with more angled headlights and air scoops on the front bumper sides. The V-shape grille gave it a sporty look, and a variety of wheel designs allowed for more customisation.
A 2015 update helped the Auris meet Euro 6b emission standards and provided a new front bumper with a lower, wider grille. This redesign added LED Daytime Running Lights, offering enhanced visibility.

First Generation (2007 to 2012)
The Auris was released to take over the Corolla hatchback lineup, leaving the popular nameplate to cover just the saloon models. Toyota used the letters '-is' in the name so that it would relate to the Avensis and Yaris. With the new nameplate came a completely upgraded style, designed to specifically appeal to younger buyers.
In 2010, a refreshed model arrived with sportier bumper designs on the front and back. A downward V grille was also added, though the profile looked the same. Some models came with a roof spoiler, which added some aerodynamic benefits that lowered emissions.
