Toyota Auris hybrid starts rolling off Toyota's Burnaston UK assembly lines

摘要

Toyota this week rolled out its first UK-made petrol-electric Auris hybrid. Equipped with the same hybrid drive system as the Prius, which was first to get this particular hybrid ball rolling with great effect, Toyota annually plans to build up to 30,000 Auris hybrids in the UK, which are aimed entirely at the wider European market. In the UK, where it goes on sale later next month, the base version of the 5-door Auris hybrid will be priced at ￡18,950. That's just ￡555 cheaper than its already well established same DNA Prius stable mate. UK Prius prices start at ￡19,505.
