Toyota Auris Touring Sports estate 2015 pictures

The Toyota Auris Touring Sports is a medium-sized, five-door estate

The Touring Sports competes with estates including the Skoda Octavia and Vauxhall Astra

If you don't need an estate there's a five-door hatchback version, too

Taller passengers will find the Touring Sports is cramped in the rear

Dashboard is clear, well laid-out and well put together, but looks a little drab

With the rear seats folded down the load space is a very impressive 1,635 litres

It may be called Touring Sports but there’s nothing sporty about the way this car handles

The Touring Sports is available with petrol, diesel or hybrid power

The Touring Sports has a five-star Euro NCAP crash safety rating

Reliability shouldn't be an issue and even the hybrid version should give trouble-free service

The Touring Sports is sharply styled at the front

As the window sticker says, the Touring Sports has a five-year warranty

Space for the driver and passenger up front is only average

Sat nav is reserved for higher-spec versions

A DAB digital radio is standard on the Icon, the second trim in the range

Air-conditioning is standard on all Touring Sports models

The Icon version and above have Bluetooth phone connectivity

A tonneau cover to keep your valuables out of sight is standard on all versions

With the rear seats in place, the Touring Sports has a 507-litre boot

Depending on wheel sizes, the hybrid version does around 75mpg and emits around 85g/km CO2
