Derived from the Latin word "aurum" (gold) and the English word "aura," the name signifies a car with a distinct aura.
The Japanese model was initially powered by either a 1.5-liter DOHC 16-valve engine (1NZ-FE) or a 1.8-liter DOHC 16-valve unit (2ZR-FE). In a minor model change in October 2009, the 1.8-liter unit was replaced with the 2ZR-FAE valvematic engine, further improving the environmental performance and fuel efficiency. The new 1.5-liter model also featured improved fuel economy. An RS grade option was added to the 1.8-liter valvematic model, featuring a 6-speed manual transmission for the first time since the MR-S.
In 2010, production of the hybrid Auris started for the first time in Europe at the TMUK plant in Derbyshire, UK.
