Katie is Ireland's triple World and five-time European Amateur Boxing champion and has been a Toyota ambassador since 2010.

Commenting on the Auris Hybrid, Katie said: "Not only do I love the look of the Auris Hybrid, but as a person with a strong interest in the protection of the environment for future generations, I also love the fact that I'm driving a car that was created with the future of the environment in mind.

"It's also an incredibly quiet and comfortable car, which makes for a really relaxed and stress-free driving experience."

Marketing Operations Manager for Toyota Ireland, Ian Corbett, said at the presentation that Katie has been a hugely popular champion and is an outstanding role model. "We think she's the perfect ambassador for the new Auris Hybrid. Toyota Ireland would like to wish Katie the very best of luck in her future career."
