Toyota has revealed first pictures of its new generation Auris, which will be built at the company's plant in Britain, writes Brian Byrne.
The new car is longer, lower and lighter than its predecessor and incorporates the latest version of Toyota's front end design, with elements similar to that on the current Avensis.
The profile view is also much sleeker than the current Auris, and is likely to make the model much more interesting to younger owners.
Toyota says it expects a third of sales in Europe to be petrol-hybrid. The other powertrain options are petrol and diesel.
