This is the Toyota Auris Hybrid ? specifically, the 1.8 Hybrid Icon Tech with Toyota Safety Sense and a CVT gearbox. Finished in a proper red and having covered 44,296 miles, it?s the sort of car that doesn?t shout about what it can do. It just gets on with the business of being extremely good at everything it was designed for. The hybrid system is classic Toyota ? dependable, seamless, and eerily quiet around town. It uses a 1.8-litre petrol engine paired with an electric motor, and the result is something that sips fuel, emits very little, and rarely troubles your wallet or your nerves. The CVT adds to the calm ? no gear changes, no drama, just consistent forward motion, like gliding on rails. Inside, the Icon Tech trim gives you all the essentials and then some ? sat nav, reversing camera, Bluetooth, and of course, Toyota Safety Sense, which includes things like pre-collision warning, lane departure alert, and adaptive cruise. It?s like driving around in a slightly cautious but very clever robot. Is it exciting? Not in the traditional sense. But is it smart, sensible, and ruthlessly efficient? Absolutely. The Auris is a car for people who like things to work ? and stay working.
