The Toyota Prius V (http://www.autoblog.com/toyota/prius+v/) has a lot to recommend it, but adventurous and sporty styling is not in its repertoire. That's why this new Auris Touring Sports (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/02/19/toyota-auris-gets-new-touring-sports-variant/) has our attention. Claimed to be the "first full hybrid estate car" in the compact class, this two-box Auris has genuine visual panache to go with its load-lugging capability and parsimonious fuel economy. In the metal, we think its v-shaped grille and headlamp treatment acquits itself better than it does on the new RAV4 (http://www.autoblog.com/toyota/rav4/), a model that shares its new design language.
Built by Toyota (http://www.autoblog.com/toyota/) UK, the Auris Touring Sports hybrid is powered by a familiar-sounding 1.8-liter gas engine paired with an electric motor, with total system output quoted at 134 horsepower. The model will also be available in a variety of gas or diesel trims if you prefer your vehicle sans electrification (a non-hybrid model is shown). It goes on sale later this year in Europe, but don't hold your breath to see one in North America. Still interested?
