How Safe Is The New Auris ?
Safety
Toyota Auris HSD has not yet been tested by EuroNCAP. Instead, an independent European body has tested the standard version of Auris in 2006. At that time, the Japanese model won five out of five stars possible. For those who still have doubts, folks from Toyota equipped Auris with seven airbags, the seventh being the driver's knees. The model also benefits from ESP which can not be decoupled and numerous other safety systems that help the driver to avoid an accident.
Ride
In case of roadholding, Auris has suffered along with its hybridization. More specifically, the model is equipped with wheels and tires more narrower than its non-hybrid siblings, and this says its word when it comes to handling.
We speak of a trend seen both in critical situations and in situations where speed approached a turn. This trend is so pronounced that you'll notice understeer even in situations where a compact oriented comfort will not occur this way.
Obviously, we are talking here of a model who is not intended to address cornering speed and attacking with all his energy coil, but this does not mean that we can overdo indulgence. Even his older brother, Prius, is behaving in a manner something better on the road.
The explanation lies in the fact that the Prius was designed specifically to be a hybrid and has a slightly larger gauge, with a slightly larger wheelbase, while Auris HSD was equipped with narrow wheels and tires, which must "lead" approximately 200 extra pounds. The difference translates into a higher level of handling and cornering stability.
Visibility
Auris HSD show no problems in terms of visibility, the model is equipped with good-sized side mirrors and a central mirror that can track objects smoothly behind you. When running in reverse, the model has a camera that displays in the rearview mirror with integrated LCD display and discreet.
