Toyota Auris hybrid on the way?!


The all-new Prius will cost in Japan, when it goes on sale in May, ¥2.05m (earlier post). Although its price will be higher than Honda's Insight, Toyota will continue to offer the current Prius in Japan, with prices starting from ¥1.89m (earlier post) in order to be competitive.

In an effort to better compete with the "cheaper-than-Prius" new Insight from Honda, Toyota will launch a hybrid version of the Auris hatchback in Europe next year (using a 1.8 l engine).

What are Toyota's plans for the US market remains unknown.
