Toyota Auris review in Kenya

Before writing this article, we had a chance to drive the Toyota Auris, here is what we have to say about this vehicle’s features and performance.

Comfort

Auris is a comfortable vehicle to be in, the legroom is good. The seats are comfortable and there are even leather options and heated seats. There are other features that enhance comfort such as air conditioners. What we did not like about this vehicle is that it has a lot of cheap plastic in the cabin, that is the dashboard and the door panels.

Driving experience

With a ground clearance of 5.9 inches, you will have trouble cruising some speed bumps on Kenyan roads. The handling of the Toyota Auris is great since it gives a firm grip on the road and has little body roll. The CVT transmission is not that great when it comes to driving thrill but it gives a very smooth drive.

Reliability

Toyota Auris is well known for its reliability, in fact, it is among the most reliable cars in Kenya. With good maintenance and service, you will not experience breakdowns. Maintaining the car is also easy since spare parts are easily available in the country.

Value for money

The new model Toyota Auris in Kenya is comfortable, reliable and has great fuel economy. It is hence a value for money since it is among the top hot hatches in Kenya. The driving performance is not that great and you might have to consider another hot hatch if you are interested in a great driving experience.
