Toyota Auris 2018

The car is a 2018 UK‑spec Toyota Auris Design (the Corolla name at the time). It has 120,000 km, with 100,000 km from its first year as a UK company car, fully maintained by Toyota. It was exported to Ireland in late 2019 and bought by us in 2020; we’ve added ~20,000 trouble‑free km since. All servicing and pre‑NCT checks were done at Sandyford Toyota. A standout feature is IPA (Intelligent Parking Assist), never offered on Irish Auris models. It detects parallel spaces and parks the car automatically with surprising precision. See the video in the gallery on how it works. It’s a self‑charging hybrid (1.3 kWh battery, 140 hp combined). The battery recovers braking energy, boosts torque and smoothness, and can power the car in EV mode for short stretches. Never crashed; one scratch and one dent from parking incidents, shown in the photos.
