Toyota unveiled the Auris 3-door hatchback for European consumers today. The car will bear the Corolla name in other markets in the coming months. The 3-door offers the same amount of space as its five-door sibling, as they both have a 2.6m wheelbase. Standard features of the three-door Auris include electronic stability control and a MP3 capable CD player.
Powertrain options remain the same as the five-door: two petrol engines (1.4L 97HP/1.6L 124HP) and two diesel engines (2.0L 126HP/2.2L 177HP).
Some possible options of the Auris 3-door in the coming months include an optional AWD system and a V6 engine. The 3-door will be cheaper than its 5-door variant, costing €700 less than the equivalent latter. What may possibly be the best-looking Corolla won't reach our shores anytime soon. Follow the jump to view more images of the three-door Auris.

Toyota will not be able to ride the Corolla 'name' and 'reliability' forever - certainly not with other automakers deciding to spunk up their small cars. The Auris has a lot more flair than the current Corolla. We want the benefits of today's Corolla with the punch of the new Lancer or Saturn Astra. Check http://www.goodcarbadcar.blogspot.com
