Icon trim?includes 16in alloy wheels, automatic LED headlights, heated front seats, 8in touchscreen infotainment system with reversing camera. The step-up Icon Tech trim starts from ￡23,620 and adds a 7in digital instrument cluster, parking sensors and built-in sat-nav.

Design spec cars begin at ￡24,645 and get 17in alloys, rain-sensing wipers, electric heated wing mirrors and rear front fog lights, plus an optional panoramic sunroof, while top-end Excel grade models start from ￡28,615 and get bi-LED headlights, keyless entry, sports front seats and part-leather upholstery.?Only Design models and above can be equipped with Toyota's new 2.0-litre hybrid engine.

Styled in Toyota’s European design centre, the Corolla Touring Sports shares much with the hatchback from the C-Pillar forward.

Further back, a rising shoulder line and flared wheel arches mark it out from the side view, while a sloping roofline and steeply raked rear window are intended to give the estate?an appearance more akin to a shooting brake. Full LED rear lights complete the restyle. Four two-tone colours will be offered at launch, alongside an array of standard shades.??

The new Toyota Auris is super-rational and a good ownership proposition, but it lacks character and dynamics of the best in class
