The Toyota Auris is a compact 3 door and 5 door hatchback which shares the same E platform with the Toyota Corolla. In Europe, Toyota positioned the Auris as the replacement of Corolla Hatchback, while the notchback Sedan continued by the Corolla nameplate.
The Auris succeeds the Corolla RunX in Japan and the RunX (no Corolla badging) in South Africa.
Toyota Australia and Toyota New Zealand resisted suggestions from Toyota Japan to adopt the new European Auris name for the Corolla citing the experience of Nissan Australia where the Tiida replaced the well known Pulsar name. The new Corolla was released in Australia in May-June, 2007. The Toyota Matrix redesign will be based on the Auris.
