Toyota Unveils TRD Supercharged Auris In South Africa

[AutoGuide.com]

At the Johannesburg International Motor Show in South Africa, Toyota introduced their latest 5-door hatch in TRD supercharged form. The Auris TRD will feature a supercharged 1.6L with 178-hp and 149 lb-ft of torque, up 48-hp and 31 lb-ft from the standard model and looks to be launched sometime in November.

Even though the Auris is not sold in North America, the Auris has become fairly popular in other markets as the successor of the popular Corolla. The TRD variant is poised to replace the SportX in South Africa, with TRD also adding a sportier suspension and a body kit in addition to the supercharger.

No pricing was announced for the Auris TRD.

Because it's not boring enough for our market...I even think the interior is miles ahead of my Corolla . IMO, it would be great to see the Auris replace the Corolla. And no one could say that the Camry looks like a bigger Corolla
