Toyota updates Aurion
Japanese adds more gear to large sedan range.
Toyota has added extra standard features to its entry- and mid-level Aurion models, increasing the value of the struggling large sedan on the run into the end-of-financial-year sales.
The current generation V6-powered Aurion will be the last built in Australia ahead of the Japanese brand's exit from local manufacturing in 2017.
The entry-level Aurion AT-X variant now rides on 17-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels, a premium four-spoke steering wheel and gear shift lever and all Aurion models are now fitted with rear ISOFIX points. The AT-X's price remains at $36,490 plus on road costs.
Stepping up to the mid-range Sportivo model gets you satellite navigation, 10 speaker JBL sound system, digital radio, seven-inch touchscreen and rear-window power sunshade. These features are optional on the base AT-X model, and cost $1750 extra.
The Sportivo also gets redesigned black 18-inch alloy wheels as standard.
The extra equipment adds $3000 to the list price of the Sportivo bringing it to $43,990 before on-road and dealer costs.
The range-topping Presara model can option the Sportivo's 18-inch alloy wheels and revised suspension and steering for an extra $1000.
