Currently, the new powerplant is being built in Japan but from October 2009, the 1.33-litre Dual VVT-i engine will be produced at Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK's (TMUK) factory at Deeside in North Wales. On-the-road prices for the new Toyota Auris 1.33 Dual VVT-i with Stop&Start start in the U.K. at £12,705 for the entry-level T2 three-door while according to Toyota, accross the range, prices are just £200 more than for the equivalent, previous 1.4 VVT-i models.

Toyota is enhancing its Auris line-up with the introduction of a new 1.33-liter Dual VVT-i 4-cylinder gasoline engine that delivers lower emissions, better fuel economy and improved power and torque figures compared to the 1.4-liter unit it replaces in Europe. The new Auris 1.33 Dual VVT-i will also be the Japanese automaker's first model in Europe to benefit from a Stop & Start system. Notably, the new 4-cylinder unit is 54mm shorter and 127mm narrower than the previous 1.4-litre VVT-i and weights 13kg or 28pounds less. The result is a four-cylinder engine that is roughly the same size as Toyota's three-cylinder 1.0-litre VVT.
The 1.33-liter Dual VVT-i delivers an output of 101HP and 132 Nm of torque compared to the outgoing 1.4 VVT-i's 97HP and 130 Nm. The engine is also matched to a newly developed six-speed manual transmission that replaces Toyota's five-speed gearbox. Albeit more powerful, Toyota claims that the 1.33-liter engine delivers 17% lower CO2 emissions (135g/km) and a 19% improvement in fuel consumption (48.7mpg UK / 40.5 mpg US / 5.8 lt-100km combined cycle) compared to previous 1.4-liter VVT-i unit.

That sounds like a very nice little engine. Quite impressed the way they have got 100bhp out of a 1.3 with no turbo or super charging. Probably the best one to have in the range and should pair well with a 6-speeder. Only downside is the 0-60 seems a second or two slow for something with that bhp/weight ratio.
Honda was first with 100bhp from 1,3 in Jazz/Fit and Civic after face-lift.
Auris does not impress me with the acceleration.
Still a poor quality interior. engine will not help the car a lot.
the question is also reliability - toyota is not the same anymore.
uh no
suzuki swift 1.3 gti
101 bhp
very good data
Pleasant car to drive. Gear box smooth, drive smooth. Annoying up/down arrows on dash that indicate whether maximum fuel economy is being achieved are best ignored. Better to leave gear changes to engine "feel". Back seats extremely uncomfortable and offer no lumber support. Otherwise, a decent car.
