We've already seen details and a pair of official photos of Toyota's refreshed 2010 Auris for the European market, but now we have a comprehensive image gallery of both the three- and five-door hatchback versions of the car shot during a media event in Europe.
For 2010, the Auris has been pepped up with a new front end that includes a restyled grille, swept-back headlamps, new bumper and revised bonnet profile, while at the back, the tail lamp clusters are revised and there's a new rear bumper with extended corner sections.
Inside, the new Auris has been upgraded with a new centre console and revised Optitron dials with white illumination, while Toyota also added soft-touch materials on the top of the instrument panel and around the glovebox.
Under the skin, Toyota's engineers fine tuned the Auris' suspension and speed-sensitive Electric Power Steering (EPS).
The standard Auris retains its current range of petrol and diesel engines and six-speed manual and MultiMode transmissions.
The facelifted Auris will have its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March alongside the production version of the Auris HSD Hybrid.

it is pretty stylish for such a small car, yet not overdone.
"it is pretty stylish for such a small car, yet not overdone."
Wrong. The last time a Toyota was ever 'stylish' was 1985 with the respective Supra, Celica, and MR2 of that period.
When will the US get an econo diesel?
Im begining to love this car, its got a lovely, simple yet winning design on it.
Great! Ill let my grandmother know so she can update hers..
At least she has common sense! Seen in in real life next to 2010 Golf and the Golf looks boring and outdated.
Are these official Toyota press office photos? If they are, whats with the sandy floor mat and accelerator pedal, surely a quick brush up before the shoot would look more professional.....
ooops...who said floor mat and accelerator pedal in the same sentence as Toyota
^ lol! Good eye! Floormats are definately not shown and likely for that very reason!
