2007–2009 Toyota Auris 2.2 D-CAT Specs & Performance

The Toyota Auris 2.2 D-CAT gives the first-generation hatchback a stronger, more performance-focused diesel character. Its five-door layout, practical cabin, and flexible luggage space make it a useful choice for everyday commuting and family journeys. While the Auris is designed around straightforward practicality, this version adds the pulling power of a larger turbocharged diesel engine, giving it a different character from the smaller-engined models. Its compact proportions and front-wheel-drive layout retain the convenience expected of a family hatchback, making it a capable everyday car with an extra measure of performance.

For the 2007–2009 model range, the Auris 2.2 D-CAT features a turbocharged 2.2-litre inline-four diesel producing 175 hp at 3,600 rpm and 295 lb-ft of torque at 2,000 rpm. Its six-speed manual transmission sends power to the front wheels. AutoSpecsHub lists a top speed of 130 mph and a 0–60 mph time of 7.8 seconds. The listed curb weight is 3,329 lbs, combined fuel economy is 38 mpg, and luggage capacity ranges from 12.5 to 47.1 cubic feet.
