Frequently asked questions
Which Toyota Auris engine is the most reliable?
1.8 Hybrid (2ZR-FXE) (Auris E180) — Proven verdict. The Auris Hybrid uses Toyota's proven HSD with the 2ZR-FXE Atkinson engine — the same supremely reliable system as the Prius. No clutch/gearbox wear, the engine runs unstressed (and in Atkinson hybrid form doesn't show the oil-burning of the regular 2ZR), and the only age item is hybrid-battery health. An excellent, low-running-cost used buy; verify the battery and service history.
