2017 Toyota Auris VVT-h Hybrid Hatchback

Description

So, I’ve had this 2017 Toyota Auris VVT-h hybrid for a bit now — it’s a white hatchback with the automatic transmission, and it’s been a real joy to drive. I bought it second-hand, and it’s been well looked after with just one previous owner. Low mileage, clean service history, and it’s ULEZ-compliant, which means it’s good for city driving without any issues.

Inside, there’s a 7-inch touchscreen with Toyota Touch 2 — I’ve used it for phone calls via Bluetooth, DAB radio, and USB/Aux. Cruise control helps keep things smooth on long drives, and the reversing camera plus front and rear parking sensors make parking a breeze. I’ve also got hill start assist, which is handy when you’re starting off on a slope. The rear privacy glass gives it a clean, modern look too, and the LED daytime running lights help you see better in the dark.

It’s a petrol hybrid, so it’s pretty efficient — not flashy, but gets good miles per gallon. I’ve had it serviced recently, and it’s been running well. I’ve actually been using it for my daily commute and weekend trips, and it’s held up really well.

I’m not selling it to someone who just wants to buy a car to impress — I’m selling it because I’ve moved to Sandbach, Cheshire East, and it’s time to upgrade. I’ve kept it in great shape, and it’s been through a full Certified Fresh prep — which means it’s been checked thoroughly for mechanicals, safety, and everything else. That’s the standard I trust in used cars, and I’ve only ever seen it in a few places.

I’ve got two keys and it’s backed by a 6-month Select warranty, which gives me a bit of peace of mind. If you want extra cover, there’s a Premium warranty available too — 12, 14, or 36 months with roadside help, key cover, and more.

It’s not cheap — I’m not saying it is — it’s actually worth about £12,231, but I’m not going to advertise that. What matters is that it’s reliable, practical, and actually runs well.

I’m not a dealer, I’m just a regular person who wanted to keep a good car in a good place. If you’re thinking about a reliable, low-maintenance hatchback that doesn’t eat through your fuel, this might be worth a look.

If you’re interested, I can point you to the website where you can reserve it for £99 — no pressure, just a quick check. I’m based in Sandbach, Cheshire East, so it’s not far if you’re local.

Let me know if you’ve driven one before — I’d love to hear what you think.
