The Auris was released on February 1, 2007 in the United Kingdom. It replaces the Toyota Corolla hatchback. With a fresh design and upmarket features including an MP3/WMA player, Toyota aims to position the Auris at the higher end of the lower-medium segment to lure buyers from competing cars, such as Volkswagen Golf, Vauxhall Astra and the Alfa Romeo 147.[citation needed] Trim levels are T2, T3, and T Spirit. The higher end T180 model went on sale in the UK during April 2007.
