3.5L all-alloy quad-cam V6 with dual VVT-i
In this game, big power comes without big fuel consumption. The engine's 200kW output is made possible by technologies like dual VVT-i and friction-reducing roller rockers. It is also the most powerful engine ever in an Australian built Toyota. Aurion V6 is rewriting the rules about power and economy, with emissions that meet tough Euro IV standards.
6-speed sequential shift automatic
An all new transmission is shifting the game. Aurion is the first Australian big 6 with a 6-speed auto standard across the range. With low speed lock-up and semi-lock-up, it offers improved economy. Artificial Intelligence (AI) shift control determines the optimum shift pattern based on the driver's needs and road conditions. It also selects the right gear when climbing hills to prevent unnecessary up-shifting, while on descents it shifts down to optimise engine braking. Or you have the option of sequential shifting, giving you a more direct driving involvement.
Driver Assist Technology
A package of Driver Assist Technologies uses computer intelligence to aid handling in challenging conditions. Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) employs the sensors, actuators and computer electronics of the braking and traction control systems to help anticipate and control skidding when cornering. By controlling engine output as well as brakes on the front and rear wheels, VSC allows you to drive confidently, in particular when you encounter a greasy or uneven surface.
When accelerating on marginal traction surfaces such as wet or gravel roads, traction control (TRC) minimises drive wheel slippage, helping a driver maintain steering precision and acceleration control. TRC ensures that a vehicle accelerates in the intended direction at the optimal rate.
Suspension tuned for Australia
Up front, McPherson struts mellow out the ride on our often unrefined roads, while the rear suspension layout is an independent chapman strut with 3 links. Multi-leaf linear control valves improve damping performance, for improved comfort. Greater use of high strength steel in the body structure gives the suspension a rigid structure to aid the car's stability and handling.
Sportivo handling package
The Sportivo ZR6 and SX6 models benefit from the more responsive handling of a firmer sports suspension system. A V-shaped brace keeps the rear suspension towers aligned and provides greater body rigidity for enhanced cornering. Firmer spring and stabiliser bar settings optimise cornering control even further, by reducing body roll and sharpening steering response even further. So you can play this game with nimble handling and greater control.
