Toyota anticipates a 1/3 full hybrid, 1/3 gasoline, 1/3 diesel engine mix. This fell to 142 g/km in 2009, and then down to 125 g/km in 2011 after the pioneering full hybrid version was introduced. This has been achieved within the new Auris gasoline engine range through the use of high, 11.5:1 Valvematic gasoline engine.
