Power and fuel economy

A supercharged 3.5L V6 engine delivering 241kW of power and
400Nm of torque. All while maintaining an average fuel
consumption of 10.9L/100km^

^Fuel consumption will vary depending on driving conditions /
style, vehicle conditions and options / accessories. Source of
fuel consumption data: ADR81/01 combined cycle.

Dual VVT-i technology

The astounding powerplant of the TRD Aurion gives a perfect
example of our race-developed learnings in action. It starts
with Dual VVT-i technology that varies the timing to the intake
and exhaust valves throughout the rev range. So whether
you�re at idle, cruising or overtaking, the engine will optimse
fuel consumption and maximise power output to meet your
demands.

Unique TRD Sports Suspension

A unique sports suspension setup with springs that are lower and stiffer and a specially matched damper configuration puts more control into the body, thereby improving the overall handling performance and agility. Negative camber helps in that department too, giving the car less bodyroll in corners and more precise steering. All of which means agro never overtakes agility.

Drivers Assist Technologies (DAT)

For those times when the unexpected can't be avoided, the TRD Aurion boasts an array of Driver Assist Technologies (DAT) that are very reassuring. The sensors, actuators, and computing power of Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), for instance, continually ask questions of the road itself to anticipate and control skidding. Say, for example, you're on a winding alpine road when you hit a section of black-ice. Having sensed a break in traction, the VSC will automatically go to work by controlling the engine output and easing or increasing pressure on the front and rear brakes independently, to help you stay in control. Traction Control (TRC) also minimises wheel slippage to ensure acceleration is all it can be. Housed within a chassis optimised for rigidity and pitch control, it's technology that helps eliminate incidents before they unfold.

TRD Wheel and brake package

High friction performance pads and twin-piston aluminium performance callipers (single at rear) combine to give reassurance and consistent stopping power. The four 19x8" performance alloys improve brake ventilation and preserve impact resilience. Wrapped in 245/35ZR 19 Dunlop SportMaxx Performance tyres, they're the perfect link between the technology of the car and the surface of the road. AB-i (Active Braking with intelligence) comprising of: Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Anti-skid Braking System (ABS) and Brake Assist (BA) also plays a strong role in keeping you out of trouble.

Passive Safety

In the unlikely event that a collision can't be avoided you can rest a little easier knowing that the TRD Aurion also features driver and front passenger SRS airbags, as well as dual front side SRS and dual front and rear curtain shield airbags. Not forgetting pre-tensioning, force-limiting seat belts and sports seats which incorporate Whiplash Injury Lessening (WIL) technology.

Uniquely Australian design

Think statement, not screaming. Purposeful, not poseur. Evocative, not extreme. The design aspect of the TRD Aurion is a dynamic exhibition of form and function created by a team of passionate performance engineers right here in Australia.

TRD Body Kit

The racetrack-inspired 'R' from the TRD logo blends subtly into the mesh of the front grille. The body kit, including a twin plane rear spoiler & side skirts answers the question of aerodynamic efficiency with stirring design. The front air dam, for example, isn't simply aesthetically similar to Toyota's F1 design but is functionally similar too, providing impressive downforce and roadholding.

Rear sports bumper with 'Venturi Style' diffusers

Even the exhaust tips, so often an afterthought in performance cars, were looked at critically – did they have to be simply 'bolted on'? To match up to our high aesthetic demands in the same way as the rest of the car does, they've been integrated into the rear bumper.

19" Alloy wheels

Four 19x8" alloy wheels and low profile tyres complete the picture giving the TRD Aurion a muscular yet refined look. *19x8" performance alloy wheels (silver) shown on 3500SL with TRD performance brake package
