The Toyota Aurion (XV40) is the original series of the Aurion, a mid-size car produced by Toyota in Australia (at Altona) from October 2006 to January 2012 — essentially a Toyota Camry (XV40) with revised front and rear ends, interior changes and Australian-tuned suspension, replacing the Avalon (XX10) in Australasia and the Middle East and, in most of East and Southeast Asia, sold simply as the Camry (with the original Camry sold alongside the Aurion in Australasia). To differentiate it Toyota equipped the Aurion exclusively with the 3.5-litre 2GR-FE V6 (the Camry got only the 2.4-litre four), with dual VVT-i and the six-speed U660E automatic: 200 kW (268 hp) and 336 N·m (248 lb·ft), 4 kW more on 95 RON premium fuel, 0–100 km/h in 7.4 seconds and a claimed top speed of 228 km/h (142 mph), Euro IV compliant at 9.9 L/100 km. Toyota Australia unveiled it on 9 February 2006 at the Melbourne International Motor Show alongside the Aurion Sportivo concept; 111,140 Aurions were sold over the ten-year Australian production span, and the name comes from the Greek for "tomorrow".

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
