I am surprised you are asking the question when there are plenty of sources for info - https://www.toyota.co.uk/new-cars/auris/index/specifications plus there is the brochure available from the dealership. I have a brochure date October 2015 and the five grades are shown with all the features. The current brochure seems to be similar, with a few minor changes -  https://www.toyota.co.uk/download/cms/gben/auris_tcm-3060-602965.pdf. 
I have found the 2016 brochure whilst typing (multitasking) - auris.pdf

Hope this helps and also note some of the changes in grade specifications between the years.

No problems. It's not always easy to get the information. It takes time and sometimes the clues are a little obscure. It will be interesting to know what you get.

On handover of my new car the other day we discovered that I knew more about the Avensis, it's history & changes (& issues) than the "Product Genius" that was meant to show it all to me. Even though I had never used a Touch 2 system previously I was able to find settings etc. that he didn't even know were there.

The salesman had an inkling of this so he had come along to sit in the back & have a laugh at the other guy's expense as I asked the "Product Genius" questions that he didn't know the answer to ...

Always nice to be armed with the full info prior to a test drive 👍

to be fair, it is my 3rd Avensis in under 10 years ...

I had to show a friend and set up the sat-nav and auto functions on her '15 plate Mazda 2, a few days ago, because the dealer or garage turned off the functions. I knew the Mazda because it was by a mutual friend who passed away a couple of years ago. I too showed her the functions and showed her how the phone was paired. With the current owner, I had to reprogramme the sat-nav to her home address, because it was showing the old home address. 
Sales People sometimes don't know what they are selling or how to work the item. I always research anything I am interested in - 🚗🚙🚲📱📸📺📹🛠🎧

Thing is that, this dealer at least has a "Product Genius" (it says so in large letters on his jacket ) whose job it is to train people on the ins & outs of their new cars when they pick them up & not leave it to the salesman (aka the salesman's time is more valuable to the dealer than the "Product Genius" 's).

But I am the same, most times over the years when I have been buying a new car I got the distinct feeling that I knew more about the product than the salesman ...
