Aurion costs less to run than any other large family car sold in Australia, according to a NRMA survey.
The survey released today says the Toyota Aurion Touring has the lowest running costs in its class.
Its operating costs are just 79.68 cents per kilometre - the only large car under 80 cents per kilometre.
The NRMA said it is a repeat victory for Aurion as the most economical car in its class.
The survey covers 1,200 new vehicles with calculations based on a private owner driving 15,000km a year over five years.
The formula takes into account factors including the negotiated vehicle price, depreciation, registration, comprehensive insurance, NRMA membership, maintenance, repairs and fuel.
Aurion, powered by a 200kW 3.5-litre V6 engine, has won many awards for its overall value, safety, build quality, performance, fuel economy and sound resale value.
Australia's motoring clubs, including the NRMA, have named the Aurion AT-X as Australia's best large car on three occasions.
