The ALL New Toyota Avensis made his public debut at 2008 Paris Motor Show.
Types :
The new Toyota Avensis is available in two bodystyles - sedan and wagon.
Body Details:
The new Toyota Avensis has the 2700mm wheelbase, same as of the current ongoing second generation model, but according to Toyota, they claim it as a new platform or perhaps an advanced old one which they think should have the new term. If we compare this D-segment sedan with Camry’s 2776mm wheelbase we will come to know it's slightly shorter than it. But that's the way European like their D-segment sedans so it's quite normal for them.
Engine Details:
Toyota Avensis is available in wide range of engines, starting from 1.6L Petrol to a 2.2L D-4D Turbo diesel. ALL The petrol engines come preloaded with their new Valvematic technology which incorporates continuously variable valve lift together with VVT-i valve timing control.
