The European D-segment Toyota Avensis has been given another shot in the arm, seven years into production. The refreshed T270 will make its debut in both sedan and estate forms at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show in March.
Just the front end has been revealed so far, along with precious little information, but already it appears that the revisions run deeper than those recently applied to the larger US-market Avalon. Completely revised by Toyota’s Design Studio ED2 in France, the front fascia brings the flagship closer in looks to the Auris and European-market Corolla (which we get here as the Altis).
The headlights are broader, slimmer; there also appear to be two different internal graphics, one with individual LED daytime running lights and another with sleeker tube-type units. The upper grille is also narrower than before, while the lower grille has grown much larger in size.
The company promises a new range of engines intended to appeal to fleet and private buyers alike, with the BMW-sourced 1.6 litre D-4D diesel from the Verso expected to be on offer. A revised chassis and a reworked interior are also reportedly on the cards for the facelifted Avensis.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
To be honest, it looks really good!
Reliable, comfort, fuel consumption, safety, style, good RV… Toyota is your best choice!
This is actually a fine car. Pity Toyota doesn’t offer it in Malaysia…
It could have been a ‘best choice’…when distributorship comes into play,this statement is hardly believable. Just take ‘safety’ out of its qualities. Not the best one now is it? Lel
Good RV ain’t a greater priority than safety,so why don’t you up your ante in safety first? We consumers demand better safety for what we pay for,and do it for those unaware of it!
Not UMW’s Toyota. Fugly, old tech, not safe and most of all boring as heck. Go ahead get an UMW Toyota, drying paint probably has more personality than you.
Of late, toyota is (in)famous for their facelift effort….
Car Designers probably sleeping on the job…..and just passed their responsibilities to car part manufacturers…
As long as its not a kimchi, it will have RV
this toyota dual vvti engine for faggot only.. real guys get ivtec.. ivtec technically superior than dual vvti.. only stupid buy dual vvti over ivtec.. and honda more fun to drive than toyota.. honda is bmw asia.. but superior in engine technicals and more reliable than a bmw.. only bmw looks premium.. toyota?? not a chance
haha as much as I would like to admit its a pretty good looking car, why no one mention that the FL Avensis side profile looks ALOT LIKE the Hyundai i40 wagon?
Woohoo… the Japs are copying from the Koreans.. Can’t blame them totally though… if they continue to rely on their in house so called designers, the Avensis will prob end up looking like the Innova with bigger wheels…
In Europe, the customers are much more discerning. No amount of strong advertising can save your company if your products looks and drives like shit…
In SE Asia unfortunately, people pay top dollar for some seriously old tech and drivetrain. And still feeling smug for selecting a ‘great’ car…
Toyota SE Asia marketing dept doesn’t need to work too hard. Just parade around with the T badge will do.
nice Toyota avensis and Toyota camry go for them
