There seems to be a lot of activity going on at Toyota at the moment – earlier, you saw spyshots of the new Fortuner on a trailer, looking ready for launch; now, Indonesian motoring portal AutonetMagz has revealed a leaked photo of the facelifted 2016 Toyota Avanza. The seven-seater MPV is also set to be unveiled soon, at the inaugural Gaikindo Indonesian International Auto Show 2015 in August.
Yes, we’ve seen a picture of the front end before, but here you get to see more clearly how much the fascia has changed compared to the outgoing model. Both the front fenders and the bonnet have been reprofiled – the latter now takes on a sort of clamshell form – and the headlights are now horizontal instead of vertical in design; they looks a little like the ones on the previous-generation Lexus RX.
But hang on, you may be wondering – didn’t the previous photo have a different front end treatment from this? Indeed, it was different; here, the large chrome bar linking the headlights have been retained, but rather than a large Honda HR-V-like upper grille, there are much slimmer twin inlets. The fascia is dominated instead by an enormous Vios-like downturned lower grille, connected to the fog lights.
Toyota seems intent to further differentiate the two different looks available on the Avanza, as they are sold as two separate models in Indonesia – the sportier version this replaces being sold as the Avanza Veloz. Over here, the more aggressive bumpers and side skirts are fitted to the top-spec 1.5S variant.
We’ve also seen the rear of the car previously, with restyled tail lights (incorporating ornamental elements that eat into the tailgate) and a new chrome number plate garnish. Elsewhere, expect the current 103 PS/136 Nm 1.5 litre and 91 PS/117 Nm 1.3 litre VVT-i engines to soldier on, mated to the same five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmissions.

Just facelift and old engine & drivetrain ,
I bet there’s no safety too as usual.
1 word from Jeremy Clarkson, Rubbish.
Yes, people don’t buy Toyota because it is pretty. People buy Toyota because it is the lowest cost of ownership.
Want pretty go get a Peugeot or Chevrolet. Then i wish you good luck!
In other words, for cheap people? who want to act luxurious by getting the godcar brand? Hahaha~~ low cost of ownership konon, old car sell so high price, maintenance not exactly cheap, kena con still so happy..
Low cost my ass~
Is buying a saga for 95k and paying interest on 85k a low cost of ownership? Because that is what you get when buying overpriced junks like vios TRD from UMW. No wonder ppl are laughing at you secretly.
and worse.. people still buy them!
For those considering this crap pls do a bit more research and test drive other cars…sadly though people still buys this toyota crap
they hired designers from Looney Tunes?
Ouch.
Another one of those “under priority” design… whatever that means…
Might as well copy the lexus spindle grill to boost sales…
So ugly!!!!!
What happen to Toyota designer? Why it is become uglier every time they introduce a new model? The old Avanza and Camry have better design. Only the new Corolla has a good design
because.. they are so stingy that they only want to change the grill and bumper. new design concept don’t go with 90’s design cue anymore.. but no worry. people still buy it.
FUGLY!!!
Ugly as ever..
Walau A, who is the designer?
Angry face with a mustache..
[Ugliness Intensifies]
I swear, Toyota’s doing this on purpose now.
Please, boss of Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia, you absolutely HAVE to fire your designers and hire more competent people. I’m not even joking, things are going from bad to worse !
from bad to worst…zZz
The blue one got diff side mirror?
can i have it for rm30K? lets shake hand UMW
Consider an 18 month old Elantra.
Should be around RM20k if you bargain hard. Sorhai tai lan ngongs are usually desperate
The white colour is ‘Toyota Wak doyok’..hahaha!
it is a van
just cosmetic plasticky stuff.
Safety and performance of the car is almost non existance, esp once UMW meddle with the car.
I sense a New model in development in Malaysia: The new Avanza TRD(sticker version)
Toyota is the only manufacture in the world that comes out with 2nd, 3rd and 4th facelift of same old junk.
Pay around rm70-80k get this ugly avanza? Auto Gearbox with 4speed only is terrible(same like 30year technology), and engine is old @ not improve in fuel effeciency. Worse is 2 airbag?
UMW Toyota should change its business……..
selling new antique cars….
Pls offer in 1.5 MT…
alphars wannabe..please buy this…same lorr gonna love this junk..
