Toyota Avensis facelifted
15 Sep 2011|7,402 views
While overall dimensions remain the same as the previous model, the mid-size sedan and the Tourer estate version gets a fresh face with a redesigned grille that has a chrome upper “lip” and new, narrower headlights that incorporate daytime running lights. At the rear, both body styles gain redesigned tail lamps. The sedan also sports a new rear bumper design with a centre guard and a chrome trim for the license plate, while depending on the trim level, the Avensis is offered with 16-inch steel or 17- or 18-inch alloy wheels.Inside, the dashboard has received some minor tweaks to improve the ease of use of the centre console switchgear, while the instruments have white instead of red backlighting. The cabin also gets new upholstery and higher quality trim on several parts, like the door grips, the switchgear and the centre console.
Another addition to the 2012 facelifted Avensis is the new multimedia system, which is offered in three versions: Touch, Touch and Go and Touch and Go Plus. All versions have a 6.1-inch touch-screen, Bluetooth connectivity, rear-view parking camera, automatic phone book access, audio streaming and vehicle settings display as standard, with features like full map navigation, speed warning, SMS messaging, 3D landmarks, e-mail and an 11-speaker audio system added to the two other versions, depending on specifications and market.
The Toyota Avensis already has a five-star Euro NCAP crash test safety rating, but Toyota is now offering even more active and passive safety systems for even better protection. Chief among them is the optional Pre-Crash safety system that uses a radar sensor to scan the road and warn the driver of potential hazards. When the driver brakes, it activates the seatbelt pre-tensioners and provide added braking power. If it detects that a collision is imminent, it will automatically apply full force braking in order to reduce the severity of the accident. Other options include an adaptive cruise control and a lane departure warning system, while systems like ABS with EBD and Electronic Stability and Traction Control are standard.
Under the bonnet, Toyota has modified the 2.0-litre D-4D diesel engine with 124bhp by adding a turbocharger and modifying the combustion chamber. As a result, average fuel consumption has been reduced, and CO2 emissions have now been lowered by about 15%.
