2009 Toyota Avensis

Description

Designed and engineered in Europe and built at Toyota's Burnaston factory in the UK , the all-new third generation Toyota Avensis has its world premiere at the Paris motor show. Building on the success of its predecessors, Toyota's new European flagship delivers a new level of superior quality, dynamic handling and refined ride comfort. New Toyota Avensis will also contribute to a reduction in Toyota's fleet average CO2 emissions to 140g/km by 2009. The Toyota Optimal Drive philosophy has been applied through a range of new petrol engines, upgraded diesel engines and new, advanced transmissions, giving customers reduced emissions without compromising power and driving pleasure. New Toyota Avensis will be available in saloon and Tourer body styles. These were designed in parallel, so the Toyota Avensis Tourer was designed specifically for its purpose, rather than being a saloon with a raised and stretched rear. Both versions have an athletic and sleek appearance. The bonnet has been lowered, the slim A-pillars flow forwards and the C-pillar is slanted backwards to produce a flowing silhouette. Excellent aerodynamics gives a Cd figure of 0.28 for the saloon and 0.29 for the Toyota Avensis Tourer, helping reduce CO2 emissions. New Toyota Avensis is only 50mm longer than the previous generation model, giving an overall length of 4695 for the saloon and 4765 for the Toyota Avensis Tourer. Both have a 2700mm wheelbase and are 1480mm tall - the same height as the current Toyota <b>...</b>
