Rumours have emerged
that Toyota is planning to remove the Avensis from its new car range by
the end of the decade. According to sources at
BusinessDay, the Japanese car maker looks set to call time on the
Avensis by 2020, switching attention to launching a new vehicle into the
mid-sized car market. While no official announcement has been made by
Toyota yet, the news provides the perfect opportunity
to summarise what has made the Avensis so memorable over the last 17
years. Here’s a look at the Toyota Avensis story to date:
The early days
The Toyota Avensis raced
onto the scene back in 1997 as a reliable and exceptionally designed
alternative to the popular Ford Mondeo. Available as a hatchback, a
saloon and an estate, the car caught the eye because
of its appealing emissions rating and standout level of performance.
Families found plenty to love about the original Avensis, not least the
spacious interior that enabled parents and children to be comfortable
throughout their ride from A to B. On top of
all of this, there was plenty of joy to be had while driving the first
generation Avensis. This is because a smooth clutch combined with a
light gear change kept stress levels at a minimum for those behind the
steering wheel.
The (not-so) difficult second chapter
Toyota was always going
to face a challenge when it came to providing a sequel to the original
Avensis. However, the Japanese manufacturer passed the test with flying
colours. Launched in 2003 (source),
one of the main selling points about the second generation Toyota
Avensis was just how at ease it made drivers feel. This was epitomised
by the fact the vehicle came equipped with nine airbags as standard —
making it among the safest family cars on the market
at the time. Those who opted for a second generation Avensis with a
T180 diesel engine also enjoyed the additional benefit of a nimble
drive.
The here and now
How could Toyota top a
car that is reliable and a successor which is incredibly safe? The
solution is simple; go for the economical approach.
Unveiled at the 2008 Paris Motor Show before going on sale the
following year, every third generation Toyota Avensis other than those
with D-4D 150 auto and 180 T-Spirit Tourer engines were able to keep CO2
emissions below 160g/km (Source).
The newest variety also captures plenty of attention thanks to its elegant exterior design.
