2009 Toyota Avensis Tourer
An all new, British-built, Toyota Avensis will make its world debut on 2 October 2008 at the fashionable Paris motor show.
Taking centre stage on the Toyota stand Avensis has a sleek design that reflects the car's strong and dynamic character. The new car was styled at ED2, the Toyota design studio in the south of France. This third generation Toyota Avensis promises a mix of superior quality, dynamic handling and refined ride comfort.
Toyota has confirmed that active and passive safety standards are brought to an even higher level thanks to advanced safety features such as Steering-assist Vehicle Stability Control (VSC+), Adaptive Front Light System (AFS) and Pre-Crash Safety System (PCS).
New Toyota Avensis is the third generation of the model to be built at the Burnaston plant in Derbyshire. Due to go on sale in January 2009 it features engines that are both more powerful and emit less CO2, a crucial factor in today's new car market, and it retains the high quality, refinement and equipment levels that are an established Toyota Avensis hallmark. Full details and pricing will be announced later in the year.
Joining new Toyota Avensis will be two other new cars due on sale in early next year: The diminutive Toyota iQ and rugged Toyota Urban Cruiser, both showcased in design concept form at the Geneva motor show earlier this year, appear in Paris in final production trim.
