For This version of the Avensis Tourer gives you desirable kit such as electric front seats and leather upholstery , but the clean, frugal diesel engine guarantees low running costs.

Against The engine isn’t as punchy as some rivals’ that cost much the same. The price is rather high and the styling is bland, inside and out.

What Car? says

4 out of 5 stars

This Avensis Tourer is loaded with kit and cheap to run, but we’d question whether it’s worth paying extra over the TR version, which still has plenty of equipment.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

The Toyota Avensis isn’t likely to be your idea of a dream car, but most versions are a great real-world proposition. Choose the right model and you’ll have a car that’s practical, easy to live with, comfortable and cheap to own. The entry-level engines emit less CO2 and drink less fuel than most rivals, whether you go for the 1.8 petrol or the 2.0-litre diesel. Neither provide especially strong pace, but the next steps up the ladder – the 2.0-litre petrol and 148bhp 2.2-litre diesel - aren’t a lot quicker and cost more to run. The priciest models have a 175bhp 2.2-litre diesel engine that has plenty of muscle. Entry-level T2 trim supplies the basics, but it’s not hard to see why most buyers will go for TR. It supplies everything you’re likely to need, so unless you simply must have leather trim and electric seats we’d recommend it over pricier T4 and T Spirit trim.
