For T Spirit is the most lavish trim you can buy for the Avensis, and it comes with leather upholstery, cruise control, alloy wheels and a dual-zone climate control. The automatic gearbox shifts smoothly.
Against The combination of this trim and this engine makes for a package that’s just too dear to recommend. With an automatic gearbox, the 2.2-litre engine has higher fuel consumption and emissions than the manual car.
What Car? says
This engine isn’t much quicker in everyday driving than the 2.0-litre diesel, which is more frugal and cheaper to buy. We’d also choose a lower trim level, because this one is too expensive.

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.
