Toyota Avensis Tourer 2.2 D-CAT 150 TR Nav Auto 5dr

For TR trim comes with plenty of kit, including premium sat-nav, at a price. The automatic gearbox changes smoothly, or offers racetrack thrills if you use the steering wheel-mounted paddles.

Against This engine has more poke than the 2.0-litre diesel unit, but it’s not enough to justify the higher price and increased running costs. The auto gearbox significantly increases emissions and fuel consumption.

What Car? says

4 out of 5 stars

Unless you crave the extra few horsepower, we’d choose the cheaper, more frugal 2.0-litre version. The high price premium for the sat-nav also makes it difficult to recommend.

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.
