Find A Car Review:

For The Avensis is effortless to drive and the interior is comfy and easy to use. Most models are well equipped and benefit from comparatively low ownership costs

Against The Avensis looks bland, inside and out. It’s not as much fun to drive as a Mondeo and the pricier models aren’t significantly better than the cheap ones

The Avensis isn’t a car that you’ll ever lust after, but it’s hard to fault in any area and is incredibly easy to live with. Choose the right model and it’s a great all-rounder

Avensis Our pick

Toyota Avensis Tourer 2.0 D-4D 130 TR 5dr

This is our favourite model in the Avensis Tourer range. It’s well equipped, cheap to own and hard to fault in any area. If only it were a little more stylish.

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.
