In addition, our test vehicle was equipped with the Touch & Go navigation system and metallic paint. With this equipment, will present the Avensis Combi extremely luxurious executive saloon, which offers plenty of space and a nice ambience.

The materials used seem very high, and the combination of black and aluminum finish make the interior look quite sporty. The operation of all functions is simple and intuitive, except for that of the electronic parking brake, the right hidden behind the steering wheel is positioned right next to the steering column.

We have also liked the very comfortable seats that offer plenty of comfort even on long journeys. Is no reason to complain when it also space. The Avensis wagon offers ample space for all passengers, even in the second row can easily cope with tall people long distances.

The boot capacity is 543 liters of storage space very generously sized and can be expanded to 1609 liters by folding down the rear seats. Very useful are also the subjects in the trunk, which can accommodate small items and tools well.

In the engine we have chosen with the 2.2 liter diesel with 150 hp (110 kW) is exactly the golden mean, it only amounts to between the entry-level diesel engine with 125 horsepower and a top-diesel with 177 hp. Be a very smooth-running engine reaches peak torque of 400 Nm between 2,000 and 2.800 U / min, which is already down and out a lot of power available.

The 6-speed manual transmission can be always on a short way off, and exactly like butter, so that even die-hard auto enthusiasts have their joy. The surprising thing is a bit long but the translation, the one of diesel vehicles is not as usual.

The advantage is that even scolded lazy people can be efficiently drive and the 6 Response, especially at highway speeds or low speeds, making it the interior always remains silent.

The smooth and precise steering can be as convincing as the good road tuned suspension and comfortable. Despite all the comfort, the Avensis offers the combination as a touring sedan, it can be very well controlled driving dynamics.

The clarity is for a car with a length of 478 cm is very good. It would give the Avensis neither visually nor trust in handling this size, the space proves that there is a full-fledged family station wagon. The Toyota Avensis Combi is clear, therefore also technically very versatile and makes the city as good a figure as in leisure travel.

Appropriately, the consumption of strong diesel motor. Bargain hunters will probably even come close to the work specified by the consumption of 5.5 liters. Who wants to move his Avensis with some driving fun, but should be expected as our test with about 6.7 liters per 100 kilometers - a figure that is for a car of this size and performance class perfectly acceptable.

The Toyota Avensis is a thoroughly pleasant car that has plenty of room, good facilities and an engine that provides plenty of driving fun.
