Toyota Avensis 2015 - is it better business car from Audi A4, BMW Series 3 and Mercedes C class?
This time Toyota goes on safe on big discrete changes! The new Toyota Avensis is 40 mm longer than its predecessor, body lines offer a softer edges and transitions, while the lights are modernized and with attractive design.
In the field of interior design, we detect new solution for the dashboard. The idea was that it be divided into two zones, upper and lower. In the upper zone is speed meter and rpm meter and between them is the 4.2 inch TFT multi-information display. The lower part defines the center console separated from the transmission tunnel and the touch screen of 8 inches.
With a mission to position their cars on top with corresponding segments, engineers from Toyota have worked to achieve NVH (in translation - noise, vibration and harshness).
For example, the new Avensis diesel editions, the entire surface of the lower part of the body spreads a kind of soundproof (dumping sheet) for noise reduction. Even for the air conditioning there is special soundproof new solution heater.

In the field of diesel engines we encounter two new features: a 1.6-liter D4-D, originally observed in the model Verso, Auris and then, won the right to find into the Avensis. This Euro 6 engine, developed by BMW develops 112 hp and 270 Nm. 20 kg lighter and therefore more fuel efficient, has the task to replace outgoing two-liter D4D engine.
The new two-liter D4D is something really special. If on the economy and CO2 emissions on a par with the 1.6 liter engine, it is simply there for the drivers in the center of its interests, putting performance. 143 hp and 320 Nm of torque will be enough for Avensis to go 100 km / h for 9.5 seconds.
Driving in the new Toyota Avensis is very relaxed and comfortable. You only need to follow the navigation, and adequately adjust the cruise control and you arrive at your destination without stress on time, accurate as a Swiss watch.
Specifically, engineers in Toyota found a new way to make the electronic power steering support - that's a bit of pure driving experience. This is no small contribute to a new supplier of shock absorbers, which made it possible to emphasize the feeling of agility and sharpen handling. "This is a typical requirement of European customers", says in an interview *Kristof Muylle, "the Japanese driver absolutely insists conservative management understanding of vehicle stability, especially the last part."
Despite sedan genetics, driving dynamics are not neglected including good traction in cornering and solid, if not perfect steering precision.
All in all, globally nothing new! Avensis remains one of the leaders of the class.
