Toyota Avensis test drive since 2009 sedan

Unapproosted virtues

Not only are the prices and quotas on the Toyota Avensis of the third generation were not announced on the journalistic test drive that happened in mid-December last year in Milan, they were never declared either a vague time of our release (so far they can buy something. ) countries from New Year's Anabiosis, nor to the tough deadline for the delivery of this material to print. But the start of sales of a machine in the Russian market is assigned to the end of March - it would be time for potential customers to ask and decide. The crisis that you want. He confuses cards, gives rise to uncertainty and makes him be careful, pull with financial decisions to the last. However, it is understandable. How else does life and a bivalve basket turn out there.
Well, at least with the materiel, everything is definitely enough, and thanks for that. Here is the new Toyota Avensis, here are its two body versions - a sedan and a station wagon. Both will be in Russia. The hatchback will now not be due to its exclusion from the body gamut - the hatch in class D, as Toyota experience shows, does not roll in Europe (which is funny, the experience of competitors shows the opposite - for example, the Ford Hetch has in class D), and Avensis has an Avensis - This is Europe. Both by origin (Made in UK), and in the place of pre -emptive resettlement.
And there will be no diesel Avensis. Actually, diesel engines are not just available-they make up exactly half of the Avensis motor gamut, but the Japanese company does not very much complain to the Russian diesel fuel. Has the right to.
Gasoline engines - three of them - very advanced. Their main feature is the latest Valvematic system (further development of VVT-I technology), which not only controls the phases of gas distribution, but also changes the height of valves. Which has a beneficial effect on power, and fuel consumption, and toxins. By the way, in the smallest of gasoline engines with a 1.6-liter volume, 132 power horses are removed without any boost (plus 20% compared to the usual VVT-I)-go badly. For those who are not enough, there are more motors - 1.8 and 2.0 liters, issuing 147 and 152 liters, respectively. with.
For new gasoline Avensis, an automatic machine is not provided in the classical sense. All motors are combined with six-speed mechanics, and for the 1.8- and 2.0-liter as an alternative, a stranded Multidrive S variator is offered with a sports regime and with the possibility of translation in a seven-speed manual regime (on 2.0-liter, this can be done with steering wheel switches ). The transmission is smooth and almost silent, which adds sled comfort.
With a change of generations, the model grew up in length and width - there and there on a matchbox (5 cm); In addition, her ruts expanded (the wheelbase and height remained the same). This, as well as the displacement of the front racks 11 cm forward, and the rear - 5 cm ago significantly added residential room in the cabin. The cargo space is organized a little differently than that of the predecessor- if earlier the sedan and the station wagon had 520 liters of luggage volume, now now 509 and 543 liters, respectively (the station wagon with folded rear seats now 1609 l against the previous 1500.)
As expected, Avensis equipment will be fixed; The model will go to us in six trim levels: comfort, comfort plus, eleganes, eleganes plus, prestige and luxury.
