About the Toyota Avensis T27
The T27-generation Toyota Avensis was designed and built in the United Kingdom, specifically tailored for the European D-segment. The 2013 'Icon' trim was introduced as part of a mid-life range realignment, replacing the previous 'TR' grade with enhanced equipment like the Toyota Touch & Go navigation system and a DAB tuner. Its 2.0-litre D-4D engine (1AD-FTV) was revised in 2012 to improve efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions, making it a staple for high-mileage fleet drivers. While not as dynamic as a Ford Mondeo or Mazda 6, the Avensis is highly regarded for its exceptional refinement, build quality, and long-distance comfort.
