The TOYOTA AVENSIS (1997-03) 5DR LIFTBACK 2.0 D4-D SR is a roomy, five-door family car, combining the useful shape of a hatchback with the comfort and space expected of a mid-sized saloon. In the UK, it is a practical alternative to rivals such as the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra. With a diesel engine and liftback rear, it suits longer commutes, family errands and drivers wanting luggage access without choosing an estate. It is best for budget-minded households or high-mileage users; the SR trim adds a sportier flavour, while the Avensis is valued for comfortable transport rather than styling. mycarcheck.com has recorded two checks for this exact version, covering one VIN, so the figures are a small snapshot, not a market-wide guide.
