The TOYOTA AVENSIS (2011-15) 4DR SALOON 2.2 D-CAT DPF 150 EU5 EXCEL AUTO6 is a four-door family saloon in the UK’s mainstream middle class, competing with the Ford Mondeo, Volkswagen Passat and Vauxhall Insignia. It suits buyers wanting a comfortable, practical alternative to an SUV, with a traditional boot and room for family or work travel. Excel trim gives the Avensis a generously equipped, polished feel, while the automatic gearbox and strong 2.2-litre diesel make it appealing for longer commutes and motorway journeys. It is best for families, regular commuters or company-car-style users who value comfort, space and Toyota’s reputation for dependable ownership over sporty handling or the latest cabin technology.
