The facelift in 2012 seems to have worked for Toyota's Avensis. Tragically dull, but not without merit

Good stuff

Well built, well equipped, reasonably fuel-efficient and reliable

Bad stuff

Tragically dull, poor automatic gearbox, feels old next to newer, more able rivals

Overview

What is it?

Yes, you can still buy a brand new Toyota Avensis. We know, us neither. In true Toyota fashion, it's about as much fun as a 50-plus swingers party. That said, the Avensis is not without merit.

Our choice from the range

What's the verdict?

Better than before with faint Lexus stylings on the exterior but still not very interesting. At all. There are better options.
