Cars : Toyota Avensis

Toyota’s mid-size Camry sedan is nearly as American as apple pie, baseball, or whatever thing makes you feel warm, fuzzy, and patriotic inside, and its huge sales numbers prove it has what Americans want. But filling those needs also means it’s far too big to roam tight, winding European streets, so Toyota fills this slot in its Continental lineup with the more right-sized Avensis. And now there is a new version.

Now entering its fourth generation, the Avensis makes its big debut at the 2015 Geneva auto show, where it is being shown in four-door sedan and wagon forms. Toyota has thankfully vanquished the previous Avensis generation’s dowdy, cheap-looking styling in favor of a far sleeker look that’s not that different from that of our new Camry. There also are echoes of the X-shaped, criss-crossing face lines that burst into Toyota’s styling repertoire with the current-generation European-market Aygo last year.

Beneath the skin, Toyota promises all-new engines that are both powerful and efficient—as if a company would tout engines that are dogged and fuel-thirsty—as well as expanded safety and comfort features. We’ll find out more when Toyota releases full information in a few weeks’ time.
