Toyota Avensis 2019 Release date and Specs

Car Trend reviews the Toyota Avensis 2019 where consumers can find detailed information on specs, fuel economy, transmission and safety. Additional new features for the Toyota Avensis 2019 include a heated steering wheel, and optional heated and power operated front seats on lower-trim models with cloth upholstery. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional. In addition to the gas-only model, the Toyota Avensis 2019 is also available as a hybrid with all-wheel drive as standard.

In a 2017 comparison test that included the car, the Toyota Avensis 2019 placed fifth. Handling also proved to be another Toyota Avensis 2019 weak spot and we found the steering to be numb.

The Toyota Avensis 2019, on the other hand, is a better package, as we noted in a 2017 First Test, thanks to its smooth powertrain and well-calibrated brakes that smoothly transition between regenerative and mechanical braking. However, since it isn’t a plug-in hybrid, the Toyota Avensis 2019 doesn’t have much EV mode range and can only travel around 0.5 miles on electricity. A rear view camera with rear parking sensors is now standard on all models.

The car is the only Toyota Avensis 2019 trim level that can be had with a cool two-tone exterior color scheme. The ride itself was smooth, and road imperfections were barely felt.
