Toyota Avensis Tourer (09 on) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 20 January 2009 Last Updated: 21 February 2011 The Tourer is expected to be the more popular model in the line-up of the third-generation Avensis. There's no hatchback so anyone needing the versatility of a rear hatch will need to opt for the estate. It has all the appearance of a top quality product both inside and out, and ticks all the right boxes for anyone who chooses their cars rationally over emotionally. There's little here for people who enjoy driving their cars on twisty roads, but the Avensis Tourer is supremely comfortable, spacious and refined - which is more than enough to make it an appealing estate car. Toyota's superb reputation for reliability and customer service make it even more convincing when compared to the alternatives. 4 out of 5 Other Toyota reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £19,730 - £29,205 View all new prices Used price range: £7,967 - £20,982 View all used prices See 24 new models for sale from £16,503 Get a Toyota Avensis Tourer (09 on) information pack Next steps Toyota Avensis Tourer cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
