Toyota Avensis Tourer (09 on) - Review

Review by Simon Harris on
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.
