Product Overview

Toyota Avensis 3 (code T270) facelift is an affordable mid-size sedan in production from 2012 to 2015, whereupon it received a second facelift. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.6 to 2.2 liters.
Compared to the pre-facelift model, the drivetrain is untouched. The only differences can be found in the front and rear design: Still, these changes are significant, so much so that one may not identify the vehicle as the exact same one as before, at least from the front and rear.
All the issues that came with the T270 Avensis, therefore, remained: The suspension setup is budget-oriented, petrol engines used CVT, and there is no intent on making the vehicle any fun to drive.
