Overview

The first generation Toyota Avensis (T220) was introduced in late 1997 as a successor to the European Carina E. Built at Toyota's Burnaston factory in Derby, UK, it offered three body styles: saloon, liftback, and estate. The car shared its platform with other models like the Allion and Premio but was not sold in North America. It featured four engine options including petrol variants of 1.6L, 1.8L, and 2.0L capacities along with a 2.0L turbo-diesel option. Known for solid build quality, reliability, spacious interiors, and smooth ride, the Avensis received a facelift in August 2000 which included variable valve timing and satellite navigation as standard features.
