The second generation of the Toyota Avensis was launched in 2003 and it was a big improvement over the previous generation, offering more safety and more interior room.
While the first generation of the Avensis was more of an enlarged Corolla, the second generation came with a completely new package. Even though the smallest engine was more suitable for a compact-sized vehicle, the rest of the engine lineup was fit for the mid-size vehicle. It was available in three body-shapes: a three-box sedan, a two-and-a-half box hatchback, and a station-wagon.
The second generation of Toyota was styled in France but it didn't impress too much the European customers. The big headlights and the tall front fascia, even if it was curved over the hood it didn't catch up too much. Its proportions were well but more bland than bold.
Inside, the exterior design was continued with a simple layout of the dashboard. It featured above-average quality materials and the fit and finish were at a higher level. The enlarged wheelbase over its predecessor allowed more room in the back for the passengers.
Under the hood, the Avensis was available with a wide choice of engines ranging from a 1.6-liter gasoline unit up to 2.4-liter gasoline. For the diesel versions, the Avensis was available with the D-4D family engine offered in a few power options. The standard transmission was a 5-speed manual, and a sequential automatic transmission was available as an option.
