The Toyota Avensis is a large family car built in Derbyshire, United Kingdom by Japanese automaker Toyota since 1998. It is the direct successor to the Carina E and is available as a four-door saloon, five-door liftback and estate. A large MPV called the Toyota Avensis Verso (Toyota Ipsum in Japan and previously the Toyota Picnic in other markets) is built in Japan on a separate platform. The Avensis is the basis for the youth-oriented Scion tC, which is produced for the US market.
The Toyota Avensis was introduced in 1997, to create a more modern name when compared with the reliable, but dull Toyota Carina E/Toyota Corona. Like its predecessor the Avensis was reliable, and proved a sales success for Toyota Europe. Over the years, the Toyota Avensis has advanced in size, technology, power, and economy to challenge its rivals, like the Mazda6, Ford Mondeo, VW Passat[1], Opel/Vauxhall Insignia, Citroen C5 and Peugeot
