Toyota Avensis

The Toyota Avensis is a mid size to large family car that Toyota built at Burnaston in Derbyshire, in the United Kingdom, from October 1997 to August 2018. It replaced the European Carina E and was offered as a four door saloon, a five door liftback and an estate, though the third generation dropped the liftback. The name comes from the French avancer, to advance. It was not sold in North America, it shared a platform with the Allion and Premio in Japan, and an MPV called the Avensis Verso was a separate vehicle. It was discontinued in the United Kingdom in August 2018 and across Europe later that year.
