2015 Toyota Avenisis facelift revealed – debuts at Geneva 2015

The Toyota Avensis is being given a facelift and makeover for 2015, with not just cosmetic tweaks but new engines too. Debuts Geneva 2015.

The Toyota Avensis – Toyota’s Ford Mondeo competitor – is a bit of a beige car; competent, well-built and reliable, but not exactly a stand-out in its sector.

Toyota last gave the Avensis a facelift for the 2012 model year, but they’re having another go to see if they can inject a bit more appeal to a car that should do better.

Cosmetic updates look to be more pronounced side sills, new front end – complete with new bumper – that makes the Avensis look more like other cars in the Toyota range, new headlights with integrated running lights and probably a similar treatment at the back with updates to both the bumper and lights.

Inside we’re promised innovations in comfort and safety, so we assume Toyota will update the interior to make it look more upmarket, and they are introducing the new Toyota Safety Sense collision avoidance system to the new Avensis.

Toyota also say the 2015 Avenis will come with a new range of engines to improve performance and economy, and we’re expecting some, or all, of these to be sourced from BMW.

The 2015 Toyota Avensis will debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March and arrive in the UK in summer 2015.
