As Toyota today opened the order books for the new Avensis, the company announced that prices will start from £17,765. Offered as in saloon and ‘Touring Sports’ estate guise, the new model will be in showrooms at the end of June.

That price tag should leave leasing prices roughly unchanged, with business deals starting from around £135 a month and personal deals coming in at about £200 a month.

Lurking in the engine bay is an all-new engine range including two new D-4D diesels. The 110bhp 1.6-litre unit is the most economical, returning 68.9mpg and CO2 emissions of 108g/km, putting it in the £20-a-year road tax band and the 19% BIK company car tax bracket.

The 141bhp 2.0-litre is a touch less economical, managing 62.8mpg and emitting 119g of CO2 per kilometre to put road tax at £30 a year and BIK tax at 21%. It is faster though, sprinting to 62mph in 9.5 seconds and carrying on to 124mph.

For those wanting petrol power, the choice is limited to a 145bhp 1.8-litre engine capable of 47.4mpg and emitting CO2 at a rate of 138g/km.

All three engines come with a six-speed manual as standard, but the 1.8-litre petrol is offered with an optional CVT (constant variable transmission) automatic gearbox.

For the £17,765 entry price, you get the entry-level Active model, complete with cruise control, air conditioning, LED daylight running lights, Bluetooth and the Pre-Collision Safety system, which brakes for the driver if it detects an imminent crash.

Upgrading to the £20,995 Business Edition provides the Toyota Touch 2 touchscreen infotainment system, satellite navigation, digital radio, a reversing camera, automatic lights and wipers, 17in alloy wheels and part-Alcantara upholstery. In addition to the Pre-Collision Safety system on the Active, the Business Edition also serves up Lane Departure Warning, traffic sign recognition and an Automatic High Beam function for the headlights.

Business Edition Plus, meanwhile, adds leather upholstery, cornering fog lights, LED headlights, keyless entry and privacy glass for a further £1,800.

At the top of the range is the Excel, which gets a more advanced satellite navigation system, electrically adjustable and heated front seats, a 10-speaker audio system and, in Touring Sports models (£1,180 more than the equivalent saloon), a panoramic roof.
