The variety of powertrains in the popular Toyota Avensis raises many questions. What is the service life of the engine, is it possible to do major repairs, how to avoid premature wear. It's difficult to figure it out. Under the hood of the famous Japanese model you can find engines with a volume of 1.6 to 2.0 liters. There is a series of diesel engines. There are modifications specific to a certain year of manufacture.
Let's take a step-by-step look at the features of the Avensis configuration.

From Earth to Sun
You will not find a translation of the word Avensis in any dictionary. This is a specially created combination of letters that does not mean anything, but is only the name of this car.
In 1997, when this model was just born, the following phrase was heard in one reputable newspaper: “Compared with the easy-to-pronounce name Karina, the name “Evensis” seems somewhat strange...”.
Indeed, this word means absolutely nothing, but the designations of the trim levels are very eloquent: the more affordable Linea Terra (Earth Line) and the more expensive Linea Sol (Sun Line), as indicated by the nameplates on the rear panel of the body.

Toyota Avensis
The Toyota Carina, the predecessor to the Toyota Avensis, was a phenomenally reliable car. They said that it was easier to sell a Carina than to “torture” it.
After such a successful model, buyers expected something even more outstanding - and in the fall of 1997 they waited for the Avensis. The new model has improved in terms of safety, ride quality, sound insulation and smoothness. Avensis was produced only in England.

Features of ZZ series engines
In the ZZ series of power plants, the manufacturer switched to the production of disposable units. There may have been a positive economic impact. However, consumers noted a sharp decrease in the attractiveness of this series compared to the successful line of engines with class A:
- Impossibility of major repairs of the installation;
- High oil consumption;
- Low service life, often 200,000 km for engines manufactured before 2005;
- Floating speed even with excellent quality fuel;
- Increased vibrations and knocking.
The ZZ series is not suitable for tuning.
The cylinder block was made of aluminum. This led to the fact that at the slightest overheating the geometry changed and it was necessary to change the entire cylinder block.
After 2005, the service life of power units of this series increased to 400,000 km. But subject to very careful use.
Unit 3ZZ-FE
- Engine capacity, l. - 1.6.
- Power, hp - 109.
- Fuel used, gasoline - 95.
- Consumption, l/100 km, highway – mixed. — city — 5.9 — 7.0 — 9.0.
- Number of cylinders - 4.
- Power system - Injector.
3ZZ-FE was developed to replace the popular 4A. The engine turned out to be unsuccessful. No modifications were created based on it. The power plant has been produced since 2000. After 7 years, it was replaced by disposable 1ZR engines.
The power unit is not exempt from the shortcomings characteristic of the entire series. It is worth noting that in 2005 it was possible to solve the problem of oil consumption and increase the service life to 400,000 km. As a plus, we can note the high reliability of the power unit with careful operation within the entire resource. Replacing the timing belt with a timing chain drive allowed the manufacturer to double the service life of the power plant before scheduled maintenance, compared to the 4A engine.
Engine Toyota 1ZZ
- Engine capacity, l. - 1.8.
- Power, hp - 109.
- Fuel used, gasoline - 92.
- Consumption, l/100 km, highway – mixed. — city — 5.9 — 7.0 — 9.0.
- Number of cylinders - 4.
- Power system - Injector.
The 1ZZ motor became the first and most widespread of the entire series. Execution options:
- 1ZZ-FE - main mod, manufactured at Toyota Motor Manufacturing West Virginia. Power up to 140 hp The modification was produced from 1998 to 2007;
- 1ZZ-FED - a copy of 1ZZ-FE, produced at Shimoyama Plant. Lighter forged connecting rods were installed on the engine. Unit power 140 hp;
- 1ZZ-FBE - 1ZZ-FE engine specifically for Brazil. The mod allows you to use biofuel.
The high oil consumption characteristic of the entire series can be reduced. To do this, you need to replace the rings with new ones manufactured later than 2005. The engine has decent low-end torque, which is a plus for travelers on wide, spacious roads.
Engine Toyota 1AZ
- Engine capacity, l. - 2.0.
- Power, hp - 150.
- Fuel used, gasoline - 95.
- Consumption, l/100 km, highway – mixed. — city — 7.3 – 9.8 – 11.4.
- Number of cylinders - 4.
- Power system - Injector.
The AZ engine series has been produced from 2000 to the present. Aluminum cylinder block. The basic powerplant 1AZ-FE/FSE is designed to replace the 3S-FE/FSE. There are few modifications so far:
- 1AZ-FE - Main engine, depending on permissible environmental standards, power 145 and 150 hp;
- 1AZ-FSE (D4) - direct injection engine. Compression ratio increased to 11. Power up to 155 hp.
The engine cannot be overhauled. The resource is above average. With normal care, exceeds 300,000 km. mileage All versions on which the FSE (D4) system is installed require high-quality fuel.
Common tuning involves installing a ready-made supercharging kit and minor modifications to the unit itself. The power of the power plant increases to 200 hp.
Engine Toyota 2AZ
- Engine capacity, l. - 2.4.
- Power, hp - 170.
- Fuel used, gasoline - 95.
- Consumption, l/100 km, highway – mixed. — city — 8.6 – 10.8 – 13.
- Number of cylinders - 4.
- Power system - Injector.
The 2AZ power unit is based on the base model of the series. The cylinders are bored to 88.5 mm in diameter and the piston stroke is increased by 10 mm. The balancer systems have been improved to ensure smooth running.
Modifications:
- 2AZ-FE - 160 hp unit. Since 2008, power has been increased to 166 hp. due to minor design modifications;
- 2AZ-FSE - direct injection unit. Power 163 hp Produced from 2000 to 2009;
- 2AZ-FXE - installation for hybrid vehicles with the Atkinson cycle. Differs in compression ratio - 12.5. Installed power 130 and 150 hp.
These engines roll back more than 300,000 km. As with the entire series, they cannot be repaired.
For tuning there is a kit kit that allows you to increase power to 300 hp. But the engine life is significantly reduced.
Toyota 1ZR engine
- Engine capacity, l. - 1.6.
- Power, hp - 134.
- Fuel used, gasoline - 95.
- Consumption, l/100 km, highway – mixed. — city — 5.8 – 6.9 – 8.9.
- Number of cylinders - 4.
- Power system - Injector.
Power units of the ZR series have been produced since 2007. Replaces unsuccessful engines of the ZZ line. The designers installed a variable phase system on the intake and exhaust shafts (Dual VVT-i). The provided Valvematic system allows you to adaptively change the valve lift. Hydraulic compensators eliminate the need to adjust valves.
The engine is disposable, the block is aluminum. The average resource is 250,000 km. And this is with good care and moderate stress.
There are two modifications, but they were not installed on Toyota Avensis.
In general, owner reviews are positive. The engine turned out to be reliable, as long as the fuel and oils are of high quality.
Toyota 2ZR engine
- Engine capacity, l. - 1.8.
- Power, hp - 147.
- Fuel used, gasoline - 95.
- Consumption, l/100 km, highway – mixed. — city — 5.3 – 6.4 – 8.3.
- Number of cylinders - 4.
- Power system - Injector.
The 2ZR unit has a longer piston stroke than the 1ZR. Other differences compensate for the increased crankshaft stroke.
There are two modifications installed on Avensis (three in total):
- 2ZR-FE is the main unit. Power 134 hp;
- 2ZR-FAE - block with Valvematic system. Power increased to 150 hp.
The engine rolls on average 250,000 km. With good care, the unit is problem-free.
A kit tuning kit allows you to increase power to 300 hp. In this case, the engine resource drops sharply.
Toyota 3ZR engine
- Engine capacity, l. - 2.0.
- Power, hp - 158.
- Fuel used, gasoline - 95.
- Consumption, l/100 km, highway – mixed. - city - 6.4 - 8 - 10.
- Number of cylinders - 4.
- Power system - Injector.
3ZR is the most powerful power unit of the series in question. Produced since 2007. There are three modifications, two are installed on Avensis:
- 3ZR-FE is a dual VVTi engine. Power 143 hp;
- 3ZR-FAE - with Valvematic. Power increased to 158 hp.
The motor in question does not have any new disadvantages or advantages compared to less powerful units of the ZR series. With normal care, the resource exceeds 250,000 km. The block cannot be repaired.
We looked at gasoline engines and their modifications. Let's now turn our attention to diesel power units.
