Ground clearance of Toyota Avensis, ground clearance of Toyota Avensis of different years of production

Salon Toyota Avensis 2018-2019

The interior of the car has also changed; it has become much better and more modern.
Front passengers will enjoy premium leather-trimmed seats. These seats are electrically adjustable in 8 directions and heated. The back row is also covered in leather; it is a sofa with attachments for a child seat and a folding armrest with two cup holders. There is not much free space, but there is enough of it both in the front and in the rear. The steering column has leather trim and is thick and quite comfortable. The steering wheel is 4-spoke, it has chrome inserts and has as many as 18 buttons for controlling the audio system and cruise control. There is adjustment both in height and reach.

The model received aggressive analog gauges on the dashboard, which are placed in large wells with chrome trim. In the middle there is an on-board computer that provides a lot of useful information. Two sensors are placed in the wells, a tachometer and oil temperature together, and a speedometer and fuel level sensor together.

The Toyota Avensis dashboard panel in the middle has an unusual beveled shape; in the middle there are narrow air deflectors with a chrome line, between which there is an alarm button. The center console received an 8-inch touch screen multimedia system in its upper part, which is recessed inside. The buttons around them are also slightly recessed inward, and there are also two washers. Below is a separate climate control unit - this is a small monitor, two washers with a chrome trim and a number of buttons.

The tunnel is stylishly made, look at the photo and you will agree with this. Its upper part has control washers for seat heating. Afterwards we see a small selector for a CVT or manual transmission. After that there is a button to turn on the sports mode, and behind it there is one cup holder with a lid.

The model has a good trunk, but it is disappointing due to the lack of various boxes. The volume itself is good, it is equal to 509 liters, the seats cannot be folded, but there is a hatch for skis. By the way, the doors inside are beautifully decorated; they have wooden inserts, leather armrests and a small pocket.

More details

The model has its own line of as many as 5 power units, there is plenty to choose from. Three petrol and two diesel engines are offered. The power of all of them is not that great, but for city driving it is quite enough. Also, these motors should not have problems with reliability, since the design is not particularly complex.

Toyota Avensis petrol units:

1. The weakest gasoline engine is a 16-valve naturally aspirated 1.6-liter engine that produces 132 horsepower and 160 H*m of torque. It accelerates the car to hundreds in 10 seconds, and the maximum speed is 200 km/h. Its consumption is not that high - 8 liters in the city and 5 liters on the highway, you need at least AI-95.
2. The next unit is essentially the same, but its volume has been increased to 1.8 liters, as a result of which the power has increased to 147 horses and the torque to 180 H*m. The dynamics have become better, acceleration has decreased by 1 second, and for some reason the maximum speed has not changed. Fuel consumption also remained unchanged.
3. The latest gasoline engine is a 16-valve naturally aspirated 2-liter unit. It has 152 horsepower and 189 torque. There is more power, but due to a different gearbox the dynamics are worse - 10 seconds to hundreds and 205 km/h maximum speed, maximum speed as you understand better. Consumption remained the same.

Diesel engines:

1. The base diesel has a volume of 1.6 liters, it is 16-valve and at the same time turbocharged. It has 112 horsepower and 270 H*m of torque. 11 seconds to a hundred, this is of course rather weak, the maximum speed is 180 km/h. This unit pleases with its low consumption of only 5 liters of diesel fuel in the city and 3.5 on the highway.
2. The latest diesel also has a turbine; in general, diesel engines are rarely not turbocharged. Its volume is equal to 2 liters and it produces 143 horses, which are achieved at 4 thousand revolutions. The torque is as much as 320 H*m. 9.5 seconds to hundreds and 200 km/h top speed is not bad. The consumption will be approximately half a liter more than the previous unit.

The suspension of the Toyota Avensis 2018-2019 (T27) remains the same; the model has an independent front design, which is mounted on MacPherson struts. At the rear there is a beam mounted on double wishbones. There are anti-roll bars, the shock absorbers have been replaced with softer ones. An electric booster helps drive the car.

A 6-speed manual transmission is offered as a pair for the units, and some units are paired with a CVT CVT gearbox. All versions of the units have only front-wheel drive. The car will stop using disc brakes, the front ones are ventilated. The front brake disc diameter is 320 mm, and the rear is 290 mm.

The Japanese manufacturer has once again managed to make an excellent city car. It is not worth taking if you are a young guy, as you most likely like speed. The car is suitable for older people or girls. It’s difficult to call it a family car, because the space in the cabin is not that huge. In general, we can say with confidence that this is a good car.

Other characteristics

We have already found out that some car models run on manual transmission, and some – on automatic transmission.

Experts recommend paying attention to vehicles running on automatic transmission.

Manual transmissions often fail, but automatic transmissions, with proper care and timely maintenance, will not bring unpleasant surprises to their owners.

Among the malfunctions of mechanical gearboxes, the following are often encountered: the shaft bearing fails, oil leaks. All this can lead to costly repairs if the problem is not identified in time.

Also, it was already said above about three bodies: liftback, sedan and station wagon. As for wear resistance, the body type does not play any role. They all corrode and rot in the same way.

The weak point of the Avensis 2004 is the roof pillars, the upper frame of the windshield, and the sills. Often, pockets of corrosion can be found on the bottom of the car.

These problems cannot be called critical, but attention should still be paid to such points

The interior... here, what is positive is that even after ten years it will remain in good shape. But, if you find fault and study the interior in detail, you can hear the seats, center console and instrument panel creaking. For reliability, several airbags are installed inside the cabin.

Car owners often complain about unstable operation of the air conditioner in the hot summer, and in winter a malfunctioning stove is also not such a rare problem.

Therefore, before purchasing a car, especially a used one, pay close attention to all the details

And finally, a few words about the suspension. It will operate stably for the entire 150,000 km, without causing any inconvenience to the owner. Comparing this figure with other car brands, it becomes clear that this is very good. But in practice it turns out that the suspension remains in excellent condition even after 200,000 km. Sometimes it is necessary to carry out work to replace bushings, shock absorbers and bearings.

Toyota Avensis 2010-2011 is a car that needs regular alignment adjustment. This is due to the design of the rear suspension.

Exterior and body

Toyota Avensis ground clearance

The design of the Avensis was quite simple, which was typical for any budget car of this period. Until the moment of restyling, the car was created from ordinary metal, which led to the rapid spread of corrosion processes. After the changes were made, the roof was galvanized, which prevented the occurrence of the above problem.

Sedan dimensions:

1. length – 4490 mm;
2. width – 1710 mm;
3. height – 1425 mm;
4. wheelbase – 230 cm;
5. ground clearance – 14 cm.

Station wagon dimensions:

1. length – 4570 mm;
2. width – 1710 mm;
3. height – 1500 mm;

Reviews from Russian owners of Toyota Avensis Coupe cars

Review of Toyota Avensis, 2009 Good health to all! In June 2018, the Rassat B7 with a 1.8 engine on a DSG7, which was owned for only a couple of months and with a mileage of 100,000 km, began to die rapidly.

Gearboxes

Of the two transmissions, manual or automatic, it is better to choose an automatic transmission, since the manual transmission turned out to be very fragile. It all starts with a hum at 100 thousand kilometers, caused by problems with the first and secondary shaft. If you forget about repairs over time, the box may jam at the wrong time. After 150 thousand, the first, third and fifth gears begin to bite, which is briefly solved by replacing the clutch.

Several types of Toyota Avensis T25 automatic transmission rarely cause problems; with proper, easy maintenance, the design will last a long time. Automatic transmissions last more than 300 thousand kilometers, slowly wearing out the gas turbine engine locks. The matter does not reach fractures of the mechanical part.

Among the problems of the machine, one can highlight the rapid wear of the front planetary gear set relative to other elements. The problem appears with a sporty driving style. This happens with a 4-speed automatic. Aggressive style also negatively affects the rear cover, which will pull the clutch pack along with it. If there are malfunctions in the operation of the valve body, this is the first sign of problems with the cover.

“Racers” are better off looking for a 5-speed automatic, although the gas turbine gaskets wear out quickly.

Fractures of CV joints occur in transmissions due to corrosion under the lining. The problem is easily solved by replacing, although only a new part.

Body

Toyota's design has always been simple, as they made relatively budget cars for the people. More than 20 years later, the body's survivability, not its appearance, should be discussed. There are many problems after so many years. Rust gradually affects all sides of the body, the bottoms of the doors and front fenders are the first to suffer, and the sills rot badly.

The pre-styling of the first Avensis had ordinary metal, so the windshield frame rusted, which promises difficulties during replacement. In the restyling, the roof was galvanized, freeing it from rot. Decorative moldings around the car often fall off or break.

Dimensions and types of bodies speak about other dimensions and their own problems. A station wagon, for example, loses its cover when the roof rails are removed.

Car sizes

Sedan:

• length – 4490 mm;
• width – 1710 mm;
• height – 1425 mm;
• wheelbase – 2630 mm;
• ground clearance - 140 mm.

The hatchback essentially differs in the shape of the trunk lid, the dimensions are the same, so it is more logical to classify it as a liftback.

Station wagon:

• length – 4570 mm;
• width – 1710 mm;
• height – 1500 mm;
• wheelbase – 2630 mm;
• ground clearance - 140 mm.

The wheel size is always identical - 185/65/R14.

Total information

2008 marked the start of the production of the third generation of Avensis sedans and station wagons. They made their debut at the Paris Motor Show. Engineers and designers have worked hard to update the design and technical capabilities. Thanks to their well-coordinated work, comfort indicators have significantly increased. The aerodynamics of the car, together with a powerful engine, made it the king of the roads, while safety is at the highest level. According to the results of crash tests, Toyota Avensis scores maximum points.

The domestic market offers a choice of five trim levels. The model, equipped to the maximum, is equipped with a touch display, wireless communication, a modern audio system, cameras that provide all-round visibility, and a parking assistance system. A variety of electronic systems and 9 airbags guarantee one hundred percent reliability.

The third generation family attracts with its original design, good equipment and wide functionality.

Price

Toyota avensis sedan (Toyota Avensis sedan)

There are many cars on the market, when searching, don’t get hung up on a single copy, you can find another perhaps more worthy car. To purchase a model in good condition, you need to have a budget of 500,000 rubles. When compared with its competitors, the car will be a loser in terms of luxury, but a winner in terms of maintainability and maintenance costs.

As a result, the second generation Toyota Avensis really lives up to its reputation for reliability, albeit when choosing the right engine and year of manufacture. There are design flaws, but these are minor things; the only serious disadvantages include the body, which in no way corresponds to the brand’s reputation. So you can take it? Yes, if you are looking for a relatively hassle-free city car.

Weaknesses and disadvantages of Toyota Avensis with mileage

Despite the ordinary exterior of the car, Toyota Avensis is still in demand among car enthusiasts in the secondary market. But when choosing a used car, you need to know about its possible weak points and shortcomings.

As for the paintwork, there is nothing to complain about. The quality of the metal used to make the body is also decent. Of course, if the vehicle was not involved in an accident. The base version of the car had different shades of the bumper and hood, so some people mistakenly think that it was restored. The optics that receive the most complaints are that they often fog up, and reflectors generally begin to peel off after a couple of years of use.

Since we are talking about a 2.2 diesel engine, it is worth saying that the cylinder head gasket life here is short. Models produced before 2007 often suffer from problems with the catalyst - the tubes become clogged. I would like to note that for every 100,000 km you will have to install a new starter, pump and thermostat.

The automatic transmission pleases with its reliability, because it may not cause any inconvenience up to 300,000 km.

Almost everything inside the cabin is excellent. The only thing that bothers me is the creaking of the driver's seat, as well as the rapid wear of the trim.

Differences between 1az-fse and 3s

The main differences relate to design and materials. The AZ cooling jacket is open type, which means that the cylinders are cooled evenly on all sides by antifreeze. All AZ channels are through, and the S series has several blind channels.

The center of the power unit has also undergone changes. On the AZ line, the crankshaft is now offset by approximately 1 cm.

Why is the engine considered disposable?

There are internal combustion engine models with very thin cylinder walls, so repairs by installing liners and boring will not work here.

Timing or Chain

The S line of engines came with chains as a gas distribution mechanism. New models are now equipped with timing belts.

FSE faults

Despite the modifications and improvements of internal combustion engine models, they were not spared from malfunctions. Here are the most common:

1. Frequent fuel injection pump malfunctions. This is especially true for gasoline engines, because this is affected by different properties of the fuel. Gasoline strongly dries out elements and at the same time acts as a degreasing agent. When additives are added, wear occurs even faster;
2. Secondary gases can be re-combusted. But this affects the excessive accumulation of soot on the walls of parts. This can be understood by the way the car jerks, dips, and vibrations can also be felt;
3. It is almost impossible to adjust the valves yourself, so you will have to use a special machine.

Exterior

The radiator grille, tailgate trim, window moldings and roof rails are all chrome elements. The wheel size depends on the configuration: 16 or 17 inches.

Halogen headlights provide good visibility on the road, and daytime running lights are equipped with the ability to change the angle of the vehicle and automatically turn off at a time.

The manufacturer has provided the possibility of installing a lighting sensor. The front and rear of the car are equipped with fog lights. Dimensions and brake lights are made of LED optics.

The windshield is protected from deformation when exposed to high temperatures. It is coated with a special layer that protects against UV radiation. The wipers work in conjunction with the rain sensor. The rear window is equipped with a washer, the side windows are equipped with electric windows. All of them operate on an electric drive.

The mirrors located on the side have an electric drive, position adjustment functions, and heating. The latter can be set in advance in time.

Options

Interior with fabric trim and without monitor

The second generation Toyota Avensis was offered in three trim levels: Sol, Terra, Lux. The basic version included:

• front and rear foglights;
• headlight washer system;
• electrically adjustable exterior mirrors, heated and painted to match the body color;
• heated rear window;
• door handles in body color;
• steering wheel position adjuster;
• halogen lamps in headlights;
• wooden spacer in the interior;
• fabric upholstery;
• electric windows;
• heated front seats;
• electrically adjustable front seats;
• cruise control, ABS, TCS, EBD, ESP;
• on-board computer;
• car radio with the function of listening to cassettes and CDs.

All trim levels included the installation of a full set of airbags. In the maximum configuration of the 2006 Avensis, fabric upholstery was replaced with leather. The BAS system has been added. Halogen headlights have been replaced with xenon ones. A duplicate turn signal was mounted in the side mirrors. An electric trunk drive and rain sensors are installed.

Salon

Everything inside is simple - cheap cladding materials and minimal functionality, but reliable. The seats are covered with fabric, leather rarely appears. There is not enough free space inside, as evidenced by the size of the body.

Rear passengers have access to a folding armrest with a niche for small items and two cup holders. The sofa folds down to increase the trunk space. In general, trunk volume also depends on the body type:

• sedan – 500 liters;
• hatchback – 510 liters;
• station wagon - 530/1600 liters.

In the hands of the driver of the Avensis T220 is a simple 4-spoke steering wheel, behind which is a fully analogue instrument panel with fuel level, tachometer, speedometer and engine temperature sensors. The restyling introduced monitors that display various information.

The center console and air intake areas are surrounded by wooden inserts. In addition to emergency driving keys, the top is equipped with a heater and air conditioning unit on knobs and a ventilation shut-off toggle switch. Below is the standard cassette player. In the restyling, the climate control unit and radio were swapped, installing another disk radio. At the very bottom there is a cigarette lighter and an ashtray.

The Toyota Avensis T22 tunnel is minimally equipped - a handbrake, gear selector, cup molds and a hard armrest. Malfunctions include all sorts of little things - corrosion of the rear window lift cable, abrasions of plastic, fabric, etc.

Specifications

More details

The range of motors is extensive; these are old popular Japanese engines of excellent reliability. In the restyling, the engine was equipped with VVT-i variable valve timing systems, which increased power.

List of internal combustion engines:

• 4AFE – 1.6-liter 16-valve engine with a capacity of 110 horsepower and 145 units of torque;
• 7AFE – 1.8-liter engine also with 110 horses and already 155 H*m of torque;
• 3SFE – 2-liter engine producing 128 horsepower and 178 units of torque;
• 3ZZFE - the same 1.6-liter engine with the same power ratings;
• 1ZZFE – 1.8-liter engine with VVT-i, producing 129 hp. with 170 units of torque;
• 1AZFSE - a 2-liter engine, for which the VVT-i system increased power to 150 horses and 200 H*m of torque;
• 1CD FTV - diesel turbocharged 2-liter internal combustion engine of Avensis, with a capacity of 90 horses and 203 H*m of torque;
• 2CT is a 2-liter turbo diesel engine that already produces 110 horsepower with 250 units of torque.

Such a huge list was offered with an even narrow list of gearboxes - a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed automatic. The suspension used is simple, which promises relative comfort and excellent reliability - around MacPherson struts. Disc brake system with front ventilation and ABS + EBD assistants. ZF rack and pinion steering is complemented by hydraulic booster.

Test drives

Review with passion. Toyota Avensis after modernization The main goal is Europe!? The European road, it should be noted, is a very heterogeneous phenomenon. Traveling around Europe, you can find yourself on an arrow-straight expressway, you can get on a motorway winding between mountains or on a narrow asphalt strip meandering along the coast, under which the sea splashes. And so, having traveled along such roads, suddenly...

Specifications

The manufacturing plant makes it possible to use only front-wheel drive configurations. But there are different engine options: diesel and gasoline. And now in more detail about the characteristics of the 2008 Avensis.

Engine

Gasoline engines have a volume of 1.6 and 1.8 liters. Accordingly, they can generate power of 132 and 147 hp. In this case, the maximum torque is 160 and 180 Nm. The engines operate in conjunction with a manual transmission or a CVT.

The volume of diesel units is slightly larger - 2 and 2.2 liters. Their power is also greater - 124 and 150 hp. Here you already have the opportunity to choose a gearbox - automatic or manual.

The T 250 can be called quite economical. Indeed, thanks to the fuel tank with a volume of 60 liters, the Avensis driver will not be the most frequent guest at the gas station. Environmental indicators comply with EURO 5 standards.

The steering wheel is equipped with an electric power steering, which allows the driver to make sharp turns without any strain on his hands.

Dimensional data

A model with a gasoline engine can weigh a maximum of about 1.9 tons, and a model with a diesel unit can weigh about 2.1 tons. You can use a brakeless trailer if its weight does not exceed 500 kg.

Body dimensions:

1. Length – 4.7 m;
2. Width – 1.8 m;
3. Height – 1.4 m.

The ground clearance of the t250 is 140 mm, so it is better to choose a smoother road. The luggage compartment volume is 509 liters, which allows you to transport the necessary cargo.

Chassis

All Avensis configurations are equipped with an independent suspension consisting of struts and springs. There are MacPherson struts built in at the front and a transverse stabilizer at the rear.

Ground clearance of Toyota Avensis, ground clearance of Toyota Avensis of different years of production

Toyota Avensis ground clearance or ground clearance, as for any other passenger car, is an important factor on our roads. It is the condition of the road surface or its complete absence that makes Russian car enthusiasts interested in the ground clearance of the Toyota Avensis and the possibility of increasing ground clearance using spacers or urethane autobuffers. To begin with, it’s worth honestly saying that the actual ground clearance of a Toyota Avensis may differ significantly from that declared by the manufacturer. The whole secret is in the method of measuring and where to measure ground clearance. Therefore, you can find out the real state of affairs only by arming yourself with a tape measure or ruler. The official ground clearance of Toyota Avensis varies between generations.

• Ground clearance Toyota Avensis 2.0 l. since 2002 – 150 mm
• Ground clearance Toyota Avensis 2.4 l. since 2002 – 140 mm
• Ground clearance of Toyota Avensis since 2006 – 155 mm
• Ground clearance of Toyota Avensis since 2008 – 140 mm
• Ground clearance of Toyota Avensis since 2011 – 140 mm

Models specially adapted for Russia have reinforced suspension. Cars created for Japan have less clearance.

Some manufacturers use a trick and declare the amount of ground clearance in an “empty” car, but in real life we ​​have a trunk full of all kinds of things, passengers and a driver. That is, in a loaded car the ground clearance will be completely different. Another factor that few people take into account is the age of the car and the wear and tear of the springs—their “sagging” due to age. The issue can be resolved by installing new springs or purchasing spacers for sagging Toyota Avensis springs. Spacers allow you to compensate for spring subsidence and add a couple of centimeters of ground clearance. Sometimes even an inch of curb parking makes a difference.

But you shouldn’t get carried away with “lifting” the ground clearance of the Toyota Avensis, because spacers to increase ground clearance are focused only on springs

If you do not pay attention to the shock absorbers, the travel of which is often very limited, then independently upgrading the suspension can lead to loss of controllability and damage to the shock absorbers. From the point of view of cross-country ability, high ground clearance in our harsh conditions is good, however, at high speeds on the highway and in corners, serious sway and additional body roll appear

Detailed video of installing urethane autobuffers to increase ground clearance on a Toyota Avensis.

Any car manufacturer, when designing the suspension and choosing the ground clearance, looks for a middle ground between handling and cross-country ability. Perhaps the simplest, safest and most unpretentious way to increase clearance is to install wheels with “high” tires. Changing wheels makes it easy to increase the ground clearance by another centimeter. Do not forget that a serious change in ground clearance can lead to damage to Toyota Avensis CV joints. After all, the “grenades” will have to work from a slightly different angle. But this only applies to the front axle.

Minuses

Despite the positive characteristics of the second generation Avensis, it was not without its drawbacks. Among them are:

1. Fogging of the headlights is observed, which negatively affects their illuminating ability. Moreover, after three years of using the car, the reflector mirror often falls off;
