TOYOTA AVENSIS (2003 - TO DATE)丰田avensis(2003年至今)
Few cars have transmogrified in quite such a dramatic fashion as the Toyota Avensis.海神之车数有这样一个戏剧性的丰田avensis时尚. Once a rather lightweight and compact medium sized Mondeo challenger, the 2003 edition saw the Avensis undergoing a fundamental reappraisal of its place in the overall scheme of things.轻量级一度相当紧凑,中型蒙迪欧挑战者2003年版avensis发生根本性重新取而代之的整体计划. No longer was the car content to do battle with off the pace rivals like the Rover 45 and the Mazda 626.轿车不再是内容不一样了序幕步伐孚45和对手的马自达626. Now it was taking aim at the best cars in the class ?现在最好是瞄准轿车的阶级? models like the Ford Mondeo and the Honda Accord.型号喜欢的本田雅阁、福特蒙迪欧. With saloon, hatchback and Tourer models to choose from and an impeccable record for reliability, the 2003-onwards version of Toyota?s Avensis is as close to a risk-free used bet as it?s possible to get.同球馆,hatchback,tourer型号选择和无庸置疑的可靠性,2003年-起版丰田?接近收盘avensis是一个无风险,因为它用来打赌?收盘可能得到.
HISTORY历史
Toyota were faced with a dilemma when developing the 2003 Avensis.丰田面临两难当2003avensis发展. The market for mainstream medium range family saloons and hatches was shrinking fast with customers increasingly likely to downsize to a smaller hatch or try to preserve their investment by plumping for something with a prestige badge.市场主流中程家庭房车和舱口与客户日益萎缩快速减肥可能还是一个小舱口,设法保留一些投资供水与珍贵徽章. Should the company make the Avensis a cheap and cheerful car that followed its predecessor?s lightweight, low complexity approach or else make a serious commitment to moving upmarket with all the costs that entailed?公司应当作出avensis廉价轿车,其次942和开朗.收盘轻、低复杂态度郑重作出承诺,否则与高档,包含所有费用? Toyota took the gamble and pitched the Avensis at the quality end of the medium range market, covering their bets with a broad range that included a hatch, a saloon and a Tourer estate with a range of decent 1.8 and 2.0-litre petrol engines.丰田代为赌博、定质量的avensis在年底中期市场其涵盖范围广泛,包括投注舱门,一辆房地产、tourer一系列象样182.0公升汽油引擎.
In November 2003, Toyota expanded the range with a clean D-CAT diesel engined version that used a revolutionary catalyst system to lower emissions still further.2003年11月丰田扩大清洁范围以四-猫柴油引擎版本,用于降低废气革命催化剂体系进一步健全. This initially sold alongside the less high-tech D4-D diesel engine that had been introduced to the range a few months earlier.起初这一起卖少高技术的D4-四型柴油机已推出了一系列数月前. A flagship 2.4-litre petrol model also joined the range at the end of 2003 and in early 2005 we saw a 148bhp 2.2-litre D4-D diesel introduced.一旗舰2.4公升汽油模型也加入射程在2003年底和2005年初,我们看到一148bhp2.2公升的D4-丁柴油.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
Designed in France, the latest car is firmly Eurocentric, being marketed solely on this continent.法国设计,是最新的车坚决欧洲,这纯粹是行销大陆. It?s bigger, bolder and far better looking than the Mark 1 Avensis and has gone about deconstructing the medium saloon genre with a vengeance.?收盘越大,胆子要好得多,比一月avensis马克左右,已经解构与中型房体裁复仇.
Three bodystyles are available priced from £14,000 ?三bodystyles复本14000英镑的价格从? saloon, liftback and Tourer ?球馆、liftback和tourer? while three petrol engines are initially on offer.而汽油引擎最初三个投标. Customers can choose either a 129bhp 1.8-litre VVT-i engine, a 147bhp 2.0-litre direct injection VVT-i powerplant or a 2.4-litre version of similar direct injection configuration.客户可选择一129bhp1.8公升可变气门定时我发动机一147bhp2.0公升直接喷射可变气门定时我电厂或2.4公升版本类似直喷配置. The VVT-i set-up is Toyota?s variable valve timing system which offers decent torque and fuel economy at low revs and a hefty slug of power at full throttle.<可变气门定时我设置是丰田?收盘可变气门系统,能提供像样摩擦扭矩、燃油经济性和低功率大幅塞尽油门. You can also try to find an example with the 116bhp 2.0-litre D-4D diesel engine ?你也可以找一个例子,与116bhp2.0公升四-四维柴油机? and many customers probably will ?许多顾客可能会? or go for the advanced 2.0-litre D-CAT (Diesel Clean Advanced Technology) diesel.或者去先进2.0公升四-猫(柴油清洁高级技术)的柴油.
Trim levels depend on your choice between five options: T2, the rather clumsily-named T3-S and T3-X, T4 and T Spirit.修剪程度取决于你选择5个选择:T2期,而步入歧途姓名的T3硫和T3-十、T4和笔精神. All come with air conditioning, an alarm immobiliser, power windows and mirrors, ABS and an excellent quality stereo system.都是带着空调、防盗报警、电镜、窗户、ABS的优良品质和立体声系统. The T3 grades are basically there to differentiate between those who want satellite navigation (T3-S) from those who simply want extra luxury (T3-X).该级别的T3基本上没有区分那些想卫星导航(T3期硫)来自那些只想额外奢侈品(T3号-十). T4 offers both, while the plushest T Spirit level also includes power seats with leather trim.甲状腺素开办,而靓笔力还包括精神层面的席位皮革修剪.
Safety has been prioritised with all models getting no fewer than nine airbags as standard, including a driver knee airbag which represents a UK first.安全已越来越先后次序所有型号作为标准不下九个气袋,包括司机膝部安全气囊,代表英国首. Secreted beneath the steering column, this system protects the driver?s knees and lower legs from injury.督导专栏分泌较少,这一制度保障了司机?膝盖及小腿的伤害. Step from an old Avensis into the cabin of the post-2003 car and you?ll spot no significant family resemblance.从老步进入机舱后avensis2003车,你呢?当地当场没有明显家族相似. The doors thunk shut like a Lexus and it was to their luxury division that Toyota looked to imbue the Avensis interior with a genuinely upmarket feel.车门关闭咚像个凌志、名贵师,这是对自己充满了期待丰田avensis内政部一个真正高档的感觉. It seems to have worked.它似乎奏效. Soft touch plastics, neat metallic finishes and a huge cabin make the Avensis feel a class up.触摸软塑料、金属装饰和整洁的机舱avensis感受到了巨大的一类.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Prices start at around £10,700 for the first of the for the 1.8-litre hatchback models with 2.0-litre versions commanding an additional £500.价格为10,700英镑左右开始了第一的1.8-2.0公升hatchback模范公升版本指挥额外500英镑. These cars still being fairly new, the depreciation curve is at its steepest but that said, the Avensis looks to be holding onto its new values well.这些车仍在相当新,其折旧曲线陡峻,但尽管如此,avensis期待的是掌握新的价值观. Tourers start at £12,500 for a 1.8 T3 on an 03 plate.tourers12,500英镑开始了1903年的T3为180盘.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
The Avensis has forged a reputation for monotonous reliability and while drivers of old Corollas may well have hoped in vain for a broken timing chain or an electrical fire to interrupt the car?s clockwork tedium, there?s no such issue with this version.avensis铸就的声誉和可靠性而单调corollas老司机可能希望落空了时间链条断裂或电气火灾打断轿车?收盘发条无聊、?这个版本没有这样的问题. As long as the service records have been properly adhered to, it?s difficult to imagine a more trouble-free car in its class ?只要坚持正确的服务纪录已,?收盘难以想象更畅通车阶级? a testament to both Toyota and the British workers.一份遗书,英双方丰田工人. A 1.8-litre long term car we ran performed virtually faultlessly during a six month spell, the only minor complaint being a slight rattle from the rear tailgate.180公升长期轿车几乎完美演出期间我们跑了6个百、只有轻微的投诉被从后面稍微嘎嘎栏板.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on a 1.8 five-door T3) Although pitched a little above what you?d expect to fork out for Vauxhall or Ford spares, Toyota?s parts pricing policy has come under the microscope of late with the result that many prices have been frozen or reduced.(基于大约180个门的T3)虽然有点搭起以上您?预计四叉出路上还是福特备件、丰田?收盘零件价格政策来晚显微镜下的价格,致使许多已经冻结或削减. A clutch assembly will cost in the region of £160, whilst an exhaust is around £350.离合器装配了该地区将耗资160英镑,而排气是350英镑左右. A new starter motor retails for around £175, although a replacement headlamp will be in the region of £220.新起动电机零售175英镑左右,虽然更换前照灯将在该地区220英镑. Repair costs have been kept down with a consequent effect on insurance premiums.修理费一直保持下来,因而影响了保险费.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
Better sound insulation has reduced weight and decreased noise, but to give some illustration as to how seriously Toyota took refinement, they didn?t choose the most refined car in the class ?更好隔声减体重下降、噪音、但对于如何让一些插图丰田代为认真细化、他们雾化?笔选择最精细的车班? let?s say the Vauxhall Vectra ?让?收盘vectra说狂暴? as a comparison when developing the post-2003 Avensis.作为一个发展中国家,当后-2003avensis. Instead they chose the Lexus LS400 as a benchmark and claim that even at 124mph, there is zero wind noise from the door mirrors.而他们选择的凌志LS400轿车为基准,并声称即使124mph,有风零噪音门镜. The Mondeo and the Peugeot 406 were identified as class leaders in the area of steering feel, handling and ride and Toyota have tuned the steering for better feedback.在蒙迪欧和标致406被确定为区级领导督导感觉,丰田已办理转乘调谐督导更好的反馈. The compact strut front suspension is similar to that of the Corolla, but the rear is a modified version of the Celica?s multilink system.紧凑杆前悬架类似的花冠表示,但后面是一个改良版的celica?收盘多连接系统. One advantage of this is that it reduces intrusion into the luggage bay, the saloon version featuring a 520-litre boot.一个好处是可降低闯入行李湾,球馆版展出520公升行李箱.
The 1.8-litre saloon will sprint to 60mph in 10.1 seconds and return 39.2mpg, making it quicker, more powerful and more economical than equivalent 1.8-litre variants of the Mazda6, the Renault Laguna, the Ford Mondeo and the Vauxhall Vectra.180公升球馆将在1月10日秒,冲刺到60mph返回39.2mpg,使其更快、更强大,比同等一点八公升的MAZDA6的变种,雷诺丽、福特蒙迪欧和狂暴vectra.
Unlike the D4-D range, the Avensis D-CAT range is only offered in saloon guise; liftback and Tourer buyers will have to kick their heels for a while.像D4的三维范围内,avensis丁猫射程仅提供球馆幌子;liftback买家和tourer便跟着他们踢了一会儿. Only one variant of this diesel engine is currently offered, a 114bhp powerplant that delivers a decent slug of torque ?仅此一变柴油机目前开办电厂一114bhp不负众望象样塞扭矩? 280Nm to be precise.用280nm以精确. Performance is reasonable, the Avensis hitting 60mph in 11.2 seconds and running on to a top speed of 121mph, but this car isn?t all about straight line speed, instead offering a relaxed and flexible power delivery that means you won?t have to frantically stir the stick whenever you need to make progress业绩是合理的,在2月11日秒,60mphavensis撞上行驶到最高速度121mph,但这车渡?笔一回事直线速度而提供宽松电力交货即是你赢了?笔都疯狂地搅拌木棒每当你需要取得进展
OVERALL 总体
The Toyota Avensis was transformed in 2003.2003年,丰田avensis面貌. If you want a rugged, well built and beautifully specified used mid range model, the Avensis takes some beating.如果你想要凹凸不平,并指定使用于各种建筑模型、精美的avensis稍感跳动. It may not be the most charismatic car in its class but it might just be the most solid.它可能不是最有魅力的车班,但可能只是最牢固.
