THIS IS the first official image of the new Toyota Avensis. The rear shot shows the styling of the new saloon, which features more sweeping Lexus-inspired styling lines. Toyota has also reworked the interior quality.
Going on sale next year, it will take the stage at the Paris motor show beside a production version of the long-awaited IQ city car.
Billed as the world's smallest premium four-seater, the IQ will have a CO2 rating of 99g/km from its 1.0-litre engine. It's likely to reach the Irish market by February of next year. The final reveal at Paris will be a production version of the 1.4-litre D-4D diesel all-wheel-drive (AWD) Urban Cruiser.
Finally, a new Prius will arrive in Ireland next summer.
