Toyota Avanza Overview

The Toyota Avanza is a small multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) that combines practicality and cost-effectiveness in an affordable package made for the Philippines. With this, it’s a popular car choice among Filipino families because of its flexibility and capabilities as a seven-seater MPV. Its new styling includes less chrome on the front grille and removed strip at the side, along with smaller and sleeker headlamps.

The Avanza gets a substantial exterior and interior design update, which include a three-tier front lighting configuration and additional reflectors at the back. Even with its large boot, more trunk space can be made by simply folding the 50:50 rear seats.

Toyota Motor Philippines offers two engine options for the Avanza—both being the new generation Dual VVT-i 4-cylinder inline 16-valve DOHC engine. The 1.3-liter powerplant is capable of producing up to 95 horsepower and 121 Newton-meter of torque, while the 1.5-liter variant can provide up to 103 horsepower and 136 Newton-meter of torque. The new engine comes with either a 4-speed automatic transmission or a 5-speed manual transmission.
