MIRI: UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd and Rimbunan Hijau Auto Services Sdn Bhd being authorised dealers of Toyota’s range of vehicles unveiled the all-new Avanza yesterday.

Following the successes of the previous Avanza models, this newly improvised 2012 Avanza model exudes a new sporty design, redesigned interiors and many state of the art features.

The new features on the exterior include a wider and more dynamic styling front outlook with the three-dimensional appearance centred on the bonnet ornament, creating an image of strength.

The windscreen angle of the all new Avanza is shallower, giving a sportier profile to the new model. A flowing character line on the sides adds dynamism, and together with the glass area makes the all new Avanza look sleeker and longer.

The interior is more modern-looking and spaciousness is one of the strong points of the all new Avanza. The new black interior theme combined with the solid and modern surface textures present an image of high quality.

The new dashboard design is lower to give a wider and more open feel for the front occupants. Complementing the two-tone theme of the dashboard is
the high-quality textured surface.

The new Avanza retains the 1.5-litre VVTi engine.

According to UMW Toyota Motor, it is four per cent more fuel efficient than the previous model, whereby one litre of fuel can travel up to 16.4 kilometres with the car running at 100km/h.

This is due to improved aerodynamics, lower weight and the adoption of electric power steering.

Furthermore, this new engine adheres to Euro4 standards, with cleaner emissions and making it more environment friendly than others which still comply with Euro2 standards.

Speaking at the launch of the all new Avanza recently, Ismet Suki, president of UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd said, “The first generation of Toyota Avanza was launched in October 2004 and was an immediate hit among the Malaysian public. In fact, we are proud to have made Avanza a household name among Malaysians, which became the best selling non-national model for three years in a row from 2005 till 2007.”

He added, in total, the company sold over 140,000 units of the Avanza up till end of last year.

The car comes in four variants namely 1.3E, 1.5E, 1.5G and the premium variant 1.5S; with four colours of choice, namely white, dark steel mica, silver mica metallic and maroon mica.

On the road prices (including insurance) range from RM66,375 to RM81,280.

In a nutshell, this seven-seater MPV is perfectly versatile for every purpose, be it for work, business or leisure.
