The facelifted Toyota Avanza and facelifted Toyota
Avanza Veloz MPV have leaked in Indonesia, in images posted by Autonetmagz. The
new family vans have a more stylish exterior and feature a refreshed interior.
At the front, the 2019 Toyota Avanza features split
headlamps like the Toyota Voxy and Toyota Vellfire, a larger grille in gloss
black, new fog lamp housing in gloss black and a more angular bumper. At the
rear, changes include a sportier bumper, fresh tailgate garnish, circular light
reflectors, new roof spoiler and revised L-shaped tail lamps. Some of these are
exclusive to the Veloz variant.
Moving inside, Toyota has redesigned the
centre console and used a silver frame for giving it a more lavish look. New
comfort and convenience features include steering-mounted audio controls and
automatic climate control. We are yet to know whether passive keyless entry and
engine start-stop button are part of the lifecycle action.
No word yet on the specifications of the facelifted
Toyota Avanza and facelifted Toyota Avanza Veloz. The old model is available
with a 1.3-litre Dual VVT-i petrol engine that produces 96.5 PS and 120 Nm of torque and a 1.5-litre Dual VVT-i petrol engine that develops 104
PS and 136 Nm of torque. 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic
are the transmission choices. These are very likely to continue serving.
The 2019 Toyota Avanza Veloz, as well as the regular
2019 Toyota Avanza, should go on sale in Indonesia in some weeks. At the same
time, Daihatsu may release a similarly updated version of the platform twin,
the Xenia. In India, Toyota is gearing up for the launch of the tenth
generation Camry this month and has no plans drawn up for the Avanza or Rush.
