The Toyota Avensis Verso, the stylish and dynamic alternative to boxy compact MPVs, has been restyled and given an improved specification for the New Year. Available from 2 February, it offers both good looks and practicality for owners looking for a more versatile alternative to conventional family saloons and hatchbacks.

Launched in August 2001, the Avensis Verso seats up to seven in three rows of seats. The rear two rows are multi-adjustable for flexible arrangements of seating and load space. They can also be removed completely, expanding the load capacity to more than 2,400 litres, loading to the roof.
