General description
The 2009 Toyota Avensis Cross Sport Active 2.0 D-4D 126 is a proposition that combines the versatility of a family car with the efficiency of a diesel engine. Priced at €24,700, this model positions itself as a sensible option for those seeking a practical and reliable car, without great fanfare, but with the guarantee of the Japanese brand. Its 126 HP engine and combined consumption of 5.1 l/100km make it attractive for daily use and long journeys.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Avensis Cross Sport, the predominant sensation is one of comfort and smoothness. The 2.0 D-4D 126 HP engine, although not an outpouring of power, delivers its 300 Nm of torque from 1800 rpm, which translates into adequate response for most situations. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 10 seconds and a top speed of 200 km/h are correct figures for its segment. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and deformable parallelogram at the rear, filters out road irregularities well, offering a pleasant ride. The electric power steering is precise, although it lacks the sportier feedback. Overall, it is a car that invites relaxed and efficient driving.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2009 Toyota Avensis Cross Sport is functional and discreet, with lines that seek elegance without being flashy. The 5-door body, with a length of 4765 mm, a width of 1810 mm, and a height of 1480 mm, offers a solid presence on the road. The 16-inch wheels with 205/60 R16 tires complement its aesthetic. The interior, although not luxurious, is well resolved, with quality materials and an ergonomic design that prioritizes ease of use. The 543-liter trunk capacity is one of its strong points, ideal for families or those who need cargo space.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the 2009 Avensis Cross Sport Active comes with the essentials for its time. Its common rail direct injection diesel engine, turbo with variable geometry and intercooler, is an example of mechanical efficiency. The 6-speed manual transmission allows good control over consumption and performance. Although it does not have the latest innovations in connectivity or driving assistants that we see today, its equipment focuses on safety and basic comfort, with ventilated disc brakes at the front and solid ones at the rear, and a well-balanced chassis for safe driving.
Competition
At the time, the Toyota Avensis Cross Sport Active 2.0 D-4D 126 competed in a very competitive segment. Its main rivals included models such as the Volkswagen Passat Variant, the Ford Mondeo Sportbreak, the Opel Insignia Sports Tourer, or the Mazda 6 Wagon. Compared to them, the Avensis stood out for its reputation for reliability, its ride comfort, and its fuel efficiency, although it perhaps offered a less daring design or slightly more contained performance compared to some of the more powerful options from the competition.
Conclusion
The 2009 Toyota Avensis Cross Sport Active 2.0 D-4D 126 is a car that more than fulfills its purpose: to offer reliable, comfortable, and spacious transportation for daily use and travel. Its diesel engine is efficient, and its design, although sober, is timeless. It is an intelligent choice for those who value durability and practicality above trends or extreme performance. A loyal travel companion that will not disappoint those looking for a car to enjoy without complications.
