Across the board, equipment specifications have been raised for the new, British-built Toyota Avensis. Foremost among the improvements is the provision of Toyota's innovative and affordable Touch and Go integrated multimedia and navigation system as a standard feature on all models bar the entry level T2 grade.
 Taking in-car connectivity to an even higher level, new Avensis also marks the introduction of the latest development of Touch and Go, Touch and Go Plus. A standard feature of the top-of-the-range T Spirit models, Toyota Touch and Go Plus broadens the functionality and versatility of the system to include features such as access to email, advanced traffic data improved mapping, and voice recognition.
Having the ability to keep connected to key communications channels while on the move will further strengthen the appeal of new Avensis to business customers, in addition to the attractive company car tax position enjoyed by the new 119g/km 2.0 D-4D diesel engine, which makes its debut in the 2012 Avensis.
Avensis is the first Toyota to offer Toyota Touch and Go Plus. It is designed for quick and easy use, with an advanced voice recognition system for inputting navigation addresses and "one-shot" destination entry. The on-board entertainment functions include a music search-and-play and, using a Gracenote database, a 'Play More Like This' music function.
Email can be sent and received and, for convenience on the move, there is a text-to-speech message function and a phonebook search-and-call facility.
The more sophisticated satellite navigation mapping incorporates 3D city modelling and landmarks, and an additional Traffic Patterns database which shows the average speed on sections of a programmed route, according to the time, day and month.
The system includes three years' free map and software updates.
Future upgrades will enable text messages and emails to be dictated, and for the screen to display Google Search Street View.
