Toyota Avensis 2009 sedan features 5

Multidrive S is a type of automatic transmission. Unlike a conventional automatic, this gearbox allows for greater fuel economy, makes the vehicle's ride smoother, and reduces acceleration time.

The VSC+ stability control system is an improved version of the standard VSC. It enhances active safety during sharp steering maneuvers or wheel spin. Unlike the base version, VSC+ uses steering to counteract skidding or drifting of the vehicle in difficult road conditions when steering input is insufficient or excessive. The driver may feel increased force on the steering wheel and, by turning it in the correct direction, help the system stabilize the car.

High-intensity bi-xenon headlights (HID) are equipped with an adaptive lighting system (AFS) that boosts confidence during night driving. When the car enters a turn, the headlights rotate by a certain angle, illuminating the road section that usually remains in shadow. If there is a heavy load in the trunk, the system automatically reduces the beam angle before the journey even starts. During the trip, a dynamic headlight adjustment function is available: it changes the beam angle, compensating for sudden braking or acceleration.

In the Avensis, instead of a traditional key, an intelligent system is used that combines access to the cabin and starting the power unit. To open the doors, it is enough to touch the handle. The engine is started by pressing a button. At the same time, the driver must have a special "smart key" (Smart Key) with them; the key itself is not required to start the engine.

When reverse gear is engaged, the camera displays on the screen what is behind the car, and the image updates continuously. This significantly simplifies maneuvering in confined spaces, especially during parking.
