New Avensis Taxi makes its Mark

23/09/2009

 Bold in character and strong in intelligence, Toyota’s reputation for quality precedes the new Avensis.  With design enhancements, increased space and improved technology, the Avensis is sure to prove a big hit amongst the UK’s hard-working taxi trade.

Derek Hart from Bromley in Kent has been a taxi driver for 14 years and has recently taken delivery of his new Avensis taxi from Cab Direct.

When it came to deciding which vehicle to go for, it seems there was no competition for Derek.  He explains: “I'd heard so much about the new Avensis that when I decided to change, I didn’t need to compare it to anything else. I knew it was the cab for me.”

Style

Toyota's latest Avensis is the third generation model in the line-up, encompassing a harmony of smooth flowing lines, resulting in an impressive and powerful presence.  The new model is noticeably Toyota but with an evolutionary styling over the older model.  With meticulous attention to detail, the Avensis interior exudes a quiet confidence that stems from an inherent sense of quality.

Derek, who opted for the Avensis TR Tourer, was more than won over by the athletic styling.  He comments: “I absolutely love the shape of the new Avensis – that’s one of the reasons I choose it over anything else.  I also love how much space it gives me.  It’s perfect for taxiing.” 

The specification on the entry-level T2 is magnificent with standard equipment such as air-conditioning, electric windows, power assisted steering and a MP3-compatible radio/CD audio system featuring 6-speakers.  Opt for the T2 model, as Derek did, and you’ll also benefit from digital climate control, Bluetooth connectivity and a rear spoiler.  The Avensis boasts style and quality in abundance and you and your passengers are sure to be impressed.

Drive Technology

Outstanding build quality ensures the Avensis is a pleasure to drive.  From the responsive 126 bhp D-4D diesel power plant to the smooth, 6-speed gearbox there’s no compromise about this superb taxi workhorse.

The 2.0 litre D-4D diesel engine offers the latest in performance engineering.  Toyota’s fuel-saving features use low-friction, lightweight components and new ‘Optimal Drive’ engine technology combining plentiful power with low fuel consumption and low levels of undesirable emissions.

Derek comments: “New Avensis is extremely fuel efficient.  Also, with Toyota you know you’ve got a car you can rely on - so important in the taxi business.”

The great news for taxi drivers is that Cab Direct have negotiated a unique taxi trade special price with Toyota, offering the fabulous, all-new model Avensis from only £59.95 weekly + VAT.  Commenting on this fantastic offer, Sales Director, Peter Facenna said: “We’re delighted to be able to offer our customers this superb Toyota taxi at such a low cost.  It’s set to be even more popular than its famous predecessor.”
