This covers cars DVLA records under this version’s name only; the Toyota Avensis page covers every version. How we use engine sizes.

- This version groups DVLA’s detailed model names “AVENSIS ICON B-NESS ED V-MATIC”. Engine size, gearbox, number of doors and fuel are ignored, so every engine and gearbox counts together.
- Survival compares the number still registered (licensed or SORN) with the number first registered since 2001. Other versions are those of the same model with the same average year of first registration.
