New Avensis and Prius in Frankfurt

Toyota will have world premiers of its revised Avensis range (pictured) and updated Prius family of full hybrid models at this month's Frankfurt Motor Show.

The new 2012 Hilux will also be making its European debut with a new-look interior offering the comfort and convenience of a passenger car, and the three-door version of the recently launched new Yaris will be on public view for the first time.

The changes to the British-built Avensis include revised exterior styling, an improved look and feel of the interior, as well as changes to the powertrains and driving dynamics. Together, these changes represent the largest mid-life investment Toyota has made for any model.

The brand's full hybrid model, Prius, (pictured right) has been updated and is joined by the production version of Prius Plug-in Hybrid and the seven-seat Prius+.

The Prius Plug-in Hybrid has C02 emissions potentially as low as 49g/km. Prius+ will deliver sub-100g/km C02 emissions.
