5 Toyota Avanza Facts, Already Know?

Who doesn't know this one million Toyota car, who else but Toyota Avanza. Due to the large number of people choosing this low MPV car as the main means of transportation, Avanza managed to win the title of Toyota's best-selling car after Kijang.

This achievement was not achieved just like that, as Toyota continued to innovate and refresh Avanza tailored to the community's needs for family cars. Despite its success, there are some unique Toyota Avanza facts that you may not have known all this time.

Did you know that the name Avanza comes from the Italian or Roman language, "Avanzato". Avanzato himself if interpreted in Indonesian means improvement. But there are also rumors that Avanza is taken from Latin which means advanced.

Naming cars taken from foreign languages ​​is not a new thing for Toyota, as some other Toyota-made cars such as Calya and Sigra are also named after foreign languages.

With the dominance of local materials will certainly make it easier for users to repair the car in the event of a breakdown from time to time, as its users can easily find Avanza spare parts in car workshops.

4. Have Twin Brothers

This low MPV car has twin brothers, the Daihatsu Xenia. Probably not a few are wondering why Xenia and Avanza can be so similar in terms of appearance, the answer is no different and not because the two cars were born from the same factory, namely Daihatsu.
