At the upcoming Paris Motor Show, Toyota will introduce three new models to try and conquer European hearts: Toyota's third-generation flagship Avensis model, the production-ready iQ and the Urban Cruiser. Each of these model has at least somethinig that's slightlyt green that Toyota can highlight: for the Avensis sedan, Toyota promises low CO₂ emissions (current Avensis offerings include a D-Cat clean diesel version) with excellent performance - exactly which powertrains will sit under the hood will be announced before the end of the year. We're quite familiar with the iQ, the 3-meter long 4-seater with CO₂ emissions of just 99 g/km at the bottom end and the
world's first curtain shield airbags installed behind the rear seats. The Urban Cruiser is getting Toyota's 1.4-liter D-4D diesel (also seen in the Yaris and the Auris) which has CO₂ emissions of 133 g/km for the AWD version.
