TheToyota Avanza andDaihatsu Xenia are a series ofmulti-purpose vehicles (MPV) developed byDaihatsu and marketed by bothToyota and Daihatsu, mainly sold with three-row seating.^[4][5] The Avanza and Xenia were developed as an entry-level MPV marketed mainly for the Indonesian and other emerging markets, and mainly produced in Indonesia byAstra Daihatsu Motor.^[6] Avanza's spiritual predecessor was theKijang, whose model program has since been split into two different models (the other being the largerKijang Innova) to expand Toyota's reach in the MPV sector.

In addition to Indonesia, the Avanza is sold throughout Southeast Asia, Mexico, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the Middle East, Caribbean, Egypt, South Africa and other various African countries. A rebadged version of the car was sold in China under theFAW badge until 2016.^[7]

In 2021, the Avanza spawned another twin model called theToyota Veloz, which the "Veloz" name was previously used for Avanza's flagship grade level for some markets between 2011 and 2021. The Avanza also served as a basis for the second-generationPerodua Alza, which was introduced in Malaysia in 2022.^[1]

The Avanza was the best-selling passenger car in Indonesia between 2006 and 2019, and then in 2021. At the peak of its popularity in 2013, the Avanza made up 17 percent of total car sales in Indonesia (22 percent combined with the Xenia).^[8] By November 2018, around 2.75 million units of Avanza/Xenia had been sold globally.^[9]

The nameAvanza is derived from the Spanish wordavanza which means 'get moving' and the Italian wordavanzato, which means 'advance'. The nameXenia is derived from the Greek termXenia, a concept of hospitality.^[10] The nameVeloz is taken from the Spanish wordveloz, meaning 'fast'.

The Avanza and Xenia were both conceived by Toyota, Daihatsu and its Indonesian subsidiaries in the wake of the1997 Asian financial crisis. At the time, the price of the best-selling Kijang had skyrocketed, while the economy in the country had just recovered from the crisis.^[11] Feasibility studies started in 1999 whenToyota-Astra Motor proposed for a more affordable vehicle under the Kijang for the Indonesian market. Toyota Motor Corporation handed the development and manufacturing of the vehicle to Astra Daihatsu Motor due to Daihatsu's expertise on low-cost vehicles in Indonesia.^[12] Toyota and Daihatsu invested a total ofUS$90,000,000 for the project.^[13]

The project was also referred by Toyota as the U-IMV (Under-IMV) project, a reference to the Innova that sits in a segment above the Avanza which rides on theIMV platform.^[14] Unlike the Kijang and the succeedingKijang Innova that both utilised fullbody-on-frame chassis, the first two generations of Avanza/Xenia used a semi-unibody chassis where the front half of the chassis used body-on-frame construction, while the rear half used monocoque construction.^[15][16] This hybrid-type chassis made it possible for the vehicle to retain therear-wheel-drive layout from the previous generations of Kijang along with its ability to handle heavier loads. According to journalists, it also came with several downsides such as unstable ride during high speeds and unrefinedNVH levels.^[17]

The second-generation model retained the same platform as the original model and took 4 years of development. Toyota and Daihatsu investedRp 900,000,000,000 for the project.^[18]

The third-generation model ditched the semi-unibody chassis with rear-wheel-drive layout in favour of the full unibody construction of theDaihatsu New Global Architecture withfront-wheel-drive layout. According to Toyota and Daihatsu, the switch was made as the infrastructure quality had improved in Indonesia, along with efficiency, performance and comfort benefits of the front-wheel-drive layout.^[19]

The first-generation Avanza/Xenia was assembled at the first Indonesian Daihatsu plant inSunter, Jakarta. Between 2008 and 2011,Toyota also manufactured the car inKarawang under contract to meet the high demand.^[20] The second-generation model is assembled at the same plant as the first-generation model and also at the second Daihatsu plant in Karawang, West Java, from April 2013 to an unspecified period.^[21][22] For the third-generation model, production in Indonesia is split between the Daihatsu plant in Sunter for the Avanza and Xenia, and at the Toyota plant in Karawang for the Avanza and Veloz.^[23] It was also contract assembled in Malaysia byPerodua for the first models to be sold by Toyota with the Avanza badging. Vietnamese assembly for the third-generation model is also carried out viaCKD method. The Malaysian market Veloz is fully manufactured in the country since 2022, sharing the assembly line with the similarPerodua Alza.^[24]

The Avanza was unveiled on 11 December 2003^[42][43] and released on 15 January 2004.^[44] The car emerged from the first collaboration project between Toyota and Daihatsu in Indonesia with development led by Toyota chief engineer Kaoru Hosokawa, product planning leader of Toyota Commercial Vehicle Development Centre.^[45][46] It was manufactured atAstra Daihatsu Motor'sSunter assembly plant, with 61 percent of its parts were sourced locally.^[47]

While Toyota targeted a total sales of 30,000 for the year 2004, in January, a total of 25,000 bookings for the car had been received, leading to the increase of production capacity.^[48][49] It sold 43,936 units in that year, which made it the third best-selling car in Indonesia.^[50] The Avanza emerged as the best-selling car there from 2006, replacing the Kijang Innova which held the title in 2005.^[51][52]

At launch, the Avanza was initially available with two grade levels: the 1.3 E and 1.3 G, both powered with a 1.3-litreK3-DEfour-cylinder engine mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. Starting from July 2004, the limited-production 1.3 S grade with a 4-speed automatic transmission was available to the Indonesian market.^[53] Similar to the export models, the 1.3-litre engine was upgraded to use variable valve timing (VVT-i) technology and individualdirect ignitioncoils, while changing the designation toK3-VE. The variant also included theanti-lock braking system and extrasound dampening materials.^[54][55] For the first time, a black exterior colour option was also added at the same time.

In July 2006, it received its firstfacelift with a redesigned grille, bumper, beige interior colour and updated tail lights.^[56] The 1.3 E and 1.3 G grades were upgraded to use theK3-VE 1.3-litre VVT-i petrol engine, complied withEuro 2 standards.^[57] In October 2006, the flagship 1.5 S grade was introduced. It is powered by a3SZ-VE 1.5-litre VVT-i petrol engine along with dedicated front bumper, rear bumper, side skirts and grille designs.^[58]

The Avanza received an update on 14 October 2008 with an updated ceiling with grooves to improve airflow, a revamped interior and steering wheel with four spokes. It received a front bumper mesh grille, added fog light garnish and a chrome accent in the rear window.^[59][60] On 17 November 2009, the 1.3 E and 1.3 G grades received a 4-speed automatic transmission option.^[61]

In Malaysia, the Avanza was unveiled on 7 October 2004 and launched on 29 October 2004. Sold throughUMW Toyota distribution network,^[62] it was available with a 1.3-litre engine mated to either a manual or an automatic transmission. It was assembled byPerodua by importingCKD kits from Indonesia.^[63][64] In October 2006, the Avanza received its facelift in Malaysia. Two newer grades were offered: 1.3 E and 1.5 G. In 2008, the Avanza received another minor update with the introduction of 1.5 S grade.^{[citation needed]}

In 2006, the Avanza makes up 40 percent of Toyota total sales in Malaysia and around 140,000 units were sold in the country by 2012.^[57][65]

In the Philippines, the first-generation Avanza had been on sale since 2006.^[66][67] It was available in two grade levels: the J grade with a 1.3-litre engine, having no power windows and locks, and only available with a manual transmission, while the G grade has a 1.5-litre engine, and available with a five-speed manual transmission and a four-speed automatic transmission respectively. In 2008, the J grade was made available without the third row seat. This particular grade is popularly used as metered taxicabs in the Philippines. The Avanza was also updated in 2008 with an updated ceiling with grooves to improve airflow to the rear and an updated interior colour scheme.

In Thailand, the first-generation Avanza had been on sale since mid-2004.^[47][68]
