Toyota Avensis vs Hyundai i40 - pictures

The bestselling engine for the Hyundai i40 is likely to be the BlueDrive 1.7-litre CRDi diesel.

The i40 has a really comfortable ride.

Inside the infotainment system has been revised, but the rest of the slightly dated cabin has been left alone.

The i40 remains a practical family option.

The boot is large but the opening is slightly narrow - for the best practicality go for the handsome i40 Tourer.

The i40 is the model that best portrays Hyundai's spectacular rise into the mainstream.

The i40 has recently been given a facelift and features styling tweaks, more efficient engines and differing trim levels.
