Much difference in Toyota diesels?
Is there much difference ina drive for a 00 2ltr diesel avensis and a d4d one
Our answer:
Hi Charlotte,
It depends entirely on precisely which D4D model you’re talking about. The old 2.0-litre diesel will be less refined, less powerful and a bit less economical than the early D4D unit, and that gap will widen, and quite significantly so, the newer the model you’re looking at.
