DAA-AVU65W

Listed 2014–2020. The DAA prefix (our explanation, not MLIT’s) means hybrid passenger car certified to Japan’s 2005 emissions rules, 75% below their limits. Check DAA-AVU65W against ULEZ and clean air zones.

Engine	Gearbox	Drive	Weight	Seats	Fuel economy	Listed
2AR2,493 cc hybrid	CVT automatic	four-wheel drive	1,750–1,840 kg	5	21.4–21.8 km/L60–62 mpg, Japanese JC08 test	2014–2020

Each row is one version as MLIT lists it. A version can appear twice when MLIT gave figures on two tests that year. Low-emission stars and trim names aren’t shown. MLIT gives fuel economy in km/L; the mpg figures are our conversion to UK gallons. Japanese tests are gentler than real UK driving, so expect less.

Check an AVU65W before you buy

Make sure the car is what the advert says: the chassis number on the V5C should start AVU65-, and the engine and gearbox should match one of the versions above. Our free check reads the UK MOT history and compares it with the chassis code.

Is DAA-AVU65W the same as AVU65W?

About these figures

The model types, engine codes, capacities, gearboxes, drive, weights, seats and km/L figures are copied from MLIT’s yearly lists of cars on sale in Japan each March, so “listed” years are list years, not exact production dates. The English model names, mpg conversions, emissions code explanations and chassis number matching are ours. Lists before 2013 were printed as PDFs that we read by machine; where an older list gives an engine code that doesn’t match its capacity, we’ve used the figure the same model type has in other years. Check anything that matters against the car’s own papers. Spotted a mistake? Email [email protected]. All Toyota model codes.
