Avensis was also sold in Kenya as new by Toyota Kenya. My understanding is that all Avensis are made in UK. They only go to Japan as exports.
I should guess that the two are comparable on vast number aspects given they succeed Carina [Avensis] and Corona [Premio]. Eventually the Avensis emerges as a winner when you go past basics
There is an overlap as to which car replaced the Carina, between AVENSIS n ALLION. Seems Avensis retired the Carina in Europe, n the Allion in Japan.
Notice the similarities between japanese Carina vs old premio, and the Allion vs later model Premio.
In terms of thirstness, these modern engines rate almost the same. Allion/Premio 1.8l gives 16kpl while the 1.5l does 16.4 kpl on the highway. Negligible difference, but the bigger engine gives a much superior performance with a sweet burst of power.
