Want to peak into the not-so-distant future? Toyota reveal new Avensis and city car.

The new version of the Japanese giant's local flagship and the dinky iQ are two of the vehicles they've unveiling at the Paris Motor Show, alongside an Urban Cruiser.

They've been pretty quiet on actual details but, from the rear the new Avensis features a strong shoulder line, large taillights, a short deck lid, and complex concave surfacing above the side sills.

And when the car's launched in Europe around January, it will feature a range of cleaner and more powerful engines.

The baby Yaris iQ is based on the concept car of the same name that was first show at last year's Frankfurt Motor show, while the Urban Cruiser is a rugged-looking but tarmac-loving SUV.
