The Toyota Ipsum, Picnic, SportsVan or Avensis Verso was a seven-seater multi-purpose
vehicle produced by the Japanese automaker Toyota from 1995 to 2010. The Ipsum, like many
Toyota products, was shared as a trio of the Toyota Gaia, and sold only at Japanese Toyota

Store locations, and the Toyota Nadia was sold at Toyota Corolla Store.

The second generation was introduced in May 2001 in Japan and also in Europe and Australia
(where it was marketed as the Avensis Verso).

The car is known as the Toyota Picnic in some markets, including Singapore and Hong Kong.
Apart from Japan, the Ipsum was also available (for Malaysia and Singapore). The commercial
"SportsVan" model continued to be available in Denmark; after the Ipsum/Picnic was
discontinued Toyota Denmark applied the SportsVan name to a commercial version of the
Toyota Verso (R20).
It features an enlarged wheelbase, rear air conditioners and inner room for seven seats. There is
also an optional roof rack that provides ability to carry outdoor equipment. The seats can be
pushed forward and flat for various configurations.

Engine options included a 2.0-litre 1AZ-FE petrol engine producing 150 PS (110 kW), a 2.4-litre
2AZ-FE petrol engine and a 2.0-litre 1CD-FTV D-4D turbodiesel engine producing 116 PS
(85 kW).

It received its facelift in October 2003, featuring a redesigned front and rear bumper, headlamps,
new LED type rear lamps and high mount stop lamp, interior trim and new alloy rims.[1]

In Australia, the Avensis Verso was available from 2001 to 2010 and was back-to-back winner
of Australia's Best People Mover award in 2002 and 2003.[2] There were two models, the 2001–
2003 ACM20R and the 2003–2010 ACM21R and both came in two trim levels, the base GLX
and the Ultima with upgraded interior trim and roof rails. The ACM20R model came in 3
variants with all having the 2.0 L 1AZ-FE engine. The GLX was available with either a 4-speed
automatic or a 5-speed manual transmission while the Ultima was only available with the 4-
speed automatic.[3] The 2004 model ACM21R arrived with a minor facelift and an upgraded
2.4 L 2AZ-FE engine. Both the GLX and Ultima variants were now only available with the 4-
speed automatic.

For Asia, production lasted until 2008.[citation needed] The entire model line was discontinued in late
2010.[citation needed]
