Toyota Avalon

View all Toyota Vehicles
Current Model
Toyota's flagship is roomy, rides comfortably, and has easy-to-use controls, which make it a pleasant large car. The uplevel 3.5-liter V6 engine and eight-speed automatic transmission deliver smooth and robust acceleration.
The hybrid has a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that returned 42-mpg overall in our tests, which is impressive for such a large sedan. All-wheel drive can be paired with the base 2.5-liter engine on certain trims. Ride comfort is excellent; it is plusher than in most Lexus models. The cabin is quiet and lavishly furnished, particularly with the Limited trim. Handling is responsive and secure, but the car's low stance hurts ease of access. The infotainment system's touch screen is easy to use, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility is standard. Standard active safety features include FCW, AEB with pedestrian detection, and BSW.

2013-2018
2013 Redesign Year
A full redesign, along with a hybrid version returning 36 mpg, arrived for 2013. Handling was greatly improved, but the cushy ride was stiffened a bit too much, especially on versions with the 18-inch tires, detracting from the car's previously relaxed character.
A 2016 update improved the ride, reinstating it to what is expected from a big luxury sedan. The coupe-like styling necessitated the sacrifice of some rear-seat room, though it is still quite good. Outward visibility to the rear was compromised somewhat as well. Available active safety features include adaptive cruise control, blind-spot detection, rear cross-traffic alert and a forward-collision warning system. Interior materials aren't quite as plush as you'd expect for the price, and some controls are annoying.

2005-2012
2005 Redesign Year
Providing an alternative to some luxury-branded sedans, this generation of the Avalon readily competes in the large sedan category. Interior fit and finish rival its Lexus relatives and the reclining rear seat was an unusual offering in this class for the time.
 Rear seat room is generous, access is easy, and visibility is aided by huge windows. Ride quality is smooth, though handling is considerably less than athletic. Touring models handle better. Stability control is included as standard equipment. Abundant power comes from the smooth and efficient 3.5-liter V6. 2008 brought a six-speed automatic transmission.

2000-2004
The Avalon has always been a well-executed large sedan, essentially a stretched Camry with more upscale features. High points include the silky-smooth powertrain, Lexus-like road isolation, and generous accommodations.
Earlier Avalons came with a suspension that tended to float too much at highway speeds, except in the Touring versions.
