The Toyota Avalon sedan was redesigned for 2019, and it’s now nimbler, has a plusher ride, and more stylish and fuel-efficient. We tested the hybrid version, which gets an impressive 42 mpg overall, a commendable achievement for such a large car.
All told, the latest Avalon is a sensible alternative to higher-priced luxury cars. The hybrid powertrain accelerates immediately from a stop because of its electric assist. But merging into traffic and passing maneuvers cause the engine to sound like it’s working hard, and those revs create a coarse soundtrack.
In most cases, automotive warranties are based on the vehicle identification number (VIN), and the warranty will be valid regardless of ownership. The dealership can tell you exactly how much warranty is left.

"My 2017 Avalon did NOT have a shifting problem. The 2020A Avalon Limited transmission is very Jerky between 0 & 20 mph. The Dealership installed the software update that did NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. When will Toyota fix the problem. I drove another Avalon Limited and it had the same Jerky transmission problem. Otherwise, we love the car!"
