2016 Toyota Avalon Information

2016 Toyota Avalon

Toyota Avalon is among the best of the large sedans, competing closely with the highly ranked Chevrolet Impala. The current-generation was launched as a 2013 model, but it has been updated for 2016.

For 2016, Toyota Avalon is distinguished by a new, larger grille, new taillights, slimmer parking lights and turn signal lights, a new chrome accent on the rear bumper, and new wheel designs. The suspension on the 2016 Avalon XLE and Limited has been retuned for comfort, while the 2016 Avalon Touring model gets sportier settings.

Avalon is a satisfying car to drive and offers lively response. Its quiet and comfortable underway. Its an attractive car, sleek and neatly styled.

All models are equipped well and Avalon Limited models offer Lexus levels of luxury. The cabins are roomy, attractively designed and trimmed well with superb materials.

The standard 3.5-liter V6 is rated at 268 horsepower and 248 pound-feet of torque and comes with a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters. Toyota claims 0 to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds, quite quick. Its EPA-rated 21/31 mpg City/Highway.

Avalon Hybrid boasts an EPA-estimated 40/39 mpg City/Highway. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 8.2 seconds, according to Toyota, which is respectable performance.

2014 Toyota Avalon Information

2014 Toyota Avalon

The Toyota Avalon was completely redesigned for the 2013 model year, offering more responsive handling while maintaining excellent ride quality. A smooth, powerful V6 engine comes standard, while a hybrid gas-electric powertrain is optional for better fuel economy and extremely low emissions. The Avalon is fairly easy to operate, and the standard leather interior is comfortable and attractive. It's very easy to live with.

The Avalon is designed in Southern California, engineered in Detroit, and built at Toyota's plant in Georgetown, Kentucky. It's the most American-made car that Toyota has ever offered.

With Toyota being known for vanilla design, the striking Avalon is almost shocking. But it's precisely what Toyota's top executive, President Akio Toyoda, the grandson of the founder, had in mind when he promised to pump new passion into the brand.

The Avalon has an expensive look and feel, muscular and refined, with styling you might expect from the latest Ford or Hyundai. The profile could be mistaken for a Ford Fusion, or the coupe-like roofline for an Audi A7. The interior boasts a near-luxury level of refinement, including hand-stitched leather. The large touchscreen adapts the latest version of Toyota's EnTune infotainment system, and the LCD screen atop the center stack replaces many knobs and buttons.

Avalon is available with two powertrains, mainly the 3.5-liter, 90-degree V6 engine with Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence that produces 268 horsepower at 6200 rpm and 248 pound-feet of torque. It delivers excellent fuel economy for its horsepower and 3400-plus pounds, EPA rated at 21/31 city/highway mpg. Toyota says it does 0 to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds, quite quick. It's smooth getting there.

The Avalon Hybrid will draw buyers wanting the best fuel mileage they can get in a big sedan. It uses a four-cylinder engine and an electric motor that make a combined 200 horsepower. It uses the latest Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive, and is EPA rated at 40 combined mpg, eye-popping numbers for a full-size sedan. It accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in around 8 seconds, quite decent. Avalon is the first full-size Toyota sedan to offer a hybrid gas-electric powertrain.

2013 Toyota Avalon Information

2013 Toyota Avalon

The Toyota Avalon has been completely redesigned for the 2013 model year. We thought the previous-generation Avalon (2005-2012 models) was commendable for its smooth ride and easy operability. The all-new 2013 Avalon builds on this, offering more responsive handling while maintaining excellent ride quality. A smooth, powerful V6 engine comes standard, while a hybrid gas-electric powertrain is optional for better fuel economy and extremely low emissions. But what makes the Avalon great is that it's so easy to operate, a refreshing trait in a world of complicated, vexing cars and gadgets. The interior is comfortable and attractive, with leather standard. We found it very easy to live with the all-new 2013 Avalon.

For a brand long known for its high quality and plain vanilla design, Toyota sent shock waves through the industry when it first displayed the all-new Avalon. When compared to the latest-generation Camry midsize sedan, the 2013 Avalon full-size sedan looks like it came from another company entirely. But the 2013 Avalon is precisely what Toyota's top executive, President Akio Toyoda, the grandson of the company's founder, had in mind when he promised to pump new passion into the brand.

The 2013 Avalon is visually striking, with the sort of cutting-edge styling you might expect from the latest Ford or Hyundai, or even Mercedes-Benz. The new design clearly gives the new Toyota a much more expensive look and feel.

The overall look of the 2013 Toyota Avalon is more muscular and refined than the old, lumpen box, with a coupe-like roofline that is somewhat reminiscent of the striking Audi A7. The interior, meanwhile, boasts an almost luxury-class level of refinement, with upgraded leather that is now being hand-stitched to deliver a visual sense of craftsmanship. The large touchscreen adapts the latest version of Toyota's EnTune infotainment system and the LCD screen atop the center stack replaces most traditional knobs and buttons. The rest migrate to a capacitive system that can be operated with barely a touch.

The redesigned 2013 Avalon is available with two distinct powertrain options, the most popular of which is likely to be the 3.5-liter, 90-degree, DOHC, six-cylinder engine with Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence that produces 268 horsepower at 6200 rpm and 248 pound-feet of torque. The 3.5-liter V6 delivers surprisingly good fuel economy considering the size of the new Avalon sedan and the power it pumps out. We found it smooth and powerful. Toyota says the Avalon with the 3.5-liter V6 can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds, which is quite quick.

Those who want to maximize mileage will be drawn to the Avalon hybrid models, which use the latest iteration of the Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive and are expected to get up to 40 miles per gallon. That's impressive for a full-size sedan, and all the more impressive considering the minimal sacrifice in performance. The 2013 Toyota Avalon Hybrid is estimated to launch from 0 to 60 mph in around 8 seconds, which is average acceleration performance. The 2013 Avalon is the first full-size Toyota sedan to offer a hybrid gas-electric powertrain.

The 2013 Toyota Avalon is produced at Toyota's plant in Georgetown, Kentucky. The new Toyota sedan is, in fact, the most American car the Japanese maker has ever offered, the design work being handled by Toyota's advanced styling studio in Southern California, while the primary engineering work was done in suburban Detroit.
