2018 Toyota Avalon Review
Overview
Style and comfort meet performance and safety in the Toyota Avalon. A long list of standard features ensures an enjoyable driving experience and the available options only make it better. Master the art of driving in style in an Avalon today. Choose from five models starting with the well-equipped XLE and up to the luxurious Limited. All are powered by a 3.5-liter V-6 that balances performance with efficiency. How does 268 horsepower and 30 miles to the gallon sound? Pretty good right? Underbody diffuser panels and a super-low 0.28 coefficient of drag are key factors in the Avalon’s impressive fuel economy. They also help reduce wind noise inside the cabin adding to the luxury. As does French stitching on the standard leather-trimmed seats and other soft-touch areas. Available three-zone climate control Entune Premium JBL Audio system and much more make your Avalon a commuting sanctuary. And every Avalon comes with Toyota Safety Sense driver-assist features—and the Toyota Star Safety System. Choose from a variety of colors wheels and Genuine Toyota Accessories and build an Avalon that’s all yours. The Toyota Avalon. It’s a smarter choice.
Technology
Your Toyota Avalon surrounds you with technology. An Entune infotainment system with a seven-inch touchscreen dual-zone climate control keyless entry with push-button start thin-film-transistor multi-information display leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls Bluetooth voice command—these are just a few of every Avalon’s standard features. Available technology includes wireless charging so you can keep your wireless mobile device charged even if you forget the cord. And windshield wipers that turn themselves on when it rains. The Toyota Avalon. It’s innovation on four wheels.
Safety
Every Toyota Avalon comes with a comprehensive set of safety features. Standard equipment includes Toyota Safety Sense P which uses cameras and radar to scan the road ahead behind and to the side. If there’s a car—or pedestrian—in front of you your Avalon will slow and even come to a stop if necessary. If you start to drift out of your lane your Avalon will let you know—and take corrective action if you don’t. The Toyota Avalon. It’s safety on four wheels.
Performance
The Toyota Avalon is engineered to let you master every mile of every road. Its 3.5-liter V-6 pumps out 268 horsepower—and gets up to 30 miles per gallon. That kind of efficiency takes some serious engineering and design work. Like developing an intelligent dual-independent variable valve-timing system. And sculpting a body that looks great—and has a 0.28 coefficient of drag. And using underbody diffusers that reduce turbulence—which also reduces wind noise in the cabin. The sensibly powerful Toyota Avalon.
