The wife and I wanted a bigger car car (I'm 6'1" and getting old), need a car that is easier to get in and out of. Worth the read, but you have to drive it sooner or later.
TOYOTA AVALON 2021 MANUAL
Owners Manual is 580 pages, Infotainment Manual is 300 pages. For more Toyota specifics on the Battery, Hybrid, and Engine watch The Car Nut. … Will assure you about issues about "The Battery"(10 year/150,000 mile warranty on the Battery/Hybrid System).
There are so many bells and whistles (digital) that I recommend going to YouTube and watch the 2020 2Guys and a Ride vehicle features and Infotainment System videos. The dealership "made an offer I couldn't refuse". Standing-start accel times omit 1-ft rollout of 0.3 sec.Just moved up from a 2015 Camry LE to "The Beast". All-wheel drive has its appeal, but the 2.5-liter four is a mismatch in a car as slick and comfortable as the Avalon.įront-engine, all-wheel-drive, 5-passenger, 4-door sedanĭOHC 16-valve inline-4, aluminum block and heads, direct fuel injectionīrakes (F/R): 12.0-in vented disc/11.6-in disc Sedans like the Acura TLX, the Audi A4, and the Volvo S60 aren't quite as large as the Avalon, but they offer more refinement and performance for the same price as our Limited. Because if you really want all-wheel drive in a roomy sedan and don't want an Arteon, there are a number of luxury-brand sedans with all-wheel drive, turbocharged engines, and only slightly less rear-seat space. If we had to choose-and until Toyota revises its lineup, we do-we'd get an Avalon with the V-6 and front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive will undoubtedly help widen the Avalon's appeal to buyers who value that extra bit of traction under acceleration in snowy or rainy weather, but the four-cylinder sacrifices power and smoothness compared to the V-6. Those high-end features and finishes give Toyota the evidence to credibly claim that the Avalon is a luxury car-or at least a contender in the middle ground between the mainstream and premium market segments. LOWS: Coarse-sounding four-cylinder engine, sluggish acceleration, several luxury-branded sedans available at this price. The Limited brings adaptive headlamps, wood interior trim (sourced from Yamaha), a sunroof, leather upholstery, a 14-speaker JBL audio system, and a wireless smartphone charging pad. All-wheel drive is also offered on the $6300 less-expensive XLE trim, but spending more for the Limited model takes the Avalon upmarket into the Lexus-sphere. Our Limited test vehicle came in at $44,699 and included the $1150 Advanced Safety package (including a 360-degree exterior camera, parking sensors, and rear automated emergency braking) as well as $379 illuminated door sills. In EPA testing, the four-cylinder version returns 28 mpg combined to the V-6's 26 mpg. Our test vehicle matched the Avalon V-6 model's 34 mpg in our 75-mph highway fuel-economy test. Good fuel economy remains an Avalon hallmark. The Volkswagen's turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder pumps out a whopping 66 more ponies than the Avalon's 2.5-liter and is far more refined throughout its rev range. The Arteon, Volkswagen's answer to the all-wheel-drive Avalon, can hit 60 mph in 6.4 seconds and run the quarter-mile in 14.7 seconds. That's well behind the V-6-powered Avalon Touring's 6.0-second sprint to 60 mph and 14.8-second quarter-mile time. In our instrumented testing, the Avalon Limited needed 7.7 seconds to reach 60 mph and 15.9 seconds to complete the quarter-mile at 89 mph. Audi A4 45Īround town, acceleration is merely adequate.

The all-wheel-drive system is always sending torque to the front wheels, but if the front tires begin to lose traction, an electronically controlled coupling engages to send up to half of the engine's torque to the rear. Unfortunately for those of us who like acceleration, the all-wheel-drive version is only available with a 2.5-liter four with 202 horsepower instead of the front-drive Avalon's 301-hp V-6. For 2021, Toyota adds optional all-wheel drive for those of us whose floormats are stained with salt. The Toyota Avalon continues to bang the drum for its tribe, despite similar models such as the Buick LaCrosse, the Chevrolet Impala, and the Kia Cadenza all bowing out of contention.Īlthough most of its competitors have been discontinued, Toyota continues to enhance the Avalon lineup.
TOYOTA AVALON 2021 UPGRADE
There was a time when a large sedan was a common sight in American driveways, but lately the full-size four-door is more likely to be an unplanned upgrade at the Hertz counter than a deliberate dealership purchase.
