Toyota’s Avalon is a full-sized sedan that’s known for offering top build quality and a long list of luxurious features at a great price. That excellent value only gets better with the strong-performing and economical powertrain of its hybrid models. Take a look at why owners love the 2021 Toyota Avalon Hybrid.
1. Highly Efficient Powertrain
The Avalon’s hybrid 2.4L inline-four engine is standard in XLE, XSE, and Limited trims. It’s paired with Toyota’s quick-shifting electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT) with Sequential Shiftmatic Mode for a smooth driving experience. Mileage is impressive at an EPA-rated 43/44/44, city/highway/combined MPG with the XLE Hybrid and the powerplant delivers a healthy 215 horsepower and 149 lb.-ft of torque.
The ECVT features ECO, Normal, Sport, and EV driving modes for added versatility. You can use the ECO mode to maximize your mileage or Normal for the most comfortable ride. Sport mode sharpens handling and highlights the sound of the engine, and the EV mode enables the car to be driven solely by the electric motors for a short distance—useful for crowded parking lots or moving during slow traffic.
2. Bold Styling
Handsome, sporty, and sophisticated are all words that describe the Avalon’s looks. The sedan’s front end looks aggressive with its large grille and narrow headlights available with LED lighting. Its aerodynamic lines flow elegantly to the rear and there are several vents placed throughout the body along with an available rear diffuser to reduce drag to a coefficient of just 0.27.
Sequential LED turn signals on the Limited Hybrid model and available 18-inch Super Chrome aluminum-alloy wheels add extra style points.
3. Premium Interior
Avalon Hybrid owners and their passengers enjoy the ride in a beautifully designed and well-built cabin. The available Cognac or Graphite leather upholstery features fine stitching and there are heated, ventilated seats as an option to keep you comfortable no matter what the outside temperature is. Genuine wood trim runs along the dashboard and door panels to further enhance the luxurious experience. There’s also plenty of space for passengers thanks to generous headroom and legroom.
4. Loaded with Technology
Things get especially tempting when you look at the number of technologies available on the Avalon Hybrid. Coming standard on all hybrid models is Toyota’s easy-to-read, easy-to-use 9.0-inch infotainment touchscreen that provides Bluetooth, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Wi-Fi hotspot capability. You can also use the slick Remote Connect’s touch and voice commands to control door locks, start the engine, or locate the vehicle in crowded parking lots.
The Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS-P) technology suite features the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD) to help you avoid collisions by using automatic emergency braking and Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA) helps to safely keep your car in the right lane. This suite also includes an Automatic High Beam (AHB) system and adaptive cruise control with dynamic radar.
The Toyota Avalon Hybrid lets you efficiently cruise along in style with a wealth of luxurious options – it can’t be beaten when it comes to quality and styling! Come to Priority Toyota of Chesapeake today and see for yourself!
