Toyota’s Avalon has been a popular vehicle since it’s inception, taking on the already flooded full-sized sedan market and carving out a niche for itself. The 2017 model takes this dependable legacy and builds on it, thrilling loyal customers and winning new fans. We’ve listed our top five things you’ll adore about the 2017 Avalon to get you excited about this fantastic vehicle.
Comfort
If there’s anything that can be said about the 2017 Avalon it’s that it’s insanely comfortable. With deep comfortable seats that are at once plush and supportive, long trips are a breeze. Neither driver nor passenger should feel cramped or uncomfortable, no matter where they’re sitting in the cabin.
All of the 2017 Avalon trims come with buttery soft leather, a definite improvement over scratchy upholstery seats. The front seats come standard with heating for those chilly winter months and, for drivers who regularly have backseat passengers, there are optional rear row warmers for a luxurious backseat experience.
Styling
The 2017 Avalon has a wide, aggressively styled grille, which is often the first thing viewers notice about this vehicle. Newly styled for 2017, the body lines of the Avalon are consistent with auto trends. Curving wheel wells add a streamlined appearance while the overall design of the vehicle manages to merge aerodynamic sleekness while still staying an elegant yet uniquely stylized sedan.
Ride
As a full-sized sedan, the Avalon manages to use its weight to its advantage. The Avalon’s ride is incredibly smooth. A perfectly tuned suspension keeps the car hugging the road on tight turns. Its steering system is tight enough to perform beautifully in both the city and on the highway, while still maintaining a comfortably weighted feel.
Another positive for the Avalon’s ride is how quiet the cabin remains, even at top highway speeds. Special engineering keeps the acoustics to a minimum for an improved ride experience.
Power
The Avalon is powered by a V6 engine that gets a whopping 268 horsepower. This massive engine is sure to impress both commuters and speed junkies alike. This additional power makes navigating all driving conditions easier than ever since the Avalon has impressive pickup.
Despite its large engine, the Avalon still gets a respectable fuel economy. The vehicle can get up to 21 miles to the gallon in the city and 30 on the highway, which is impressive for its class and size of vehicle.
Technology
A 7-inch touchscreen comes standard with every 2017 Avalon model. This screen is equipped with Toyota’s excellent Entune interface, which keeps all the vehicle’s information and entertainment just a finger touch away, not to mention the navigation system. The screen is expertly fitted into the dashboard to create a streamlined and intuitive layout.
Besides this infotainment system, the 2017 Avalon also has Bluetooth for handsfree calls and a voice control system. The vehicle also features some impressive safety technology such as adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warnings, lane-departure warnings with intervention, and automatic pre-collision braking.
These are just five of the reasons you’ll love the new 2017 Avalon, but to see what really impresses you, go test drive one and see what makes this one of the most exciting sedans of 2017.
