Exterior Styling
The Avalon has the appearance of a thoroughbred, from its dramatic front end, through the sleek, sculpted profile, to the stylish rear-end design. The XLE trim offers a grille with chrome accents flanked by signature daytime running lights (DRL), LED headlights, and deep tangential air vents. Also featured are heated power mirrors, dual chrome-tipped exhaust, LED taillights, and 17-inch alloy wheels.
XSE models have black trim, black-painted 19-inch wheels, a rear spoiler, and quad chrome-tipped exhaust, while the all-new TRD adds to the sporty look with matte black wheels. The Touring trim features LED DRL and dynamic turn signals, while stepping up to the Limited gets you 18-inch chrome wheels. Hybrid-powered models offer unique styling cues.

Interior Design
The Avalon’s contemporary cabin is focused around passenger comfort and envelops you in upscale materials. Inside the XLE are dual-zone climate control, a 7-inch driver information center, a leather-bound steering wheel, faux leather upholstery, and heated power front seats.
The XSE trim features microsuede seat inserts and aluminum trim, while the TRD adds red seatbelts and unique upholstery with red stitching. Touring models offer a heads-up display, cooled and heated front seats, heated rear seats, and ambient lighting.

Engine Performance
Standard power is provided by a smooth and responsive 3.5-liter V-6 engine that delivers 301 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque and is paired with a seamlessly-changing eight-speed automatic transmission. The Avalon is the most powerful and efficient non-hybrid car in the Toyota lineup. It can take you from a standing start to 60 mph in just 6 seconds. The available paddle shifters enable slick manual gear shifts.
Hybrid models feature a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine teamed with electric motors to give a total output of 215 horsepower. The system is mated to a continuously variable transmission. While being extremely fuel-efficient, it can also accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 7.8 seconds. Whichever drivetrain you choose, you’re assured agile handling and a luxurious, refined ride.
