To put it simply, the Avalon was previously an also-ran; now it duels with the Impala for the attention. And with strong competition. The brand new Avalon looks interesting, and feels more vibrant, and steers into a more compelling direction having a visually dramatic interior and a full dosage of high-tech safety equipment. So much for that anonymous look of the current Camry;
Toyota smartly pushed the Avalon inside a new direction, styling-wise, and shows that, inside bounds, a car can be practical and comfortable without towing this type of relentlessly conservative line on styling. Taking the step back, the exterior of the brand new Avalon really lures you in; and thinking about the history of this model, that's saying a great deal. There's a lot to like in the actual graceful, flowing roofline, and the way the belt line arcs, as well as the unexpected punch in the rear fenders.
Nothing in the new Avalon says farewell towards the status quo more than the thoroughly contemporary instrument-panel layout, and its flush, capacitive (touch-based) dash switches a feature that cleans in the look, and does away with physical control keys. The cabin materials are superb, nice with matching grains and surfaces, and also a complete league above those in the Camry.
How a 2018 Toyota Avalon drives is what will keep this model a standout for a while. V-6 models, with a strong, smooth 268-horsepower, 3.5-liter, continue to be expected to make up most sales; but it is the multiple Avalon Hybrid models in the lineup that seem probably the most compelling, not only for their surprisingly receptive performance, but for their level of refinement that may even fool some traditional Avalon shoppers.
Having a net of 200 horsepower, altogether, from it's lean Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder, with nickel-metal-hydride batteries and two motors tucked within the transaxle, the Avalon Hybrid can get to 60 mph in only (conservatively) 8.2 seconds. Take a consider the window sticker of the Hybrid, though a extraordinary 40 mpg city, 39 highway (40 Combined) and you may be willing to deal with a little much less power.
And the rather shocking surprise here is that you will get nearly the same driving experience with the actual Hybrid. Both models are quicker and much more responsive, if feeling far more composed and refined when compared to outgoing model.
The Avalon feels extremely roomy, modern as well as luxurious, with top-notch materials, thoughtful details as well as comfortable seats. Front seats could use a bit more lateral support, but they're supportive for the rear and upholstered in impressive, supple leather, along with real stitching and ventilated premium leather in Restricted models.
The back seats are among the very best we've sampled in a larger sedan contoured well for adults with relatively long lower cushions to provide leg support. The new Avalon gets a 16-cubic-foot trunk area, and with a flat floor and broad opening, you can fit a lot associated with grocery bags. Hybrid models have a somewhat smaller 14-cubic-foot trunk, but it's a small sacrifice for your model's gains.
The Avalon offers a strong listing of safety feature and including separate rear side-thorax airbags as well as front knee bags, the crash-test ratings happen to be almost perfect across the board. A Back Cross Traffic Alert system, which uses sensors within the rear quarter panels to help detect vehicles because they approach from the side and behind the automobile, is very effective for those who have to back up with restricted views. All models come with a backup digital camera system while a Blind Spot Monitor has become optional equipment on the Avalon XLE Visiting and Avalon Hybrid XLE Touring models.
Along with last year's redesign, Toyota gave the Avalon the wider focus, expanding its appeal (hopefully) to some somewhat younger (40 to 60 year old) group. So features no longer are limited in order to power accessories and finer materials; you can now get probably the most advanced in-car interfaces, too. The 2018 Toyota Avalon remains available in XLE, XLE Premium, XLE Visiting, and XLE Limited models with Hybrid counterparts to any or all but the base XLE trim.
Across the model line, you'll find a comfortable and incredibly well-equipped large sedan; and top-of-the-line Limited models are full-fledged luxury sedans in most but badging. Top Limited models cost around $40k but are luxury vehicles through the equipment list, with a Blind Spot keep track of with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, perforated leather-based upholstery, heated-and-ventilated front seats, heated rear chairs, three-zone automatic climate control, a rear sunshade, 785-watt JBL Sound, HID headlamps, and LED daytime running lights. Add the Tech Package, with Adaptive Luxury cruise Control, a Pre-Collision System, and Automatic Higher Beams.
