2015 Toyota Avalon
The Avalon now battles with the similarly remarkable Chevy Impala for our attention. As well as with solid competitors from the similarity the Kia Cadenza, Hyundai Azera, and Ford Taurus, there's plenty of selection here. It looks fascinating, as well as it really feels extra lively, guiding it in a more compelling direction with a visually dramatic interior and a complete dosage of high-tech safety equipment. With its 2013 redesign, the Avalon was offered a bigger focus, with the purpose of increasing its interest a somewhat younger (40- to 60-year-old) crowd. So includes no longer are restricted to power accessories as well as finer materials; you could now obtain several of the most advanced in-car interfaces, as well.

Toyota took the most up to date Avalon's style in a new instructions, far from the common Camry as well as the firm's even more glamorous however somber Lexus layouts. Rather, it takes a look all its very own, with a swoopy roofline, flared-out back fenders, as well as a virtually hatchback seek to the rear glass that all offer it presence where there was none to be had in previous generations.
Inside is another surprise, an extensively modern-day instrument-panel layout, as well as its flush, capacitive (touch-based) rush switches-- a feature that cleans up the look, and also does away with physical switches. Cabin products are excellent, with good, matching grains and also surface areas, and also a full league over those in the smaller Camry.
The 2015 Avalon is used with two different powertrains. V-6 designs, with a strong, smooth 268-horsepower, 3.5-liter, are still anticipated making up most sales; but it's the Avalon Crossbreed that appears the most engaging, not just for its surprisingly responsive performance, however, for a level of improvement that could also deceive some traditional Avalon buyers. With a net of 200 horsepower from its lean Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder, teamed with nickel-metal-hydride batteries and also 2 motors tucked in the transaxle, the Avalon Crossbreed could reach 60 mph in just (cautiously) 8.2 secs. Take a look at the window sticker of the Hybrid, though-- an extraordinary 40 mpg city, 39 freeway (40 Combined)-- and also you could be willing to manage a little much less power.
The shock is that you obtain nearly the same driving experience with the Hybrid. Both powertrains are quicker and also a lot more receptive compared to the outgoing model's only V-6, and this newest Avalon feels much more made up and also improved. We would not call it sporty, however it's very capable and controllable in such a way that the Avalon hasn't already been in the past. There's power chicken you need it, and a good ride constantly.
The Avalon really feels extremely roomy, modern and luxurious, with top-notch materials, thoughtful details as well as comfy seats. The front seats might use a little more side support, but they're helpful for the back and upholstered in excellent, flexible natural leather, with actual sewing-- as well as aerated costs natural leather in Restricted designs. The rears are among the very best we've sampled in a bigger sedan-- contoured well for adults as well as with relatively long reduced cushions to offer thigh assistance. The Avalon gets a 16-cubic-foot trunk, and with a level floor and wide opening, you can fit a great deal of grocery bags. Hybrid versions have a somewhat smaller 14-cubic-foot trunk, however the lost space is a little sacrifice for the performance gains.
The Avalon offers a solid listing of safety and security features, consisting of separate back side-thorax air bags and also front knee bags, as well as crash-test scores have been virtually best across the board. A Back Cross Web traffic Alert system, which makes use of sensing units in the rear quarter panels to help detect vehicles as they come close to from the side and also behind the lorry, is very efficient for those that should back up with limited sights. All designs have a back-up cam system, while a Blind Spot Display is now basic on the Avalon XLE Touring and Avalon Hybrid XLE Touring models since 2015.
All Avalons come well-equipped with lots of convenience features, while the top-of-the-line Limited models are optioned up like a Lexus. Top Restricted models cost around $40k but are luxury vehicles by the tools listing, with all the security systems, perforated natural leather upholstery, heated-and-ventilated pole positions, warmed back seats, three-zone automatic environment control, a back sunshade, 785-watt JBL Sound, HID headlamps, and also LED daytime running lamps. Include the Tech Package, with Flexible Cruise Ship Control, a Pre-Collision System, as well as Automatic High Beams.
As mentioned above, the Crossbreed model is the fuel-economy leader of the lineup. The V-6 is no slouch itself, returning 21 mpg in city driving and 31 on the freeway. Which one is right for you will certainly depend on the amount and kind of driving you do, certainly, however the Hybrid isn't really much of an additional cost, and also we believe you can deal with its modest power very quickly.
Other adjustments for 2015 consist of the addition of a Touring Sport Version-- basically a look plan with a black inside and also blue interior, 18-inch wheels, HID headlights-- weakened chrome trim for the interior, and paddle shifters as well as the various drive settings (Sport, Normal, Eco) are currently conventional on all V-6 designs.
