2015 Toyota Avalon
The Avalon now duels with the equally excellent Chevy Impala for our interest. As well as with solid competitors from the similarity the Kia Cadenza, Hyundai Azera, as well as Ford Taurus, there's plenty of choice below. It looks fascinating, and it really feels extra dynamic, steering it in a more compelling direction with an aesthetically dramatic interior and a full dosage of sophisticated safety and security equipment. With its 2013 redesign, the Avalon was provided a wider focus, with the intention of increasing its appeal to a rather younger (40- to 60-year-old) group. So showcases no more are restricted to power devices and finer materials; you could now get several of one of the most innovative in-car user interfaces, as well.

Toyota took the current Avalon's design in a new direction, away from the common Camry and even the firm's even more glamorous however solemn Lexus designs. Rather, it looks all its very own, with a swoopy roofline, flared-out rear fenders, and a nearly hatchback seek to the back glass that all give it presence where there was none to be had in previous generations.
Inside is an additional surprise, a thoroughly modern-day instrument-panel layout, and its flush, capacitive (touch-based) dash switches-- a function that cleans up the look, and also does away with physical buttons. Cabin products are exceptional, with great, matching grains and also surfaces, as well as a complete organization over those in the smaller Camry.
The 2015 Avalon is provided with two various powertrains. V-6 designs, with a strong, smooth 268-horsepower, 3.5-liter, are still expected to make up most sales; yet it's the Avalon Crossbreed that seems one of the most compelling, not only for its remarkably receptive performance, but also for a level of improvement that may even deceive some standard Avalon consumers. With an internet of 200 horsepower from its lean Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder, teamed with nickel-metal-hydride batteries and also two electric motors tucked in the transaxle, the Avalon Hybrid can get to 60 miles per hour in just (cautiously) 8.2 seconds. Have a look at the window sticker of the Hybrid, however-- an amazing 40 mpg city, 39 highway (40 Incorporated)-- and you might be willing to handle a little much less power.
The surprise is that you get almost the very same driving experience with the Crossbreed. Both powertrains are quicker and also much more responsive compared to the outgoing design's only V-6, and also this most recent Avalon feels more composed as well as fine-tuned. We would not call it stylish, yet it's supremely qualified and manageable in such a way that the Avalon hasn't been in the past. There's power chicken you need it, and also a wonderful ride at all times.
The Avalon feels very roomy, contemporary and extravagant, with first-class materials, thoughtful information and also comfortable seats. The front seats could utilize a little bit more side support, yet they're supportive for the back as well as upholstered in impressive, flexible natural leather, with real sewing-- and also aerated premium leather in Minimal versions. The rears are amongst the most effective we've tested in a larger sedan-- contoured well for adults as well as with relatively long reduced paddings to provide thigh assistance. The Avalon gets a 16-cubic-foot trunk, and with a flat flooring as well as wide opening, you could fit a great deal of grocery store bags. Hybrid models have a slightly smaller 14-cubic-foot trunk, but the lost area is a small sacrifice for the efficiency gains.
The Avalon provides a strong listing of safety functions, including separate rear side-thorax air bags and also front knee bags, and also crash-test ratings have actually been practically perfect across the board. A Rear Cross Traffic Alert system, which utilizes sensors in the rear quarter panels to help detect cars as they approach from the side as well as behind the car, is extremely efficient for those who should support with restricted views. All models feature a backup cam system, while a Blind Spot Screen is now conventional on the Avalon XLE Touring and Avalon Crossbreed XLE Touring designs as of 2015.
All Avalons come fully equipped with lots of comfort functions, while the state-of-the-art Minimal models are optioned up like a Lexus. Leading Minimal versions set you back around $40k yet are luxury cars by the equipment list, with all the safety systems, perforated leather upholstery, heated-and-ventilated pole positions, warmed rear seats, three-zone automatic environment control, a rear sunshade, 785-watt JBL Audio, HID headlamps, and LED daytime running lights. Include the Tech Plan, with Adaptive Cruise Control, a Pre-Collision System, and Automatic High Beams.
As discussed above, the Crossbreed version is the fuel-economy leader of the schedule. 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 quantity and sort of driving you do, naturally, but the Hybrid isn't really much of an extra charge, and we think you could deal with its moderate power pretty quickly.
Other adjustments for 2015 include the enhancement of a Touring Sport Edition-- primarily a look plan with a black inside and blue interior, 18-inch wheels, HID headlights-- thinned out chrome trim for the inside, and paddle shifters and also the different drive settings (Sport, Typical, Eco) are now typical on all V-6 models.
