.Above-average fuel economy, large trunk.
I love my car very much. I feel very much comfortable with my car. I really enjoyed my last Avalon-the mail reason for a new Avalon was the safety controls-rear view camera, navigation system-lane changing warnings, have all the safety bells and whistles-like them-be changing! Very spacious, has a very quiet smooth riding and accelerating engine, comfortable seats-the main complaint is being able to close the door-it opens wide-good very reliable spacious comfortable safe car-the instrument panel is the week point-illogically placed small letters hard to read, the heavy doors are very difficult to close from inside-why do not you put a strap!

The Responsiveness of the Engine. The Safety of the interior
I just like the Responsiveness of the engine. The dealership is close to my home, which is good for Service & repair. I DID NOT finance. I paid in full.

Toyota Avalon luxury brand.
The 2020 Toyota Avalon is a good choice in the large car class. It has a punchy v6 engine, surefooted handling, and a supple ride. The Avalon also piles on the advanced safety features. The first, and arguably, the most striking difference between the two models is their variation in size. Though both seat five passengers, the Avalon is larger than the Camry.

Best riding experience with a comfortable long journey.
It's performance is so good, this is very comfortable and I really feel great to drive it. It has most update features that's why it's experience is so well. Especially my wife like that car so much for its own unique design.. We had some very big journey with this car and we all were so happy to ride this car.

Love the Avalon hybrid. Great for long trips.
Avalon hybrid is very comfortable for long trips, excellent mpg. Handles very well on curvy, bumpy roads. We've taken cross country trips in it and have been very happy and satisfied with it.

Sound system is the bomb. Friends loved it.
Plenty of standard advanced safety features and is potent. Its offer comfort, good amenities, safety controls, review camera, quiet engine. The sound system is clear and loud just how I like it. Seats are comfortable. Overall just a wonderful luxury car with a great price point.

Good gas mileage. Rear screen if sunshine comes through the rear window.
I love the safety features of my car such as the steering feature whereas the wheel will alert you if you go over the yellow line. Beeps will alert you when a car or individual is coming from the left or right when the gear shift is in reverse. There are several others.

Nice size luxe like sedan.
Toyota is a brand that can be trusted. He car is very reliable, drives well, fairly comfortable with a splash of luxe. It handles well and with great tires it drives smoothly. It is not my dream car but fairly happy with it in the meantime. I like package but not too happy with armrest it is peeling already.

Very comfortable vehicle that is not only good looking and fun to drive but very roomy. In addition there is plenty of interior room and sufficient storage space. Technology is superior for the cost and safety feature enhance the driving experience and level of safety.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Gene S.

Very luxurious, great fuel efficiency and overall very technologically advanced. Plenty of room for everything my family wants to bring along and has an appearance that places it at the top among luxury vehicles in its class.

likeFilled Temi O.

The car drives smoothly and the maintenance is very low, the car has an all wheel drive mode and is very fuel efficient. The ergonomics are innovative and the v6 engine is powerful with a special innovative silent muffler.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Gene S.

There are no cons whatsoever. I cannot think of one single thing that is a detriment regarding this vehicle. It drives like no other vehicle I have ever driven and stands out in a crowd as one of the most luxurious vehicles on the road today. There is no other vehicle that even slightly compares.

dislikeFilled Temi O.

It has a good ground clearance, the v6 engine is powerful and fuel efficient, the swiveling headlamps makes driving easy, the lightness and ground stability makes taking sharp bends easy even at relatively high speeds.
