2018 Toyota Avalon Reviews

My car is the best and I am very satisfied with its performance. As a piece of sculpture, the new Avalon is flat-out gorgeous. Designed at Toyota’s calty studio—a leap across Ann Arbor, Michigan, from car and driver’s offices—it’s an inch lower than the outgoing Avalon with a 2.0-inch-longer wheelbase and shortened overhangs. The roofline is a single swoop from the noticeably lower cowl across to the trunk. In silhouette, the Avalon is a knockout.

Dynamic, reaching speeds of 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds!. Reverse camera, front parking sensors, rear cup holders, front vision camera, voice recognition and sports instruments. It has front and rear power windows, premium sound system, leather steering wheel and USB audio input. You can relax, this car also has park assist. It is dynamic, exciting and a pleasure to drive. It has speed dependant volume stereo, led tail lamps and remote central locking. This car has launch control, keyless start, selectable driving mode, side vision camera and sports pedals.

Combining comfort, quality and impressive fuel economy, the 2018 Toyota Avalon ranks among the best large sedans on the market. A cushioned ride and hushed cabin make the Avalon well-suited for commuters and road trips, and its roomy interior offers plenty of room to spread out. It even offers a dash of speed and performance that befits its mission as a deluxe daily shuttle. Starting with a well-equipped base model, the Avalon offers a long list of desirable standard features, including a v6 engine, leather upholstery, heated seats and several driver assistance features. From there you can opt into progressively more full-featured models with navigation, enhanced audio and luxury creature comforts such as heated rear seats, upgraded leather and rear-seat climate controls.

The Toyota Avalon is a car that you can keep in your family for many years to come. It has an excellent track record of being dependable. You can travel across the country without fearing a breakdown. All of the key components are engineered to withstand the test of time. A low cost of maintenance also makes the Avalon a great option. Although the Avalon is classified as a large sedan, it can easily match the fuel efficiency of a smaller car. The Avalon is rated to return 21 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. Many drivers have actually achieved even better gas mileage in the real world. Fortunately, Toyota tuned the Avalon to burn regular unleaded fuel. Toyota Avalon XLE looks stylish enough for most drivers. However, a number of other appearance upgrades are found on the higher trim levels. Led headlights and tail lamps transform the Avalon into a sportier-looking ride. Larger wheels also give the sedan a more athletic stance.

Great gas mileage and it uses regular gas. Very inexpensive to drive comfortable to drive. Seats are adjustable and suited well for long trip comfort. Love the auto high beams. Great. Pick up for passing cruise control has auto slow down when approaching a another vehicle. Wish it had blind spot indicator for changing lanes. Wish it had steering wheel heater. Wish it had rear window blind. Wish it had close button in trunk. Mid for soft auto closure.

After having tried out many hybrids last year, it came down to a 2019 Avalon or the outgoing 2018 at considerable cheaper price point. I test drove these 2 cars for a lengthy trip and scored 46 versus 42 respectively. The math didn't justify the 4 mpg extra against the price difference and so I scored a new 2018 for a fine price. After one year an 14K miles, I rate it 4 out of 5. Good points are general comfort, easy to beat EPA fuel economy, reasonably powerful, standard safety features, respectable car in the corporate world to travel with a business associate or client and excellent track record on reliability (the 2019 of course had to prove itself, though it seems like that car is equally solid, but ground clearance on the 2019 is slightly less than on the 2018). Few negatives? The 9 speaker stereo is ok at best, not bad but for an audiophile, look further. Numbers don't tell the truth because my 6 speaker upgrade in my old Camry was no worse, if not better for bass songs. When I drive my Avalon in subdivisions, where road unevenness is usually common, I find my Avalon to be less comfortable than I was hoping for. I recently test drove a new ES350 and though on the highway and other inner roads, I didn't find much difference in comfort with my car, but in my own subdivision I found the ES to be much better absorbing the roughness of the road. I sometimes wonder if I should have checked out the outgoing 2018 ES hybrid, but that car was quite more expensive. Anyway, will see how long I will keep my car. I would certainly recommend the car if you don't have Indy500 driving habits. A cool demeanor behind an Avalon's wheel is a golden combination.

I absolutely adore our Avalon limited hybrid. The thrill we get from checking the gas consumption and seeing 42 to 47 mph on any length trip is awesome. The electric portion of the hybrid clicks in so softly it is hard to tell whether the car is running. The ride is superb - smooth and comfortable. The luxurious interior is amazing, gorgeous to see, and it rides like a dream. We 'sense' the Toyota execs are doing wonderful improvements for the 2020 hybrid version and we look forward to seeing the new 2020 asap. We have no intention of buying any other car other than the Avalon hybrid in the future.

Check engine light, when this happens, it is best you bring your ride to a professional mechanic asap. That is because blinking indicates that a major issue in your car occurred. Engine misfires are some of the most common culprits behind blinking or flashing check engine lights. This often occurs when unburned fuel enters a vehicle’s exhaust system. That light on your dashboard flashes to tell you that your catalytic converter may be in serious cataclysm.

Two complaints. It's smaller than my old Avalon. And the voice control is terrible. It's not like Alexa or Siri. It rarely gets your commands. It is terribly frustrating and not very useful. Otherwise, car reliability and performance features are great. I love the safety features like additional airbags and blind spot notifications. I love the cruise control that slows down automatically when traffic ahead slows down. I like the beep when you don't signal or get out of your lane. Any heated seats are comfortable even in the summertime with the air conditioner on, feels like a heating pad. Air conditioning is quick. And temperature control is easy. I would rather have a full sized spare tire as opposed to the little donut. Handles well. I like the eco mode since it saves gas.

This is a good car because it serves well. It is very comfortable for me my family. The performance of the car is also very remarkable because it concede one liter diesel for around 20 kilometers. So it is very good. On the other hand it produces around 148 bhp which is pretty good in my opinion. It has all the same features like the other XLE but not the same as the supercar. It is very reliable for me. I can always have a smooth drive with it. I have not seen any big problem of it.

Overall I really do love my car. The seats are extremely comfortable. And there is a lot of leg space in the front seats. In the back there is also a great deal of leg space. The speakers in the car are really great as well. The one thing about the car is that my daughter is learning to drive and the car is hard to control for new drivers. The gas pedal is pretty temperamental so if someone is not experienced they could press the gas too hard and the car will become out of control.
