Car and Driver, when asked about the Toyota Avalon, said, “In the past, we’ve characterized this biggest of all Toyota passenger cars as more Buick than Buick. It was a tribute—if you can call it that—to the Avalon’s quiet, competent operation, anonymous styling, and generally unobtrusive character.”
The Avalon has been redesigned inside and out for 2013. Toyota has gone with a much sleeker look by changing the angles of the windows, shortening the overhangs on front and rear, and lowered the beltline. The weight has been taken down almost 120 pounds, despite the more expensive use of spot welding and increased high-strength steel in the frame. The Avalon boasts a 3.5L V6 with 268hp. The Hybrid has a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine with ECO and Sport modes.
Inside the car, leather seats are standard and the cabin is very spacious. From the instrument panel to the multiple touchscreen displays, luxury was in mind throughout the redesign of this Avalon. There is an upgraded JBL audio system and ambient lighting to boot. Safety features include a new “variable-ratio brake pedal” that varies initial and final pedal effort, 10 airbags, stability and traction control, pre-collision mitigation, and blind-spot monitor.
