2015 Toyota Avalon
The Avalon currently duels with the similarly remarkable Chevy Impala for our focus. As well as with solid competitors from the likes of the Kia Cadenza, Hyundai Azera, and also Ford Taurus, there's lots of selection below. It looks fascinating, and it really feels more dynamic, guiding it in an extra engaging direction with a visually remarkable interior and also a full dose of sophisticated security equipment. With its 2013 redesign, the Avalon was provided a bigger emphasis, with the intent of broadening its interest a somewhat younger (40- to 60-year-old) crowd. So showcases not are restricted to power devices and finer materials; you could currently get a few of one of the most advanced in-car interfaces, as well.

Toyota took the most recent Avalon's design in a brand-new direction, away from the common Camry or even the company's more lavish however solemn Lexus layouts. Instead, it looks all its very own, with a swoopy roofline, flared-out back fenders, and a nearly hatchback look to the back glass that give it presence where there was none to be had in previous generations.
Inside is another shock, an extensively contemporary instrument-panel format, and also its flush, capacitive (touch-based) rush switches-- a function that tidies up the appearance, and also does away with physical switches. Cabin materials are exceptional, with good, matching grains and surfaces, and also a complete organization over those in the smaller Camry.
The 2015 Avalon is offered with 2 different powertrains. V-6 designs, with a strong, smooth 268-horsepower, 3.5-liter, are still expected making up most sales; however it's the Avalon Crossbreed that seems the most compelling, not only for its surprisingly receptive efficiency, but also for a level of refinement that might even trick some traditional Avalon shoppers. With an internet of 200 horsepower from its lean Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder, teamed with nickel-metal-hydride batteries and also two motors tucked in the transaxle, the Avalon Crossbreed can reach 60 miles per hour in just (cautiously) 8.2 seconds. Have a look at the home window sticker of the Crossbreed, however-- a sensational 40 mpg city, 39 highway (40 Combined)-- and you may be ready to take care of a little much less power.
The surprise is that you get nearly the exact same driving experience with the Crossbreed. Both powertrains are quicker and also a lot more responsive compared to the outbound model's lone V-6, as well as this most current Avalon feels much more composed as well as improved. We wouldn't call it sporty, but it's supremely capable as well as manageable in a manner that the Avalon hasn't been in the past. There's power chicken you need it, and a great trip at all times.
The Avalon really feels incredibly spacious, modern as well as glamorous, with first-class materials, thoughtful details and comfortable seats. The front seats could make use of a little extra lateral assistance, yet they're encouraging for the back and also upholstered in outstanding, supple natural leather, with genuine sewing-- and also ventilated costs natural leather in Restricted designs. The back seats are among the best we have actually sampled in a larger car-- contoured well for adults and with reasonably long lower pillows to give upper leg assistance. The Avalon obtains a 16-cubic-foot trunk, as well as with a flat floor and also vast opening, you could fit a great deal of grocery bags. Hybrid versions have a slightly smaller 14-cubic-foot trunk, yet the lost space is a little sacrifice for the efficiency gains.
The Avalon provides a strong list of security functions, consisting of different rear side-thorax air bags and front knee bags, and crash-test scores have actually been almost perfect across the board. A Rear Cross Traffic Alert system, which utilizes sensors in the rear quarter panels to help spot vehicles as they come close to from the side and behind the vehicle, is extremely effective for those that should support with restricted sights. All models include a backup video camera system, while a Dead Spot Display is currently conventional on the Avalon XLE Touring and also Avalon Crossbreed XLE Touring designs as of 2015.
All Avalons come well-appointed with lots of convenience functions, while the top-of-the-line Restricted versions are optioned up like a Lexus. Top Minimal designs set you back around $40k however are luxury vehicles by the equipment checklist, with all the safety and security systems, perforated leather upholstery, heated-and-ventilated pole positions, heated rear seats, three-zone automatic climate control, a rear sunshade, 785-watt JBL Audio, HID headlamps, as well as LED daytime running lamps. Add the Technology Bundle, with Flexible Cruise Ship Control, a Pre-Collision System, and also Automatic High Beams.
As pointed out over, the Hybrid version is the fuel-economy leader of the schedule. The V-6 is no slouch itself, returning 21 mpg in city driving as well as 31 on the freeway. Which one is right for you will depend upon the quantity as well as sort of driving you do, naturally, however the Hybrid isn't really much of an additional cost, as well as we think you can live with its moderate power pretty quickly.
Various other modifications for 2015 include the addition of a Touring Sport Version-- generally an appearance plan with a black interior and blue inside, 18-inch wheels, HID headlights-- weakened chrome trim for the inside, and paddle shifters and the different drive modes (Sporting activity, Typical, Eco) are currently basic on all V-6 versions.
