2016 Toyota Avalon
The Avalon is additionally a satisfying car to drive in its newest kind. In 2013 Toyota put the Avalon via a significant design change, and also it emerged much better in nearly every way. Indoor area was down slightly, however the Avalon now vies with the Chevy Impala as one of our top-rated large sedans. It's streamlined and also neatly styled, it really feels a lot more lively, and has a spirituous dosage of safety tools-- and gets a little bit even more of each of those for the 2016 version year, in a moderate update.

In 2013, the Avalon stepped out of its rut and also took a much more shapely kind, one with more aesthetic distance from the Camry. The swoopy roofline, flared-out back fenders, and the laid-back back glass provided it presence where there was none to be had in previous generations. That all continues to be in place for 2016, with some tweaks and also modifications here and there. This year, the Avalon's grille grows larger, rejecting the corners of its mouth to add some zest to the front end. Slim running lights and also turn signals don't alter any steel-- as well as barely change its look, reality be told. LED taillights are conventional across all models.
Inside, the Avalon's modern design and also look still puts on flush, touch-based dash switches over for a tidy, high-end-audio look. A central touchscreen is currently typical on all models. Cabin products are excellent, with good, matching grains and surfaces.
As it's been for a number of years, the Avalon is supplied with a choice in between 2 powertrains. A strong as well as smooth 268-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 is by far the extra common choice, however it's the Avalon Crossbreed that earns our interest, incorporating improvement and receptive performance. With an internet of 200 hp from its combination of electric motors, batteries, and also an inline-4, the Avalon Crossbreed can get to 60 miles per hour in (cautiously) 8.2 secs while it drinks gas at a phenomenal 40 mpg integrated rate, according to the EPA.
This most current Avalon really feels much more composed and refined, also. We would not call it stylish, however it's struck us as very qualified and also manageable in such a way that older versions weren't. This year, the Touring version obtains its very own suspension adjusting-- we'll allow you understand if stronger and also flatter fits its personality once we have actually taken one for a spin.
Absolutely nothing's been trimmed or altered in terms of cabin area, which's penalty. The Avalon is roomy, contemporary as well as thoughtfully composed. The pole positions can utilize a little bit a lot more lateral support, but the rears are amongst the best you could find in big cars. The Avalon obtains a 16-cubic-foot trunk, and also with a flat flooring as well as vast opening, you could fit a great deal of grocery bags. Hybrid designs have a slightly smaller sized 14-cubic-foot trunk, however the lost space is a little sacrifice for the effectiveness gains.
The Avalon uses a strong list of safety and security features, including different rear side-thorax air bags and front knee bags, as well as crash-test rankings have actually been almost perfect across the board. All models include a backup camera system, while blind-spot screens are conventional on Visiting models. Limited cars can be fitted with automatic fronts lights, adaptive cruise ship control, a forward-collision warning system, and also a lane-departure caution system.
All Avalons come well-appointed with plenty of convenience functions, while the top-of-the-line Limited versions are optioned up like a Lexus. For 2016, the V-6 Avalon will certainly be offered in 5 trim levels-- three grades of XLE, Limited, and Touring. For the Avalon Hybrid, the choices are restricted to XLE and also Touring. The suspension has actually been retuned for 2016 on all designs, with the XLE and Limited variations getting a comfort-oriented setup and the Exploring getting its own one-of-a-kind stylish calibration.
All versions now have a seven-inch touchscreen to regulate the audio system, and individual-wheel tire-pressure monitors. XLE as well as XLE And also models get woodgrain trim, while XLE Costs models obtain navigating and also Qi wireless mobile phone billing.
Touring versions obtain grey 18-inch wheels, a special front-fascia design, and LED fronts lights as well as daytime running lights. Top Restricted designs overdo the premium tack, with perforated leather upholstery, heated-and-ventilated pole positions, warmed back seats, three-zone automated environment control, a back sunshade, 785-watt JBL sound, HID headlamps, and also LED daytime running lights.
The EPA prices the V-6 Avalon at 21 mpg city, 31 highway, 24 incorporated. That coincides ranking it got in 2015 which's much better than some designs with this level of space, convenience, and also power, as well as implemented by the Avalon's fat burning and somewhat taller tailoring for the 6-speed automatic transmission. The Avalon Hybrid's EPA ratings of 40/39/40 mpg make it among the most fuel-efficient large cars in any driving scenario, and also definitely one of the most reliable for city driving as well as stop-and-go traffic.
