2019 Toyota Avalon Review
Coming to Toyota showrooms later this spring is an all-new Avalon like never before. Much in the same way that the redesigned Camry is far more emotive, the 2019 Avalon is introducing a level of pizzazz never before seen in Toyota’s flagship sedan. Longer, lower and wider than before, the Avalon is a premium midsize sedan built upon an entirely new architecture with dimensions similar to that of its Camry platform mate. Toyota is heavily promoting the never-before-accomplished stamping methods which allowed designers to pursue their philosophy of Technical Beauty permeating the Avalon’s body lines. Though specifics have yet to be released, Toyota says the new 3.5-liter V6 and 2.5-liter 4-cylinder hybrid powertrain offer more power and miles per gallon. An all-new 8-speed automatic transmission powers the front wheels on V6 models while a CVT is used for the Hybrid, which by the way has had it battery pack relocated to under the rear seat, no longer taking up space in the trunk. Higher level XSE and Touring trims offer paddle shifters with downshift rev matching for a more thrilling experience. Even the all-new Hybrid System gets with the Avalon’s sporty program with the inclusion of a Sport drive mode and the ability to shift 6 simulated gears of the CVT. Furthering the extensive makeover, there’s an Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS), Intake Sound Generator (ISG), grade-specific exhaust baffle tuning, Active Noise Control (ANC), and Engine Sound Enhancement (ESE) all aimed at a more evocative drive. A more comprehensive four-level drive mode selector includes Eco, Normal, Sport/ Sport+, and Custom settings depending on trim. The Avalon Touring’s standard Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) – a Toyota first - provides real-time damping control to limit body movements, while at the same time absorbing rough road undulations for a comfortable, flat ride. Inside, more premium materials, high end sound systems and new infotainment ratchet up the luxury and finally, Toyota introduces Apple CarPlay to the Entune 3.0 system, including a WiFi hotspot, wireless charging, and Smartwatch and Amazon Alexa integration. Pricing will be announced closer to launch for the 4 available grades: the athletic XSE and Touring and the more opulent XLE and Limited. Hybrid grades include XLE, Limited and XSE.
