Vehicle Description
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
commutes 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. The Avalon
offers a long list of desirable standard features, including a V6
engine, leather upholstery, heated seats and several driver
assistance features. For such a large and roomy car, the Avalon
returns surprisingly good fuel economy. More impressive is that
this comes from a car with a large V6 engine that generates 268
horsepower and helps the car accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 6.5
seconds. TheXLEis well-equipped for a base trim and feels expertly
assembled. A 3.5-liter V6 engine (268 horsepower, 248 pound-feet of
torque) and six-speed automatic transmission come standard, as do
17-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, a
leather-wrapped tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, leather
upholstery, and heated and power-adjustable front seats. Additional
conveniences include keyless ignition and entry, a rearview camera,
Bluetooth, a 7-inch touchscreen with Toyota's Entune interface and
voice controls, and an eight-speaker audio system. Toyota's Safety
Sense package also comes standard and includes automatic high
beams, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning (with
pedestrian detection), automatic emergency braking, lane departure
warning and lane keeping assist.
