2020 Toyota Avalon

Avalon has been designed to be smarter and more rewarding. By taking advantage of the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform, engineers have been able to deliver a higher level of both handling and ride comfort.

The Avalon is available in five trim models: XLE, Limited, XSE, TRD, and Touring. The XLE includes LED headlights and keyless entry with ignition technology. The Limited adds a sunroof. On the sports-themed XSE, you'll also find a sunroof as well as a rear spoiler, 19-inch wheels, and black exterior trim. The new TRD trim is even sportier, adding aerodynamic elements, matte black wheels, and a sport exhaust. The luxurious Touring and Limited trims feature an adaptive suspension with Active Noise Cancellation, taking your on-road comfort to the next level.

Every 2020 Avalon is equipped with a 3.5-liter V-6 engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. With 301 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque, you'll be up to speed in a snap. The powertrain performs flawlessly with generous output alongside the automatic transmission, which is quick to respond to your requests for more power.

This full-size sedan supplies impressive athleticism. Its potent V-6 engine has the power you need to merge onto highways and pass slower traffic with confidence. The sporty and adept handling allows you to travel winding mountain paths with skill and ease. Of course, the Avalon also emphasizes comfort. The suspension effortlessly soaks up bumps in the road, putting an easygoing touch on a capable ride. For drivers who want a nimbler performance, the sporty XSE trim adds a sport-tuned suspension and paddle shifters. The new TRD trim is even more capable and features upgraded brakes and sportier suspension tuning.

Inside, the 2020 Avalon offers generous passenger space and soft, supportive seating. Its rich interior comfort makes it an excellent option for families. The Avalon is fitted with heated front seats, a 9-inch touch screen, and complete smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The leather upholstery, standard on the Limited trim and up, makes you feel like you've spent much more money than you did, and the sporty XSE adds stylish microsuede seat inserts. Inside the TRD, you'll find contemporary red seat belts and unique accent stitching. The top-trim Touring also includes microsuede seating inserts for classy comfort.

Driver and passenger protection is a big deal for Toyota, which is why every Avalon model comes standard with the Safety Connect emergency communications system and the Safety Sense bundle of driver aids. Safety Connect is on your side when the unforeseen happens, sending roadside assistance or emergency services if you need them. Safety Sense includes high-tech features like Pre-Collision Warning with Pedestrian Detection, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Departure Alert. It also includes the new Road Sign Assist system, which detects a range of road signs like speed limit, stop, and do not enter, and displays them on the multi-information driver display.
