The Toyota Avalon has become the standard bearer for full-size sedans by combining outstanding room and comfort with sport sedan performance and admirable fuel efficiency – including an EPA-estimated highway mileage rating of 31 mpg.

The Avalon is offered in four grades, the standard XL, the sporty Touring, the extremely well-equipped XLS and the top-of-the-line Limited, which compares well to near-luxury models for comfort and amenities. For 2007, the Touring trim level offers an optional navigation system, and all models gain a Tire Pressure Monitoring System.

From its inception, the Avalon has redefined the modern full-size sedan. The Avalon combines truly impressive interior room and comfort with powerful engine performance in a trim, contemporary package and offers a wide range of model and equipment choices.

The third-generation Avalon was designed at Calty Design Research in Newport Beach, Calif., developed by U.S.-based Toyota Technical Centers and is assembled at Toyota Motor Manufacturing in Georgetown, Ky.

Contemporary Design
Avalon exudes a powerful stance, distinguished by a sleek grille with chrome accented horizontal bars and subtle character lines defining a contemporary profile. The lower intake valance houses fog lamps on the Touring, XLS and Limited models, and the Touring model also features a rear spoiler.

Side mirrors on the Limited grade feature in-glass LED turn signals, and an LED puddle lamp illuminates the area along the side of the car when passengers approach the vehicle. The Limited grade also features side mirror memory. Touring and Limited grades feature high intensity discharge (HID) headlamps with dynamic automatic leveling for improved visibility, while reducing glare for oncoming traffic. Large tail lamps and an elegantly sculptured trunk distinguish the Avalon from the rear, and dual exhaust outlets add a sporty touch.

Avalon’s elegant exterior design is complemented by its refined interior. Excellent fit-and-finish is apparent throughout the cabin and contributes to its luxurious comfort. Rear passengers benefit from a flat rear floor that provides additional legroom and comfort, especially for the middle-seat passenger. The rear seats recline up to 10-degrees. Amenities for driver comfort include a tilt and telescopic steering column and a center console sliding armrest.
