The Avalon is getting a complete makeover for 2014. Planned, designed and built in the United States, this full-size sedan looks less conservative than the old generation and it has some of the traits normally associated with the Lexus luxury division. The vehicle is made more dynamic by its front end, tail end and contoured roofline. There’s just one available engine, namely a 3.5L V6 paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.
