Toyota Avalon

The Car Guide rating 4.0/5 82% Detailed ratings
Price $41,195 Payments
Fuel consumption 7.0 – 10.7 L/100km
The Avalon luxury sedan is one of the more serious vehicles in the Toyota catalogue. You might say that it’s discreet on the road and in terms of sales. The only trim level offered is the XLS, which is equipped with a 3.5L V6 that produces 268 hp and 248 lbs.-ft. of torque. There are no options to speak of, other than the six body colours. It is a very good value for the money.
