Toyota Avalon
The Avalon was completely redesigned last year and compares favourably to some luxury cars. The two available trim levels, namely the athletic XSE and the more opulent Limited, are clearly differentiated in design and features to appeal to different tastes. For 2020, the nine-inch Display Audio screen is enhanced with Connected Services by Toyota. A strong 301-horsepower V6 and a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission round out the package. An all-wheel drivetrain will be available starting next fall.
