Toyota Avalon Review | Toyota Avalon Hybrid
The 2022 Toyota Avalon is a sophisticated machine with incredible style, exciting technology, and a great reputation. Among large cars, it has the top ranking at both Motor Trend and US News and World Report. US News named it 2022 Best Large Car For the Money and 2022 Best Large Car For Families.
Clearly agreeing with the others, Edmunds calls it the “best of the bunch”. Recognizing its expected longevity, JD Power gives this model year an above average reliability score.
The 2022 Toyota Avalon Hybrid for sale takes that formula for success and adds remarkable fuel economy. All in all, these are two unbeatable models. Check out this Avalon review to get the details about size, specifications, trim levels, and more.
Interior
Kelley Blue Book praises the Toyota Sedan for its Lexus levels of refinement. The Avalon is known for its upscale materials including standard SofTex® upholstery. The tilt-telescopic steering wheel is covered in a soft leather. These upscale materials and the sleek infotainment display look right at home among the angular design elements that tie it all together.
Car and Driver has singled out how the broad waterfall-style center stack establishes a division between the driver’s cockpit and the front seat passenger. Nicely grained trim plastics have a hydrographic look. Technology is seamlessly integrated into the design.
Higher trim levels offer premium leather or perforated SofTex® with ultra suede. All models have well cushioned front seats and a well padded bench on the second row.
The Toyota Avalon for sale is offered in XLE, Limited and Touring trims. The hybrid comes in XLE, XSE Nightshade, and Limited trims at your Phoenix AZ Toyota dealer. All trims keep the noise down with an acoustic noise-reducing windshield and acoustic front windows.
Avalon Colors
The XLE and Touring are offered in Supersonic Red and Opulent Amber. All three regular trims are offered in Midnight Black, Harbor Gray and Celestial Silver Metallics. Pearl hues include Windchill Ruby Flare. Additional colors include Ice Edge and Blueprint.
The Avalon Hybrid is offered in these colors as well. The XSE Nightshade comes in Windchill Pearl, Celestial Silver Metallic, and Midnight Black Metallic. This has black wheels, black accents, and gloss black grille accents.
Interior colors include black, graphite and harvest beige. Trim elements include touchable plastics, real aluminum, and genuine wood.
Size and Specifications
This large sedan has a maximum passenger volume of 104.3 cubic feet. The hybrid measures 103.8 cubic feet. There’s plenty of room for people and their luggage.
Thanks to 40.3 inches of rear leg room, Car and Driver declares that the Avalon’s back seat is enough room for “tall passengers to stretch their legs.” The Car Connection calls it “crossed-leg space for tall passengers”. In fact, the second row has six inches more legroom than rival Nissan Maxima.
The large trunk measures 16.1 cu-ft in both the Avalon and Avalon Hybrid in Phoenix, AZ. Once again comparing models, the Avalon trunk is much bigger than the Nissan Maxima’s 14.3 cubic foot trunk.
Trim Levels
For many people, the XLE trim level will have everything they need. For comfort, the front row has dual-zone automatic climate controls and a power driver’s chair. The style includes synthetic leather seats, a leather steering wheel and hydrographic trim. A large 9-inch touchscreen and 8-speaker audio system provide ample entertainment opportunities.
The Avalon Hybrid XLE has the same features. It adds a vehicle approach system to make sure pedestrians and cyclists hear it when its in EV mode. The XSE Nightshade is the hybrid sport model. It has perforated synthetic leather seats, aluminum trim accents, and aluminum pedals.
The Avalon Touring sport model has ventilated seats and a wireless charger. Passengers will like the ambient lighting and the 14-speaker stereo. It has two rows of heated seats and a heated steering wheel.
The 2022 Avalon Hybrid Limited and regular Limited trims are even more upscale. The interior wears leather upholstery and boasts genuine wood accents. Motor Trend praises this trim as “particularly plush”.
Phoenix AZ drivers will be happy to note that ventilated seats are standard on these trims. Ambient cabin lighting, two rows of heated seats and the heating steering wheel are on board. These trims have more technology, such as the adaptive cornering lights, the head up display, and the 14-speaker JBL audio system. The upgraded touchscreen includes navigation.
Technology
The modern cockpit has dual screens, an electric parking brake, and push button start.
Wi Fi connectivity is available and comes with a complimentary trial period. The Avalon XLE touchscreen has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. It also includes exclusive Scout GPS Link navigation. Amazon Alexa compatibility and satellite radio are additional modern amenities.
The standard cabin has two USB-C and two USB-A charge ports. The Smart Key System works on the front doors and the trunk.
Standard Performance
An Avalon gets its power from a 3.5-liter V6 engine. The driver commands 301 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. Despite its large size, the sedan can go from 0 to 60 mph in about 6 seconds. Reviewers have praised its sharp cornering, good suspension, quiet ride, and minimal body lean.
Highway fuel economy is 32 miles per gallon for the XLE. It is 32 miles per gallon for the Limited and Touring. Front wheel drive is standard with a Direct Shift 8 speed automatic transmission.
For sportier responses, the Avalon Touring has an adaptive suspension with a sport mode. This edition also features an Intake Sound Generator and Sport sound-tuned exhaust to accentuate its sporty attitude.
Hybrid Performance
The Avalon Hybrid engine produces 176 horsepower and 163 lb-ft of torque from a four-cylinder engine. However, with its hybrid battery and motor, it has a total output of 215 horsepower.
Auto Glide Control lets it coast down long descents without using gas. It has 4-Mode Switch (EV, Eco, Normal, Sport)
Fuel economy is 43 mpg in the city and 44 mpg on the highway. The top two trims earn 43/43 mpg city/highway.
Assisted by its continuously variable transmission, the Toyota hybrid Avalon’s front motor drives the front wheels. The second motor starts the car and charges the hybrid battery. There is no need to plug in this car.
The XSE Nightshade hybrid has a sport-tuned suspension. The high-strength TNGA build has created an ideal foundation for sport sedan driving.
Safety
Typical of Toyota’s commitment to safety, the 2022 Avalon has 10 airbags and the front row has special whiplash-Injury-Lessening (WIL) seats. The hybrid adds collision sensors to deactivate the high-voltage battery after impact.
Crash test scores are excellent, and the car has a five-star national safety rating. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has declared the Limited, Touring and Hybrid Limited as a Top Safety Pick. The forward collision system received a rare superior rating.
Parents should note that Avalon Toyota LATCH attachments earned a rare Good-Plus rating. A rear seat reminder is a new standard, helping the driver remember to check the back seat before leaving the car.
Driver Assistance
Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+ is now standard on both the regular and hybrid sedans.
With the addition of lane tracing assist, the Avalon’s adaptive cruise control (ACC) gains more potential for automated driving. Automatic high beams take care of high and low adjustments.
The forward collision warning (FCW) can be triggered by stopping cars or pedestrians. The FCW may trigger automatic braking, even if the ACC is off. The lane watch can trigger a straighten-up warning or steering assist.
As Kelley Blue Book notes, visibility is excellent out the windows, and the blind spot monitor makes sure the driver is more aware of what can’t be seen.
Road sign assist alerts the driver to speed limit changes and other critical signs. The available Heads Up Display puts vital information such as road signs and navigation information on the windshield in easy view of the driver.
Radar is key to adaptive cruise control. The system can slow and go with traffic. If the lane tracing assist is engaged, the steering is programmed to stay within the lane lines. The driver must remain alert with hands on the steering wheel and feet ready to brake, but the system is doing much of the driving.
Parking Assistance
The rearview camera is complemented by the rear cross traffic alert, a new standard across all trim lines. This system watches for approaching traffic on either side as the Avalon is backing out of a driveway or parking spot.
With the Advanced Safety Package, the Limited and Touring editions add a Bird’s Eye View Camera for use in drive and reverse. A Perimeter Scan and curb view ensure that the driver is informed about what is close to the car at every point during slow maneuvers.
Watching the front and rear, Intelligent Clearance Sonar adds another level of caution. Rear Cross-Traffic Braking responds to the alert and can stop the vehicle from moving into the path of oncoming side traffic.
Avalon Price
The 2022 Toyota Avalon price starts at $36,375 MSRP. The Avalon Hybrid price is just $37,350. This slight price difference allows many shoppers to step up from the standard to the hybrid technology.
The XSE Hybrid Nightshade lists for $40,700. The Limited lists for $42,675. The Avalon Touring price is $43,075. The Limited Hybrid adds another $620, a bargain for its remarkable money-saving powertrain.
Ownership Costs
The Avalon Hybrid will save about $4,250 compared to the average vehicle during that same 5 year period. That’s like a rebate on your purchase!
If you choose the regular Avalon, its fuel economy saves about $1,000 over five years when compared to rivals Chrysler 300 or Dodge Charger.
As for resale value, Kelley Blue Book has named Toyota as the top affordable brand for five out of the last six years. Intellichoice singles out Toyota as the best brand for resale values and for the best overall value at purchase.
Toyota provides a 1-year trial for Safety Connect® and for Remote Connect. Wi-Fi Connect comes with a 3 month trial (up to 2GB). If you choose the navigation touchscreen system, Toyota adds a 1-year trial for Destination Assist.
All models come with two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance. Toyota Service Connect is complimentary for ten years. All of these extras add up to valuable savings.
Our dealership sweetens every deal with convenient onsite financing, fair trade-in prices, and terrific customer service. Isn’t it time for a test drive?
