The Toyota Avalon is a large, comfortable sedan with tight handling and a flawless ride. It's smooth and quiet with extremely low levels of noise, vibration, and harshness, a good car for long hours in the saddle. It has plenty of power and excellent brakes. Electronic wizardry and a well-developed chassis makes it an easy car to handle in hazardous road conditions.

When equipped with the available front bench seat, it can transport six passengers in typical Toyota comfort and quiet serenity. The Avalon offers a strong value among full-size sedans.

As practical as the Avalon appears, it can be equipped with luxurious leather seats, handsome seven-spoke aluminum wheels and a JBL sound system that rivals almost anything you can buy for your home. It's Toyota's flagship sedan.
