2005 Toyota Avalon Road Test

The 2005 Toyota Avalon’s interior design team saw to it that there were plenty of places to stow that odds-‘n-ends that accumulate in daily driving.

Along with a generously-sized storage compartment with a 12-volt power outlet underneath the nicely padded sliding center armrest, there’s another slightly smaller cubby (also with a 12-volt power outlet) located on the center console. Twin cupholders, two tip-out pockets in each front door, and a sunglasses holder in the overhead console round out the list of storage options. In back, flip down the center armrest and you’ll find dual cupholders and a shallow compartment as well as pockets in both rear doors.

The good-sized trunk is big enough to accommodate luggage for a family of four that hasn’t learned the meaning of packing light. A pass-through opening located behind the rear seat’s center armrest, which enables the trunk to accommodate longer cargo, is standard on all models.
