With unparalleled comfort, great fuel economy and legendary reliability, the Toyota Avalon is the champion of the premium midsize segment. The all-new 2013 Toyota Avalon raises the bar with new styling and the introduction of the first full-hybrid in the segment.

 

The new 2013 Toyota Avalon is slightly shorter, lower, and slightly less wide than the previous model. The new design was created by a team here in America, and it features a smooth, sleek shape with muscular lines and a sporting profile. In addition to being designed in the U.S., the new Avalon is also assembled right here in the USA, at the Toyota Manufacturing Plant in Georgetown, Kentucky.

 

The standard Avalon has seen multiple improvements to its drivetrain, enhancing capability and fuel economy. The time-proven 3.5-liter V6 is now matched to a more responsive, more efficient six-speed automatic transaxle. The all-aluminum engine produces 268 hp and propels the Avalon to 60 mph in less than seven seconds. The 2013 model also sees the addition of three driver-selectable powertrain modes––“ECO,”
“NORMAL” and “SPORT”––to adjust the car to various driving situations. In SPORT mode, the new Avalon features increased acceleration response and enhanced steering feel. ECO maximizes fuel efficiency by altering throttle response and reducing the energy used by the air-condition system, allowing the Avalon to achieve an impressive 31 mpg highway estimate from the EPA. City economy is rated at 21 mpg.

 

Of course, if you are after the best possible fuel economy, the all-new, segment-first full-hybrid Avalon is the way to go. Award-winning Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive combines with the Avalon Hybrid’s reduced weight and more aerodynamic shape to deliver an EPA-estimated 39 mpg highway and 40 mpg city. The Avalon Hybrid features a 2.5-liter four-cylinder paired with a nickel-metal hydride battery pack. There is also a pair of electric motor/generators within the transaxle. The system has a total power output of 200 hp and has three separate driving modes: “EV,” “ECO” and “SPORT.” EV mode allows the Avalon to travel on pure electric energy for up to one mile at speeds up to 25 mph. This is especially useful for traveling through parking lots and residential areas. ECO mode uses the gasoline motor, but adjusts throttle response and climate control to help improve fuel economy. Sport mode, designed to take advantage of the dynamic characteristics of the Avalon, alters engine throttle and enhances steering feel.

 

The Avalon comes with the Toyota Star Safety System^™ and Toyota Care as standard. The Star Safety System includes a full suite of safety systems like Traction Control and Vehicle Stability Control combined with advanced airbags. Anti-lock brakes, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Brake Assist and Smart Stop brake override technology are also included in the Star Safety System. While Star Safety protects you, the Toyota Care complimentary maintenance program provides free factory scheduled maintenance for two years or 25,000 miles.

 

American-built quality, legendary Toyota reliability and unsurpassed refinement and driving characteristics make the all-new 2013 Toyota Avalon an exciting addition to the Toyota family. Come in today and experience the superior fit, finish and feel of the 2013 Toyota Avalon.
