One striking feature of the 2019 Avalon is its large grille that looks eager to inhale all the air around it in one go. The design is even more appealing on the XSE trim with a black honeycomb mesh insert that accentuates its presence.
This car boasts a lengthy body, stretching 195.9 inches in length. The gently sloping roof creates a fastback-style rear that seamlessly blends into the rear deck. The full-width taillight below adds a touch of artistry to the design.
Toyota claims this model is more potent than its predecessors. It comes with a hybrid drivetrain featuring an upgraded 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle inline-four engine combined with two electric motors, delivering a total of 215 horsepower. It accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 7.8 seconds.
The Toyota Avalon now supports Apple CarPlay, a long-awaited feature. However, the wait continues for Android Auto compatibility.
Despite its substantial size, the Avalon provides ample legroom for rear passengers with seats designed to accommodate adults comfortably. The front seats, on the other hand, are hindered by a large and intrusive center console that consumes valuable space for the driver and front passenger.
While not marketed as a luxury sedan, the Avalon offers a budget-friendly option for buyers seeking a balance of comfort and affordability. With these enhancements, it is expected to gain popularity among consumers.
