| 2013 Toyota Avalon |
It is also one of Toyota's new, best-selling models and "continued to attract customers with double-digit gains in April," said Bill Fay, general manager of Toyota Motor Sales USA.
Here is what some of the top auto websites are saying about the 2013 Toyota Avalon.
From Kelley Blue Book's, kbb.com:
- All told, the 2013 Avalon represents a dramatic departure from its vanilla-flavored predecessors and deservedly holds down the spot as Toyota's flagship sedan.
- "...a striking new design, responsive driving dynamics, and advanced, yet easy-to-use in-vehicle technology."
- Given its class-leading resale value and stellar record for reliability, the new Toyota Avalon is a smart buy for value-conscious shoppers.
- Has "a dose of athleticism and panache to the mix."
- For a marginal price premium, the 2013 Avalon Hybrid offers plenty of power for everyday driving and up to 40 mpg combined city/highway – impressive figures for a full-size sedan.
- Favorite Features: CAPACITIVE TOUCH SWITCHES and REAR CROSS TRAFFIC WARNING
- The 2013 Toyota Avalon offers perhaps the finest cabin in its class, with first-rate materials, user-friendly controls and impressive fit and finish.
- Toyota's latest batch of infotainment options such as advanced voice recognition, mobile application integration and hard-drive-based navigation should appeal to tech-savvy buyers.
- "...the 2013 Avalon is expected to retain the highest resale value in the segment."
- "I'd take the 2013 Avalon over a family-friendly three-row SUV any day."
- "The Avalon has a smooth ride, but don't be fooled, if you need a kick of power, it's there thanks to the 3.5-liter V-6 engine... The available adaptive cruise control kept my lead foot in check on the long desert highway, and when patches of traffic came up en route, the car handled all the braking for me. Now that's luxury."
- "Prepare for a double take. At first glance, you might mistake the redesigned 2013 Avalon for a bona-fide luxury car. Throughout my weeklong test drive with the Avalon, I kept checking the badging to confirm it was a Toyota. It's a looker."
- "Families will marvel at the nearly endless trunk space. I picked my jaw off the ground after I was able to stash my stroller in the very back of the trunk and still had a substantial amount of space remaining. The Avalon's rear seats don't fold, but the trunk was so big that it wasn't a problem."
- "Two words describe the standard leather seats: like buttah."
- "It delivers one of the best smartphone integration experiences I've tested."
- "The 2013 Avalon has been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety."
- The 2013 Toyota Avalon is more responsive and sophisticated than ever before, without giving up any comfort; and in the new Avalon Hybrid, 40 mpg has never been so serene.
- "Taking a step back, the exterior of the new Avalon really lures you in."
- "Up close, cabin materials are superb, and also a full league above those in the Camry."
- "This is a cabin that feels extremely roomy and far more modern and luxurious than the previous Avalon, with top-notch materials, thoughtful details and comfortable seats."
- I"n back, the seats are among the best we've sampled in a larger sedan—contoured well for adults and with relatively long lower cushions to provide thigh support."
- "The new Avalon gets a 16-cubic-foot trunk, and with a flat floor and wide opening, you can fit a lot of grocery bags. Meanwhile, the Hybrid's 14-cubic-foot trunk is only slightly smaller than last year's 14.4-cu-ft cargo hold."
- "The Avalon offers a strong list of safety features, including separate rear side-thorax airbags and front knee bags. And at the top of the lineup there's the Rear Cross Traffic Alert system, which uses sensors in the rear quarter panels to help detect vehicles as they approach from the side and behind the vehicle—especially helpful if you're backing out of a driveway with an obstructed view. Additionally, all but the base Avalon XLE come with a backup camera system."
