Toyota Avalon Performance

View Avalon Inventory

The 2017 Toyota Avalon performance showcases the might and agility you may not expect from a typical full-size sedan. This spacious vehicle is more than capable of handling your daily commute, and it moves with serious style. Amongst the sculpted silhouette, the plush interior, and the high-tech amenities, there's no dead weight in this spectacular ride. Find out if the Toyota Avalon performance is what's missing from your life at Elgin Toyota.

Powertrain

The Avalon's superior performance comes from Toyota's top engineering. The standard 3.5L V6 engine boasts innovative technology like Dual Independent Variable Valve Timing with intelligence. Paired with a 6-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission, you'll achieve up to 268 hp and 248 lb-ft of torque! There is plenty of power to handle your daily errands, work commute, and long road trips to new destinations.

The Avalon is optional as a hybrid model for eco-minded drivers. These models are equipped with a 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid engine achieving 200 net hp, along with an Electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT). Though the hybrid's dual motor and battery create an incredibly fuel-efficient ride, the gas-powered V6 offers an ECO mode to maximize every drop of fuel. So, no matter which trim level you choose, you'll enjoy a greener driving experience.

Efficiency

While on the topic of performance, let's dive a little deeper into the fuel economy of the Toyota Avalon. If you choose the gas-powered V6 powertrain, you'll enjoy an EPA-estimated 21 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. Opt for the hybrid powertrain and fuel economy surges to 40 mpg in the city and 39 mpg on the highway. While the V6 undoubtedly delivers a bold performance on the road, the hybrid may be worth a test drive if efficiency is your top priority.

Suspension

The Avalon has a steady following for its spacious, comfortable build. While it features plenty of plush interior features, the suave performance starts with the chassis itself. The unitized body has anti-vibration sub-frames in the front and rear of the vehicle. This helps to smooth out the ride while zooming through the roads. The MacPherson strut front suspension has offset coil springs and stabilizer bar for even greater control. In the back you'll find dual-link independent MacPherson strut suspension with the same offset coil springs and stabilizer bar. The result is a luxuriously stable ride that adapts to the terrain.
