Avalon

Have you ever gone looking for something and been unable to find it, then discovered exactly what you were looking for as soon as you stopped looking, often in the most unexpected of places?

The Avalon is rather like that. It has many of the same luxury features as other, more commonly considered full-size sedans, but it’s not as obvious about it. The luxury you find in the Avalon is unexpected, so much so that it may just catch you off guard.

The style of the Avalon starts outside, with subtle details like the chrome accents on the door handles and dual exhaust and the 17 inch alloy wheels. Inside, the available leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob coincide perfectly with the power leather front seats and available touch-screen DVD navigation system.

Once you start driving, the 268 horsepower 3.5L V6 engine will dazzle you with its performance, while the ride is smooth enough on the MacPherson front suspension that you might forget you are in a car at all.

The Avalon can easily accommodate you and four friends plus luggage wherever you would like to go, and get you there efficiently with an EPA estimated fuel economy of 29 miles per gallon on the highway.

Yes, luxury like this comes quite out of the blue with the Avalon, especially when you consider the price tag starts at less than $33,200.

So, once you have looked everywhere else for the luxury you crave, pay a visit to Avalon and be pleasantly surprised.

2011 Toyota Avalon Limited

A luxury sedan is the dream of many. When they start out with that first car, they know that one day they will be able to step into something more chic and comfortable. If this sounds like you, and you have finally reached the point where you can consider a fine sedan like Avalon, keep reading.

You’ll notice when shopping for a fine car, however, that the Avalon is not just one car; there is also the Avalon Limited to consider. Which one is right for you? Let’s take a closer look.

First, know that the Avalon Limited is the more advanced version of the model. It is more expensive than its brother, but that’s because it has more to offer. The advantageous amenities of the Avalon Limited may not be clear at first glance, but you’ll notice when you sit on the standard heated leather seats, or when you take advantage of the standard memory system to keep your seat and mirror setting intact. It’s the details that set the Limited apart. If you appreciate the small things, you will appreciate the Limited.

Make no mistake, though. Both Avalons are luxurious and comfortable. Both are rich with standard leather trim, have available premium sound systems, and show off with standard chrome-tipped dual exhaust and power moon roof. If this much luxury and style is enough for you, then the base Avalon may be plenty, with no need to spring for the Limited edition.

One great thing about how far automobile technology has come is how comfortable today’s cars have become. This is fortunate, since many people find themselves spending more and more time in the car, whether it is traveling for business, getting stuck in traffic on the daily commute, or just squiring the kids about town. If this sounds like you, you’re probably thinking that having some luxury in your car would make the routine at least a little more bearable.

There are a number of luxury cars to choose from on the market to fill these needs, including the Avalon. Standard amenities on this full-size sedan include leather trimmed power seats, leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and XM® satellite radio. For a little more comfort and convenience, you can add optional heat to those leather seats, upgrade the audio system with optional JBL® speakers, or include an optional touch-screen navigation system, which is helpful if you need to travel a lot to unfamiliar places.

If you decide on an Avalon and find yourself wanting to add a lot of these options, consider upgrading to the Avalon Limited model, which offers as standard many of the same amenities that are optional on the base Avalon, as well as some additional exterior styling, like chrome door handles.

Either way, if comfort is a priority for you, the Avalon is one option to seriously consider when shopping for a car.

To help with the car buying decision process, here are four factors you should keep in mind. First, you should consider the size of the vehicle you need for your family. If you have children or pets and need the extra space to ensure everyone has enough room, an SUV or crossover like the Venza may be best for you how. However, if your family is small or you don’t have children yet, a sedan like the Camry or Avalon may be perfect.

Second, do you do a lot of heavy lifting or work in your vehicle? If you have weekend projects or you drive your vehicle to work, the best bet may be a truck like the Tacoma or Tundra. Toyota trucks are designed to be put through the ringer – not just at work but for all your home-based needs.

Third, how far do you drive every day? This affects two things – the amount of fuel economy you need out of your vehicle and the level of luxury offered. If you want to relax as you drive 1-2 hours to work each day, there are quite a few optional upgrades or enhanced models that target comfort along with durability.

Finally, there is the matter of reliability. Luckily, all Toyota vehicles are highly reliable, providing a bevy of safety features and options to make sure your car thrives for years to come. In short, a Toyota vehicle is a top choice for many reasons – which one you select may differ depending on your particular needs, but there will always be one to get the job done.

The driver’s seat is leather trimmed and includes lumbar support; the steering wheel has switches for audio and climate controls; the rear-view mirror integrates both a backup camera and a HomeLink® universal transceiver that will allow you toss out that bulky garage door opener. And lest you think the driver’s the only one with benefits, consider this: the rear seats both recline and were designed to maximize leg room. You’ve never been more comfortable in the back of a car.

Integrated technology. The backup camera and HomeLink® universal transceiver mentioned above are just the tip of the iceberg.

The interior is almost completely coated in soft, elegant leather trim. Additionally, the driver’s seat includes adjustable lumbar supports and 8-direction power adjustment to help keep you perfectly comfortable and ideally situated on both long rides and quick trips.
