The Toyota Avalon is a comfortable large sedan with a refined design aesthetic. And it’s so safe, it was the Top Safety Pick of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety 2010. If you want to learn more, check out these three features that set the Avalon above all the other sedans.

Its luxurious interior. Not only is it spacious, it’s comfortable, elegant, and designed for ease of use. 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. Standard with all Avalons are Bluetooth® wireless technology, an advanced audio system that enables streaming music from websites like Pandora®, a USB port with iPod connectivity, and an available voice-activated touch-screen DVD navigation system. With the Avalon Limited, your audio system will be even better, with a 12-speaker system (including subwoofer).

Power with efficiency. The Avalon’s advanced 3.5-Liter V6 engine produces a whopping 268 horsepower, and with Dual Independent Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence, your engine’s power and efficiency will be optimized. The result: an EPA-estimated 20 city/29 highway mpg rating.

2011 Toyota Avalon

2011 Toyota Avalon

From a sleek exterior to a roomy and quiet interior, the 2011 Toyota Avalon has it all. With each new edition, Toyota just keeps making its top of the line model better and better, and the 2011 is no exception. If you’re looking for a full sized sedan with all the amenities, the new Avalon is definitely worth a closer look.

While always the model of sleek and elegant styling, the Avalon has added some nice exterior details for 2011. Accentuating its already pleasing appearance are auto-leveling headlamps that combine style and function quite nicely. Along these same lines, the Light Pipes in the new Avalon tail lights make use of LED technology to increase safety and accentuate style all at once.

Of course, the Avalon wouldn’t be a true luxury car if it didn’t have the perfect interior to match its stylish exterior. In the case of the 2011 model, the Avalon might outdo itself a bit. 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.

In addition to its visual appeal, the Avalon’s interior cabin is one of the quietest around. All aspects of the passenger compartment have been engineered to dampen outside noises, providing a smooth and quiet ride whose only soundtrack is provided by you. When you listen to Pandora internet radio or stream music directly from a digital player through the Bluetooth enabled wireless stereo system and enjoy the great sound of the 5.1 simulated surround sound audio system, you’ll know why the 2011 Toyota Avalon is a true luxury car.

Of course, a smooth, comfortable ride and a little extra convenience are what luxury cars are all about. The new Avalon takes these elements to the next level, however, with the addition of two handy features to enhance the ease of your travels. Heated seats aren’t really new, but the 2011 Avalon has seats that include both heating and ventilation, making them adjustable to a wide range of weather conditions. The level of heating or cooling that the seat puts out is also adjustable, enabling you to remain comfortable all year round.

Another handy feature of this new Avalon model is the voice-activated DVD navigation system. With a 7-inch touch-screen, voice-recognition technology and real-time XM NavTraffic flow data, you’ll never have trouble finding your way again. You won’t even have to pull over to punch in the address you’re looking for. All you have to do is tell the Avalon where you want to go, and it’ll find you the best route.

Although these are only a couple of the great features the 2011 Avalon brings to the table, they make it easy to see why this full sized sedan is so desirable. The impressive combination of style, convenience and comfort that the Avalon offers is second to none, and this is especially true on the latest edition.

2011 Toyota Avalon

2011 Toyota Avalon

There are a lot of reasons to want to buy a Toyota sedan. You may be attracted by their excellent fuel economy, long-standing reputation for durability and reliability, or simply by their eye-catching exterior and interior design. No matter what draws you to the selection of Toyota sedans on the market, you’ll have some good options from which to choose.

Particularly if you’re looking for an upscale sedan, Toyota has some great options for you. The Avalon has been Toyota’s model of upscale excellence since it first came on the market in 1994. While this is always the example that Toyota likes to point to when discussing its luxury car options, the Avalon has a price tag to match its fancy features.

The Avalon, of course, is a full size sedan and if you need the space it is an excellent choice. However, if you’re just as comfortable with a roomy midsize sedan, you may be interested to see how the Toyota Camry stacks up against its big brother.

The truth is that a top of the line Camry actually holds its own quite well when compared with a comparably equipped Avalon. Essentially the only differences between these two cars are the overall size and the price tag. The Avalon can wind up costing up to $8,000 more than a Camry that offers the exact same features. Of course, the Avalon is still the right choice for consumers who like the heft and smooth ride offered by a true full size sedan, but the Camry can be quite an excellent luxury option as well.

2011 Toyota Avalon

2011 Toyota Avalon

Since it first came out with the Avalon in 1994, Toyota has been committed to making this a true luxury car. Its full size layout provides for a roomy ride and many handy accessories keep you feeling like you’re riding in style. That much hasn’t changed when it comes to the 2011 model, and the features that Toyota has included on this new model will surely keep the Avalon at the top of its class.

Can a car really help you see better? Well, the 2011 Avalon is sure going to try. One of the most exciting features on this new model is the windshield wipers that automatically turn on when they sense rain. They can also adjust their speed to the intensity of the downpour. That’s certainly not something you’re going to find on just any car, and it’s an incredibly handy feature to have. Once you’ve driven an Avalon with these rain-sensing wipers, you’ll never want to drive another car in the rain again.

The 2011 Avalon also features wide-angle fog lamps which can increase your viewing area in poor weather conditions up to 53 degrees. That’s a huge boost, and a great way to make sure that you’re always going to be able to see what’s coming.

Of course, since it’s helping you to see so much better out the front, the Avalon couldn’t let you back up blindly. That’s why Toyota is offering a backup camera on the 2011 model. Of course, you certainly can park or back up a car without a backup camera. But why would you want to?

Toyota’s intent ever since they first released the Avalon in 1994 has been to provide a true luxury car that is also affordable and well made. To this end, they have constantly incorporated new features into the sleek interior and spacious interior of this magnificent model. And when it comes to the new 2011 model of the Avalon, Toyota has managed to continue this trend, adding even more exciting features to the car that already had everything – or so we thought.

The addition of Bluetooth Streaming Audio on the 2011 Avalon is one of the more ingenious and exciting new features this car has to offer. With this wireless audio system, you can stream music from your Bluetooth enabled device and play it through the sound system of the car. You can even stream Pandora or any other type of Internet radio.

And just to be sure you can hear all of that great music that you’re streaming, the 2011 Avalon also includes an interior cabin space specially designed to keep outside noises out. Additionally, many of the Avalon’s exterior features, such as the grille and even the door handles, are designed specifically to eliminate wind noise as much as possible.

Couple all of that with a state of the art, incredibly finely tuned suspension system and you may well forget you’re actually out on the road when you’re riding in a 2011 Toyota Avalon. Of course, these are only a few of the many new and unique features that this vehicle has to offer, but they make it easy to see why the 2011 Avalon is a tough car to pass up.
