2006 NY Auto Show
Avalon provides full-size room and comfort, sport sedan performance and surprising fuel efficiency – including an EPA-estimated highway mileage rating of 31 mpg. The top-of-the-line Avalon Limited compares well to near-luxury models for comfort and amenities.
The Avalon is offered in four grades, the standard XL, the sporty Touring, the well-equipped XLS and the top-of-the-line Limited.
All Avalon models are powered by the most powerful V6 that Toyota has ever offered in its U.S. model line-up. The 3.5-liter, 24-valve V6 is equipped with Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) and a dual-stage variable intake manifold. The V6 produces an impressive 268 horsepower and 248 lb.-ft. of torque.
The powerful V6 engine is teamed to a five-speed sequential shift automatic transmission. The sequential shift feature allows the driver to enjoy a more involved driving experience by controlling gearshifts manually, when desired.
