2015 Toyota Avalon Marks twenty Years of Blurring the Lines of Luxury
Credit for all the admiring glances the Avalon draws primarily goes to the company`s Calty Design Research in Newport Beach, Calif., which designed the exterior. A low 0.28 coefficient of haul (Cd) lets the Avalon slice through wind resistance, a boon to aid both fuel economy and strength. Some credit for the efficient aerodynamics goes to details like the sleek side mirrors, which house a turn signal lamp, heater, memory positioning, a puddle lamp, available Blind Spot Monitor indicator and available auto-dimming electro-chromatic glass.
Calty Design Research also gets much of the credit for an interior that anyone could mistake for that of a much more expensive luxury model. The engaging yet supremely refined driving practice, highlighted by a hushed cabin, sculpted soft-touch interior surfaces and easy-to-use multimedia, also encroaches on luxury territory.
The Limited trim moves up to premium perforated leather, along with a 10-way power driver`s seat and 8-way power front passenger seat. Both are heated and ventilated, and the Limited also features standard heated rear seats.
Intelligent Touch controls react to a light touch, and can even be operated by arms with gloves or longer fingernails.
Eyes and palms find luxury details via the Avalon`s cabin. Actually, those details commence outside with the standard Brainy Key System on the driver door and trunk with push-button kicking off. On grades above the XLE, the system also features Brainy Key function for both driver and front passenger doors. On the XLE Premium and above, the rear-view mirror integrates a compass display and HomeLink ® transceiver.
The Avalon even treats wireless devices with refinement. The eBin™ electronics storage tray in the center console can store two devices (cellphones or iPod ® , for example) side-by-side on a high-grip surface. Charging jacks are located below the tray, which can be opened and closed with cables passing neatly through a slot. An electronics storage box underneath the eBin can store devices out of view while they recharge. The Avalon Limited gas and hybrid both suggest the Qi wireless phone charging capability for the eBin storage tray as an option. Two DC 12v power outlets, an AUX and a USB jack are accessible in the front storage box, with the large-capacity rear console box suggesting a third. The eBin tray is illuminated by LEDs at night.
Toyota Avalon accelerates powerfully and calmly with a standard Trio.5-liter, DOHC V6, an interesting contrast to the 4-cylinder engines now used in some midsize luxury models. Dual VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing with intelligence) ensures ample torque across the engine speed range.
Once you know that the EPA estimated the Avalon Hybrid at 40-MPG combined fuel economy rating, the 8.0-second zero-to-60 acceleration spectacle might come as a bit of a shock. More significant, tho’, is the car`s substantial torque, which makes this roomy sedan feel quick and responsive in everyday driving. And, the Avalon Hybrid comes tooled with a 17-gallon fuel tank capacity, suggesting an extended driving range.
The Avalon comes ready to inform and connect. The standard 8-speaker Entune Audio Plus system is tooled with SiriusXM Radio with 3-month complimentary trial, HD radio, HD traffic and weather in major metro areas, integrated backup camera display (with projected path) and includes the Entune Multimedia Bundle with 6.1 in touch-screen display, AM/FM CD player, auxiliary audio jack, USB Two.0 port with iPod ® connectivity and control, advanced voice recognition, hands-free phone capability, phone book access and music streaming via Bluetooth ® wireless technology.
Tooled with ten standard airbags, the Toyota Avalon was designed to protect. Like all Toyota models, the Avalon features the Starlet™ Safety System, which includes Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Brake System (Six pack), Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA), and Brainy Stop brake-override Technology (SST).
Toyota`s 36-month/36,000 mile basic new-vehicle warranty applies to all components other than normal wear and maintenance items. Extra 60-month warranties cover the powertrain for 60,000 miles and against corrosion with no mileage limitation. The hybrid-related components, including the HV battery, battery control module, hybrid control module and inverter with converter, are covered for eight years/100,000 miles.
