Overall Rating
The 2016 Toyota Avalon carries the same V6 engine that we saw last year. Thus the Avalon provides great overall performance while still being efficient on the fuel economy.
The 2016 Toyota Avalon sedan blends luxury and practicality at a starting price of $32,350. In 2016 Avalon offers 5-passenger seating, a great fuel economy rating and a competitive price tag. Also, with strong engine options, the Avalon is surprisingly engaging to drive. To further stamp its presence, the sedan has one of the highest reliability ratings in the class.
From the very looks, Avalon's sleek styling has a high head-turning quotient, in contrast to the more upright lines of the Chrysler 300 and Honda Accord. Though some of Avalon's rivals offer optional all-wheel-drive. This Toyota scores above average ranking among its competitors, but the only downside is its small trunk capacity.Â
We would recommend you to opt for the XLE Premium trim that adds in over the XLE and XLE Plus trim. Along with all the features from the previous two trims like the automatic headlights, leather upholstery, heated mirrors, and many more, the XLE Premium trim adds driver memory settings, wireless charging, navigation system, and delivers assistive technologies. Therefore, starting at a price of $35,850, the XLE Premium provides the best value for the money spent.
