About 2017 Toyota Avalon


4.0

Overall Rating

The 2017 Toyota Avalon is the embodiment of comfortable driving and predictability. The Toyota didn\u2019t alter its winning recipe and focused more over presentation. The Avalon\u2019s cabin is a better place to be in than any of the competitors.

The 2017 Toyota Avalon is revamped in design and sports luxurious interiors as compared to the outgoing model. The Avalon in its current generation tries to blend luxury with practicality and safety. It is furnished with active safety features like adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic high-beams, and more.

Starting at a base price of $33,300, this Toyota sedan is a rather affordable car. It harbors a potent 3.5L V6 engine backed with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The engine churns out 268 hp of power and 248 lb-ft of torque. The engine's power is transmitted to the front wheels of the car.

Amongst the five variants that are on offer, the XLE trim is the most sought-after purchase option. It ensures features of the highest quality without making a dent in the buyer’s pocket. However, if finance is not a constraint the top-of-the-line Limited trim can be your go-to option.

2017 Toyota Avalon Review


The 2017 Toyota Avalon is the embodiment of comfortable driving and predictability. The Toyota didn\u2019t alter its winning recipe and focused more over presentation. The Avalon\u2019s cabin is a better place to be in than any of the competitors.

The 2017 Toyota Avalon is revamped in design and sports luxurious interiors as compared to the outgoing model. The Avalon in its current generation tries to blend luxury with practicality and safety. It is furnished with active safety features like adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic high-beams, and more.

Starting at a base price of $33,300, this Toyota sedan is a rather affordable car. It harbors a potent 3.5L V6 engine backed with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The engine churns out 268 hp of power and 248 lb-ft of torque. The engine's power is transmitted to the front wheels of the car.

Pricing and Features
6.0/10


The new Toyota Avalon is offered in 5 different trims namely the XLE, XLE Plus, XLE Premium, Limited, and Touring. While the base trim is priced at $33,300, the top-of-the-line Limited variant gets a price sticker of $41,100. All 5 trims get a 3.5L 6-cylinder engine as standard mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission that transfers power to the front wheels of the Avalon. The distinction between each trim from the other is the set of features at the user’s disposal and the most viable trim will depend on how many features the buyer wants in his car.

We recommend

Amongst the five variants that are on offer, the XLE trim is the most sought-after purchase option. It ensures features of the highest quality without making a dent in the buyer’s pocket. However, if finance is not a constraint the top-of-the-line Limited trim can be your go-to option.

Engine and Performance
8.6/10


The engine in-charge of powering the Toyota Avalon is a 3.5L 6-cylinder engine that comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission and is the standard setup across all variants.

Though the power is adequate for a car of its segment, all other competitors have higher performance figures and feature an 8-speed automatic transmission. The Buick LaCrosse has the most powerful engine producing 310 hp of engine power and 268lb.-ft. of torque.

2017 Toyota Avalon Acceleration

The Toyota Avalon’s V6 engine is potent and its acceleration timings are evidence of it. The Avalon is capable of powering to 60 MPH from a standstill in 6.4 seconds and can complete a quarter-mile run in 14.8 seconds. The major advantage of the Toyota Avalon is its comparatively lower emission rates at 7.4 Tons/year of CO2 Emissions @ 15K mi/year.

However, when compared with competitors the Avalon seems to fall short. Though it is faster than the Kia Cadenza that takes 6.5 seconds to reach the 60MPH mark, it is slower than the Buick LaCrosse’s 5.8 seconds. The Dodge Charger is both the fastest and quickest car in the segment and takes 4.6 and 11.4 seconds to the 60 MPH and quarter-mile mark respectively.

2017 Toyota Avalon Ride and Handling

The Toyota Avalon has been thoughtfully curated to fit into the category of a vehicle that can be used for the daily commute. Its huge size may be difficult to maneuver in the city and parking in sub-compact zones can be a tedious task but its light steering eases handling and makes up for its size. The interiors on the Avalon have an abundance of luxury and its hi-tech safety features enhance ride quality manifold.

2017 Toyota Avalon Braking

The Avalon is equipped with a 4-wheel disc brake that makes the braking decent and easy. The brake is neither too soft nor too confident in usage and seams in perfectly with the overall structure and body type. The Avalon features front and rear brakes of 11.7 and 11.1 inches respectively. In the deceleration test from 60-0 MPH, the Avalon covers a total distance of 126ft before coming to rest.

Competition
7.0/10


Kia Cadenza Vs Toyota Avalon

Priced at $31,990, the Kia Cadenza features a 3.3L 6-cylinder engine that produces 290hp of power and 23lb.-ft of torque. The Cadenza and Avalon are similar in dimensions and fair equally in the acceleration tests. But the Cadenza boasts of better braking statistics and leads the pack in terms of passenger volume with 107 cubic feet. It supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, something that the Avalon misses out on. On the flip side, it is the Avalon that has better driving dynamics and handling and is more fuel-efficient.

Buick LaCrosse Vs Toyota Avalon

The Buick LaCrosse gets its power from a 3.6L 6-cylinder engine that produces 310hp of power and 293lb.-ft. of torque and possesses the most powerful engine in the segment. It overshadows the Avalon with its better acceleration, braking capabilities, and its 8-speed automatic transmission makes driving fun.

However, it lags behind Avalon with its lesser passenger volume and cargo volume at 100 and 15 cubic feet respectively as compared to Avalon’s 103.6 and 16.0 cubic feet. The Avalon also performs marginally better when it comes to fuel efficiency with a combined mileage of 24 MPG.

Dodge Charger Vs Toyota Avalon

The Dodge Charger is one of the strongest cars in the class. With more power and incredible drivability, the Dodge charges on the competition with ferocity. It is a more muscular car where the Avalon brings comfort and drivability to the table. The competitive edge that the new Dodge Charger has over all other cars in the segment is its lower price and larger dimensions.

Final Verdict


The 2017 Toyota Avalon is the embodiment of comfortable driving and predictability. Toyota didn’t alter its winning recipe and focused on moreover presentation. The Avalon’s cabin is a better place to be in than any of the competitors. But its $33000 price tag might vex some buyers.
