2022 Toyota Avalon

With the discontinuation of the TLD trim, the 2022 Toyota Avalon now comes in the XLE, Touring, and Limited trim levels. Except for the Touring trim, all trims of the 2022 Avalon are offered in hybrid variants as well. Additionally, there's an XSE trim, which is available exclusively as a hybrid trim. Each trim adds or replaces features. The XLE has LED headlights with automatic high beams, heated power side mirrors, and 17-inch alloy wheels. The Touring trim, meanwhile, rides atop 19-inch black wheels and comes with adaptive pivoting headlights, a head-up display, and a moonroof.

All trims of the 2022 Toyota Avalon come with a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that makes 301 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque configured in front-wheel drive. This engine setup is paired with a smoothly shifting eight-speed automatic transmission system.

The 2022 Toyota Avalon shows that good fuel economy doesn't demand a smaller vehicle. The XLE trim delivers 22/32 city/highway mpg, whereas the Touring and Limited trims offer 22/31. For longer commutes, its comfort is unmatched. It all comes down to a combination of an adaptive suspension system, quick steering, active braking system, and an emphasis on driver confidence. Even on sharp corners, there is a minimal body lean. Overall, Toyota designed a pleasing performance that perfectly suits the Avalon. Though it's a relatively large sedan, the 2022 Avalon sprints from 0-60 mph in six seconds — impressive timing for its segment. Be it highways or cities, the Avalon gives off an enjoyable, reliable power balance.

This four-door sedan can comfortably seat five adults on its well-cushioned seats. The steering wheel and the seats can be adjusted in various ways to match your comfort. Overall interior space is abundant, such as the trunk area with 16.1 cubic feet and foldable rear seats for moving day. All Avalons come with standard synthetic leather upholstery and heated front seats, whereas genuine leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and a heated steering wheel are also available. The intuitive infotainment system has standard features like a 9-inch touch screen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, satellite radio, an eight-speaker stereo, Bluetooth, and five USB ports. Navigation, a 14-speaker stereo, and wireless device charging are also available. Other available tech, comfort, or convenience features include dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless entry, push-button start, a moonroof, and ambient interior lighting.

Earning five out of five stars for safety features from the NHTSA, the 2022 Toyota Avalon has all the mandatory safety features a modern driver would expect to be standard, plus a rearview camera, adaptive cruise control, automatic high-beam headlights, road sign recognition, and more. The available advanced safety features include adaptive headlights, a head-up display, parking sensors, and a surround-view parking camera system.
