For our Autobahn USA Dedham team, a full-size sedan gets our vote if it has great passenger room, cargo space, advanced safety features and trend-forward tech features. Most importantly, we worship stellar performance features. It's no surprise: the Toyota Avalon scores points in all of these key categories, especially the category of performance features.
Race Car Aerodynamics
Aerodynamics don't only apply to planes. They apply to cars, too. Great aerodynamics reduce drag and improve efficiency and handling. The Toyota Avalon achieves an estimated fuel economy of 32 mpg highway owing to its engine, transmission and superb aerodynamics. Its exterior boasts:
- Rear diffuser
- Rear spoiler
- Underbody panels
- Front bumper side tangential vents
Together, these features enable the Toyota Avalon to sail through the air with little drag. The result is supreme maneuverability and economy.
Highly Capable Engines
The Toyota Avalon's impressive engine lineup surpasses other rides on Dedham streets. There are two gas-powered options and one hybrid:
- 250-horsepower 2.5-liter I4
- 176-horsepower 2.5-liter Dynamic Force I4 DOHC
- 301-horsepower 3.o-liter V6
Variable Valve Timing and direct injection enhance each engine's power and efficiency, giving the Toyota Avalon a performance edge on a variety of terrains.
