My 2000 Avalon still running today with zero issues. 320,000 miles. I put a Whiteline sway bar to keep the body roll but i love big body cars with room and some decent speed (which is why i also got an LS460). For this price, AVALON has come a VERY LONG WAY! GO AVALON!

When you guys developed TRD, the engine must be stronger and powerful than the regular one. Upgrading little exterior and interior will not work. Make the engine powerful. Thanks

I have a 2015 Camry XSE V6. You'll pry that engine out of my cold dead hands. Plenty of power, silky smooth, and absolutely bulletproof. The updated version with D4-S is even better and I look forward to owning one. Far more refined than any turbo 4.

For 45k I’d rather just buy a Lexus.

I purchased a 2020 Avalon TRD preowned before the car storage for 32K with only 10K miles. I got an awesome deal!

Finally someone that does a good review on this car and actually understands it! Good one ben!!

For 45k I’d rather just buy 100 Avalon grills and have a giant cookout...

I love these cars like this! Brilliant job Ben.

I really like the spoiler on the Camry. But the reason I would choose the Avalon over the Camry is because the Avalon has gps built in already and the audio screen it way bigger and better. Nice review thanks. I love the sound of the car when it cranks up.

The word sports car is over used

man i love these new cars, it keeps getting better and better

I am in love great job going over all the features! My 2005 Avalon saved my husband's life we were so happy with the car I went and got a 2006 being that's what we could afford but next I want the 2011. I highly recommend this vehicle to newly driving kids.

I got this car 2 days ago and I absolutely LOVE IT! I got it in black!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🤎🤎🤎

The sound though .. soooooo goooood!!!🔥🔥👍

I like it, does it have front/rear parking sensors? I thought I saw some in the front bumper..

Really good looking car. Obviously it's a better car than the Camry but with it's price tag it should be RWD or AWD. Especially when they're using TRD upgrades.

WOW this is my favorite if not the only one i must have now Toyota

If it had some engine upgrades and AWD. It would be a solid car.

That beautoful V6. Btw, congrats to Toyota for 2 consecutive wins at Le Mans!

Straight to the point! Thank you!

@Ben Hardy. I am really torn in between in getting the avalon TRD or the Touring, I have the xse camry right now, I kinda want to switch it up.

There both equal. But a little more yes. That Avalon TRD is a must 😍😍😍 I’d be more than happy to own this one day. All it needs is a 31” cherry bomb glasspack and put were the oem resonator is, a nice AEM/INJEN cold air intake system, and if whipple/stillen supercharger company has made for this Avalon’s 2GR, or vortech, it be the ultimate sports sedan. Possibly 430 hp and 335 ibs pounds of torque😎😎😎😎

Love my Avalon TRD in silver. The amounts of compliments and looks i get is unbelievable.

The interior looks wonderful, howver the exterior not. The camry T R D looks allot sportier and better. 😉

Toyota 'RACING' Development. Has same engine as the base model.

This car is so beautiful 😍

Ben Hardy Just noticed you passed by a Lexus dealership when you went on your test drive you should go there and review the 2020 Lexus ES 350 F Sport nobody has done a good review on it plus it's their number one selling car I just recommend you do a review on one that is fully loaded with the circuit red interior plus I see that you like doing reviews on black cars and their black obsidian has a nice midnight gloss shine to it by the way great car review.

Holy cow...... As soon as I hit the lottery I'll buy one. For now I am more than happy with my stock 2006 Avalon XLS.

45K NO AWD/RWD no thank you

I used to own one of these gen avalons and in my opinion I think the car would be better if it was focused on ride quality instead of trying to be sporty. The car sits too low and you feel everything on the road. Someone needs to make a car that rides like a boat, especially these days with all the crappy roads.

I wish you could test the exhaust notes in eco mode to see how comfortable it is and in sport mode to compare and also the acceleration in sport mode to see how the TRD is better than the stock, other than that it's a great review, thank you, i subscribed

I love this car so much but I wish it had the updated lighting and the tan interior found in the Limited trim

I love the Avalon, guess Toyota's keeping it the same for '20, along with the Camry, 4Runner, Tacoma, Sequoia and Tundra.

I think its cool what they did with the Avalon and Camry TRD. The engine is enough for most people that would consider buying this car and it is definitely more for the look and driving dynamics... but that being said... the seats both in this and the Camry have literally no bolstering/lateral support. Who cares if the car handles better if you're going to be tossed all over the place anyway?

5:50 I have seen it called Radar Cruise Control, Adaptive Cruise Control but never Trip Collision. I have seen you reference it that on Taco review as well.

Sounds & looks great! Like some other comments, I think for 45k AND being a special TRD, there should be more horses under the hood than the base Avalon.

The best car in 2020 the top one ☝️ 🎶☄️

omg this is beautiful

Wow, it's a sweet and wonderful job, good luck darling

Honda has some mysterious racing division too. They only give the Fit a badge and some red floor mats.

9:33 on how the car sounds. Enjoy

good review. i like the trd avalon more than the trd camry

They are making a Camry all wheel drive now , yay , can't wait to buy it .

I saw this car in the dealership and loved it

Waiting for the yaris trd

I love the Avalon

What was the flashing green lights on the dash?

Pretty sick. That exhuast sounds sweet.

It should’ve came with a more powerful engine instead of the same v6 in the Camry for a heavy car🤷🏻‍♂️

Ugh I really want one now!

Wait does the avalon had remote start from the key or is it just available on the TRD??

Tengo un camry 2014 lo apague unos minutos y ya no quiso prender, solo prendia el tablero y la alarma ya no le pone los seguros solo los quita y no me abre ya la cajuela con el control, que puede ser

Darn I wish I had the money for one of these!

The wheel / tire combo looks too small and narrow

Looks so much better than the Camry!! The Camrys front end is so busy! When I see this car on the road it reminds me of a Lexus.

Does the gauges looks like the same on the 2019 and 18?

“Yeah..... everything come to life” idk why that was so funny

Watching my dreams' car

This car looks beautiful in person!

How did he do the auto start from the fob?

I work at the plant that builds these cars. TMMK in Kentucky. It’s the same as a regular Camry/Avalon just different badges and double the price... 🤷🏻‍♂️

Though many may find it cool, i find all the red stitching a tad bit too tacky, especially on the carpets

Does this compete with the Kia Stinger or Genesis G70? If it did, I'd go for either of those Korean cars than this Toyota in terms of styling, feature and performance. That said, it would be nice if you can mention its competitors in your reviews so viewers can compare them.

Needs a higher flowing exhaust( I know it is higher flowing than a normal Avalon already), cold.air intake and at least a mild tune.

Unless you get a good deal, with destination and dealership scalping fee, it will be closer to $50K, especially where I live in Honolulu. The TRD is based on the XSE trim, so it has most of the options available. The styling is much nicer than the Camry TRD, which is more mainstream, and based on the SE trim with a V6, to be more affordable. The Avalon TRD is expensive and big, but if that's what you want, and can afford it, you probably are not concerned about the price. So many people say the Camry and Avalon TRD should have more power, but they would probably not be intending to buy it anyway, and many, without professional driver training could not handle it, though with the suspension and bracing set up, it is much more easier to keep under control. The interior is nice, especially the seats, but the stereo design does not allow for the JBL sound system with the CD player, which is included with the Camry TRD if you get one with the option package. With that said, I will opt for the Camry TRD with the option package if I can get it, as the size is more to my liking, and more affordable. I wish the rear seat could fold down, but I can live with that, and the XSE features that's not available on the TRD. At first, I did not like the big rear spoiler, or the red striped pattern of the seats, but it grew on me, and I like it now. I just wish they included the fog lights from the Camry Nightshade SE XP Edition. Toyota got it right for both the Camry and Avalon TRD, with the aesthetics, reliable N/A V6, exhaust, chassis, suspension and brake modifications. For those that criticize it, they haven't drove it, and what they want is probably more in line with a Honda Civic Type R, or Subaru WRX STi, which is not the type of vehicle these were intended to be.

What's the target market for this car? Old guys who have money but don't want to buy a Lexus and still want a little swagger?

nice job bro thank you

hows the handling in the rain ..?

This man didn’t let the engine warm up

So basically a Camry Xse with a slightly different body

Great Car from Toyota🇯🇵👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I love the exterior. But I just cannot get use to the tombstone like center console.

Вы слышали с каким звуком двери открываются? 🤦🏻‍♂️Фольга. 4:43

I like the look of the Camry but the size and room of the Avalon. But just like the Camry Toyota needs to get with Subaru and use there awd system with this v6 engine 300hp is way to much on fwd too much torque steer. Toyota get Subaru awd system and there wont be a better vehicle line up you'll have one of the best awd systems on the market linked with the best car maker and engine builder talk about reliability and fun....

Hey ben does that Avalon have the option where you can roll the windows down with the key fob

Gorgeous

lol, the 'exhaust'. It's exhaust noise sent through the speaker system.

I like the interior more than the Camry....

Great review! Nice car, but I have a couple of issues. I contacted Toyota numerous of times about the Camry and Avalon. They do listen, but only apply a little. They tease us. I asked for the HP and TQ to be increased. It was, but only to 301/267. Make them both the same and higher. Don't lower the torque. I recommended that the exterior and interior get a sportier look. They did well on that. I asked for a TRD supercharger or turbocharger but got nothing on that. They do have a supercharger for the overseas cars. The reason they are not doing too many upgrades is because they do not want to out-do the Lexus brand. People always making comments saying you might as well get a Lexus if you want all that. No, I want a Camry or Avalon that's like that. I love the 2002 Toyota 4Runner style and wanted it to be more powerful. I thought the new style starting at 2003 was ok, but the body style did not appeal to me. Even though it had more horsepower and torque, I still would have chosen the 2002 model. Some people prefer a certain body style while others may prefer a powerful engine. I prefer both. Toyota and TRD can do better.

Followin' u from iraq Good job

same POS transmission as Camry?????

الله يرزقني يارب 40 ادعولي😍

It looks fast, but it's just a regular Avalon with a body kit and some slightly firmer springs.

I hope they do a whole allot more when they redesign the TUNDRA TRD ITS OLD N TIERED

I wish Avalon was still luxury indeed l instead of sport

$45K for TRD badges and red seat belts.

Good luck finding reasonable 19" tires. I think you can find more options in the 20" but not an option for the TRD or Touring trim. If you want a softer ride go down in the wheel diameter.

I wonder how many steaks you can cook on that grill 😂 gotta admit, I did test drive this thing and it’s a smooth ride with a nice kick. Looks way better in person and it’s super luxurious

So now Toyota is slapping TRD badges on all their line up and charge an extra $5-10k?

Camry Exterior Avalon Interior Perfect blend for me...

Why does water drip from the exhaust when Reving it or turning it on?

Loved the 06 Avalon was deff a sleeper;)

TOYOTA!!! BRING THIS CAR TO AUSTRALIA :-(

They should have just supercharged it

I think the 2005-08 was the best body style I like when Avalon focused more on luxury comfortable ride rather then a sporty look my personal opinion.

So so sweet!!!

For 45K I’d rather get a Dodge Charger scat pack. It’s comes standard with a v8 and around 430 HP

Can someone please tell me how red trim adds 5 hp. 🤔

interior looks like similar a lil bit on 10thgen black honda civic si like the streering wheel, colors and the front of the passenger seats styles lol

So archers add horse power really, I thought would be more stable and aerodynamic better handling .
