I saw this car in person. I fell In love. At 26, I never thought I'd ever want an Avalon as bad as I want this one!!!

I have a 2014 Avalon that I've been very happy with. XLE model with sport package which gives it a very different look than the standard model. 19 inch BBS wheels, spoiler, pin striping. Since I've had it, I've only seen two other like it on the road. I've always been into more sporty cars, traded a 2008 Infiniti g37s for the Avalon. It has enough power for easy passing and I always keep it in sport mode. Super comfortable with lots of trunk space. Financed for 60 months at zero percent interest which was a big selling point. Seven more payments and I'm done. Plan on keeping it a while as I'm retired now and don't put many miles on it. I've only got 12,560 miles on it! It still has the new car smell inside. It's built in Lexington, KY and Toyota calls it the Lexington Lexus. The color is called sizzling crimson mica combined with an almond interior. Always get compliments on it. Sure, I'd like to get a new car when it's paid off but being on a fixed income and with so few miles, freeing up that payment is more important to me.

I’ve already put over 25k trouble free miles on my Avalon. The only problems I have had are ones I’ve caused myself (I’ve bent two rims from not being used to driving a vehicle with low profile tires) Aside from that, this is the most powerful and luxurious car I’ve ever owned even if it’s only a polished up Camry I would love another and I’m not even finished with my first one yet.

Not one major repair on my 2013 limited. Unbelievable car. Basic maintenance and great fuel mileage.

I am 40 years old and just ordered a 2014 Black Avalon with Almond interior. I take delivery of the car tomorrow and let me tell you that this car looks amazing in black with tinted windows and drives even better than it looks.

I’m seriously thinking about getting this car...

When Toyota tries, they end up with cool products like this Avalon. I'd get this over an ES even.

The best and most reliable reviews from John Davis Thank you so much.

Toyota you don't have to worry about making good car just look at all the Toyota you see so to me you doing good job.

0-60 is actually 6.1! A used 2013 limited trim just might be my next car!

We got our ‘13 Avalon about 4 yrs ago and love everything about it w/the exception of the BSM system, which has been a bit iiffy of late. Mileage is 32 on the road & 24 in town. It only has 78K but when it’s time for a new one we’ll get another Avalon.

Experts, Enthusiasts and owners KNOW Japanese vehicles LAST. You see tons of Toyota's with over 200k with NO REPAIRS, I had a 86 Accord I could shift without the clutch! scrapped it at 386k. STILL FELT SOLID! When you drive a new GM product right off the lot it's rattling and squeaking! I KNOW I had 6 within 5 years. ALWAYS IN THE SHOP! We KNOW imports last. But when Toyota can make a QUALITY car almost entirely in the US, and hire more Americans than any of the big 3, THAT'S WHAT I'M BUYING.

..and $2000 cheaper than last years model! Give me one of those!

very nice review

I’m 25 and I love my 2015 Limited

I'm loving the interior

I like the new thinking in the dashboard.

Looks good and now more luxurious. . Love Avalons

I have been in the same boat with you in regards to GM. Had 8 GM vehicles in about 9-years time, ranging from family sedans to the Suburban. They all had issues that ticked me off enough to sell it or trade it in towards another GM. Unfortunately, I had large discounts due to organizations, so I always looks at them first. Now, I simply don't care about the discounts offered. I've had 2 VWs and 4 Hondas that have been 100% problem free.

Super pretty car. Saw it and had to have it. Even Toyota was unable to improve upon this particular design. The 2013 Avalon and 2007 Camry were two landmark designs. Well done Toyota!!

Bought a new 2013 Avalon Touring based on this video but kinda wish I'd gone with the Limited vs the Touring. It's still a great car but looking at upgrading the sound system. Hadn't planned on going back to work overseas but I did and my car has just under 18,000 miles on the clock. Avalon for local trips, 2014 Lexus LS460L AWD for longer road trips. Not logical but what the heck.

Beautiful car

I have one. The downside is the driver seat is about as uncomfortable as it can get. The upside is the pickup, responsiveness, and mid-corner speed, with great grip in the turns. It gets about 20MPG realistically with combined (Highway and City) driving. If it wasn't for the backbreaker of a driver seat, I'd highly recommend this car.

Nice unbiased american-car lover. Looks (and from what it seems, also performs) better than Impalas and Malibus

Test drive it Saturday and it is a pretty great car, especially inside. Unlike the Lexus ES, you can get rear heated seats, which makes no damn sense. It this car had a heated steering wheel, it would be damn near perfect.

2:47 - I just drove my 2013 Avalon down I-95 yesterday :)

I like the 2013 Toyota Avalon but I love the 2010 Toyota Avalon at just look better to me I have a 2003 and it drives Good and it get up and Go with the 3.0 V6

Wow! This is quite a car! Very much like a BMW 7-Series in luxury and performance. I like it a lot. I know Honda/Acura, Nissan/Infinity, have nothing that compares to this high performance Hi-Lux car from Toyota. On top of the excellent workmanship, it returns over 31 mpgs! This is quite the deal. I like it!

Not bad Toyota. Keep up the good work!

Beautiful car, great job toyota..

I really like the aggressive-looking but the performance that what i am concern about

my dad said toyota is boring car, he bought them solely for it's reliability, the present camry was his third toyota.

i love it

It would've been nice if they didn't make the front look like the Camry

Are you sure, I asked the salesman and he said it did not and I can't find anywhere that says it does. If it did that would be great. For some reason the ES gets the heated steering wheel and the Avalon gets the heated rear seats, which makes no sense at all. Then you look at cars like the Inifiniti M and the same crap again, you can spend $70K on that car and still can't get heated rear seats.

You mean bench?

What is there to break on a new corolla? The ancient 4 speed transmission? The drum brakes? maybe that plastic interior? It would be hard to get into a crash because its not like it responds to your steering input. It like a sponge on wheels. an appliance. What Gm car did you even have?? An X-body that they were always in the shop? 20 years of GM and not a single shop visit. Not me or my many relatives. Some of them moved on to BMWs, and theirs are always in the shop lol

I love my 2001 Avalon XLS only problem is the vehicle dies after two day of sitting anyone know what it could be?

Want 1

I love this car the Toyota Avalon but I love the 2010

What's stopping you?

Great car

wait, isn't the Camry V6 faster?

This looks so much better than the Aussie version (Aurion). Disappointing for us.

Bro I want one of these as my first car

A sweet land boat

There are no such an options in the middle east specifications

Happy my friend’s parents have the previous generation in tan. Like it better. This one here looks too much like the camry.

I like the old model more

They should have made this the new Camry. It would rock. Then let the Avalon go full Lexus

reminds me of a sonata hybrid

Toyota recalls more often, and more cars at a time. Because they sell so much. My point was that Chevies are reliable. Isn't that a 4th gen camaro as your thumbnail?

not bad not bad.

i fuckz wit it

thats the beauty of personal opinions. I like the Avalon, you dont. You like the Impala, I dont. Life is good XD

You must be about 75 years old if you think so lol. Nobody thinks the previous generation Avalon's look good. LOTS of people love the 2013 Avalon, especially young people.

This car is definatly a looker, but the 2014 Impala has a better looking front end

2012 Avalon was the BEST one - The 2013 was too small on the inside.

Hi

This car looks way better than Passat or any of the european designs whatsoever, especially better than those Audis with a fron end like [=0=] !!!

I like this gen. Next gen of Avalon is ugly for me.(both interior and exterior)

He said welcome to the new world order of Avalon..sound like Toyota comercial

This is a first drive, not a test.

Why is Toyota still copying from Ford?... Like the back end though. We want to see a comparison test between the 2013 Avalon and the 2013 Taurus.

As compared to what? Then every other car in its class must be boring, too, because the vast majority of professional reviewers have said the opposite.

Beautiful looking car, but I wouldn't buy it for the simple reason that I think it's too long. About 3" shorter would do the trick. Shorter cars are back in vogue.

Am I the only one who thinks this car looks like a: Hyundai Sonata VW jetta/passat Ford (for the lower front grill)

i would pay 5 grand more to get the hybrid.

@ 1:36 "...best looking passenger car they've ever designed"??!? LMAO, that front is hideous!!!!!! But not gonna lie, the interior is really nice!

Have you even seen the 2014 impala? It looks a lot better than this.

Is it me, or did her say "although the B**** doesn't fold" at 3:33???

Looks like a hyundai accentsonataazera that had one too many cheeseburgers

Almost every automotive exterior and interior design teams are majority male designers.

looks like a Hyundai... And that is a compliment.

It looks like the new Ford.

If like to see the Azera, 2014 impala, and Avalon side by side. Also the Land Cruiser is toyotas flagship, not the Avalon.

Toyota recalls 780000 cars to fix suspension again!

Looks like a bottom feeder from the front.

Those heated/ventilated seat controls are horribly flimsy.

looks like nobody likes what Toyota makes, no matter how good they look and how good they are. So much hate ... this is an excellent car.

LMAO!! aarp of tradition

Not impressed at all, my 08 is better than this crap. Nice interior but that's it.

Horrible car do not buy it. VERY stiff and the navigation is like using computer from 1985...I loved my 2010 smooth soft ride, this is stiff and loud. I made big mistake buying 2013, should have got 2012.

I liked it enough to buy one:) Pictures at: flickr.com/photos/vonstringcaldinkal Skip

looks a little copy cat of Sonata

looks like sonata hybrid but worse,,,,

The front is horrid.

NISSAN MAXIMA LOOKING BETER

it looks hideous.

OMG the front of the Avalon is freaking hideous!!!!!!

Meh. I agree that it's better-looking than previous generations, but the new Avalon is still just one more bland Toyota sedan. The profile isn't bad, but it looks a bit like a bloated Mazda 6 to my eyes. Did anyone notice how the seat-heater adjustment knobs wobbled loosely in their housing at 3:10? I'd expect better in a car of this class and price.

Another ugly car from Toyota.

Its ugly, over priced rice burner, nice interor,but thats about it $31,000 Imagin that !!!
