Good morning guys! So we actually filmed this vehicle a couple months ago before Toyota announced they were killing it after 2022. Pick one of these up while you can. Think of the TRD version to be the final hurrah to the Avalon name. Will you miss it? We’re going to miss the big flagship sedans, this was one of the last ones 😢

I recently saw one on the road and was surprised, I actually found the front end to look a lot better than I expected, especially in a all black color

That’s a face only a Mother could love.

Still looks better than the new BMW front end 😂

Love or hate the styling, what you cant argue is that this is a bad car. Is it a sports car? No, no it is not. But otherwise this is a fantastic car. The sound system is fantastic, the ride is smooth and quiet, and it is very very comfortable even in long drives, its got a good amount of room and it's been rock solid reliable. I dont regret buying one of these one bit.

I’m so sad to see the Avalon leave the Toyota lineup but I guess that will benefit the Camry and Corolla which is great! The Corolla could use a upgrade!

Hands down my favorite sedan in the Toyota line up. Sad to see it go but hopefully it means the next gen camry will get more love.

Bro im a german viewer of your content and watching your videos a long time now. In my opinion this is one of the sexiest front end i have seen on cars you will never find such a design on the german competitors

It's a shame that Toyota is discontinuing this car, but I understand why. The ES and the avalon have been the same car for a long time.

Sad to see the Avalon go I really liked the Touring and Limited.

Good to see you looking happy these days, keep up the great work!

I have a 2011 Avalon in white. So luxury and smooth power and Toyota reliability. 10 yrs old only thing I done is maintenance and brakes

Personally, I love the front end of the Avalon. I'm just more into the Touring trim than the TRD. It has the best combination of sporty handling and comfort.

note that the Touring edition is the only trim that has SPORT+, whereas the TRD is capped at just SPORT.

Sad to see it go. People who will buy this generation will have a legendary car on their hands. It will be worth a fortune used overtime just like legendary Toyota Cressida that started the Lexus line.

The Avalon is too good of a sedan, Toyota really needs to rethink there decision about discontinuing this car.

You give the best, most professional, informative reviews I’ve ever seen! Car & Driver, Consumer Reports, some major service needs to recruit you!

I agree. The front end is just completely over styled and not in a good way. But I like the Avalon in general because they are reliable, comfortable and well equipped at 4/5 the price of a Lexus ES350. It's sad to see the Avalon go, but I'm afraid no one is going to miss it.

I completely agree with The avalon's front grille and how on the TRD trim there's not enough performance instead of just appearance. I think on the front end they could have gotten more inspiration from Lexus and that would have made the front end look a lot better and under the hood at least a cold air intake could have been added along with maybe a remapping of the ECM which could have been done to make the car a little more performance oriented..

This generation avalon will forever be remembered. It's a great car.

The red seat belt comment was absolutely hilarious 😂

Say what you want but the looks you get from others when you pull up in one of these speaks for itself. I’ve had my 2021 touring for about a month now and I get compliments from everyone on a daily basis. I’m also 27 lol.

They should turn the Avalon into a Avalon wagon like the Mazda 6 wagon in Europe,imagine a full-size wagon Avalon so much room and interior space would be sexy and make sense for a full-size !

The front end looks like the Predator when he gets pissed and screams at Arnold Schwarzenegger.

I'd like to buy $50 worth of whatever it is that the Toyota and Lexus stylists are smokin...

Not many buy the Avalon , not surprise at all to see it got discontinued

Welcome to the club. Still cant get over them (Lexus) cancelling the GS, but I understand it from business point. I can't drive a fwd anymore, so ES is definitely a no no.

My best friend bought a 2021 Limited Hybrid and it is definitely a budget Lexus. For its price point, it’s a very boujee car. One night we got 86 MPG while just cruising around for fun. Very solid vehicle👍🏻

Almost bought one, but the TRD front end is just a bit too over the top for me.

Now the design of this is starting growing on me, and Toyota decided to discontinue this😖

Great review...very indepth! This was like reading the manual but more fun :) Do people even read manuals anymore though...lol. Great job on your video :)

I really believe the Avalon would've been more successful if for not such a polarizing mug. It is a better buy than the ES350 in top trim and it is surprisingly sporty for a FWD large car. A pity Toyota didn't give it a refresh prior to killing it.

1st finally love your videos so much I've watched at least all of your videos 3 times

After owning a XSE camry with the 2 Tone. Red seats. I prefer the Avalon it was super roomy and sleeker. This avalon makes up for what the camry used to be. I have 2014,2018 camrys and big difference in cabin space. The new ones shrunk alot like the Tundra and Sequoia.

So sad to see the Avalon go. But that grill...

Oh wow, I didn't know Toyota was killing the Avalon. Make me sad but also I suppose it makes sense. I wanted an Avalon in 2019 but it sort of made no sense to me as it shares the same engine as the ES and the Camry, and the Camry had the pano sunroof. I hope they put shift some of the luxury to the Camry in their new lineup next year.

can't wait for your 22 bmw X3 review!

Great review, have you sold your RAV4 yet? What are going to replace it with? I can see why this is going away, I don't see the value in this being 43grand.

"Old people" " Old people". You're talking about the only people that can afford this car. Wise up son

Man such a beautiful flagship Thsts going away. One day. I will get my hands on that beautiful Avalon TRD. I’m super sonic red. It’s still a must have 😍😍😍😍😍 That front end is a beast lookin design and I love that super aggressive look For $40k+, I’d still go for that beauty and a beast Toyota Avalon TRD. It’s still a must have 😍😍😍😍😍

I am really sad to see the Avalon go but I guess one good thing that will come out of the Avalon being discontinued is the Camry will go more up market for the next redesign

How does the ride compared to the Nissan Maxima Sr I had one two years ago and I had to get rid of it cuz it rode like a brick but I know Toyota has a much higher resale I was considering that but I don't want to run into the same problem and be upside down with negative equity again

With the Michelin MXV4 OEM tires my Mother’s 2016 is a dream to drive. Quibble if you must. Toyota went after BMW with the Avalon. Drove my Mom’s Avalon and a dealer’s 328i with tranny in “Sport” mode: rode the same to me. I own a ‘07 6 speed Mazda MX5 Sport, still runs like a top on 17” Michelin Super Sport tires; owned an ‘89 Pontiac Formula 350 TPI, faster than a Corvette for ‘89. Not my first rodeo: Avalon is a fine driving vehicle.

Well that sucks, it's a good looking car.. but no worries just like the rest of the best known names they will make a suv cross version bc they have no creativity.. lol

The full size non luxury sedan segment is gone except for Dodge and Chrysler it makes sense they're ending production

I love the front grille😍 but that wheel spin had me rolling 😂😂😂😂

I think it'll make a great used car 10 years from now.

Awwww man keep the Avalon alive!!! Loved mine 🙏🏾

I like this car in all black with the license plate in the middle of this massive grill. Black with a license plate tones down the GAPPING front end enough to make it look pretty good. Every other color forces the grill to be the life of the party.

From the side profile and rear this thing is pretty sexy Especially in the TRD package. This could have been the best looking large Japanese sedan on sale but the grill only looks good on dark colors.

I agree completely. Awesome great car. Too expensive and that grill is just waiting to get damaged and cost you a small fortune to repair.

You called a brand new car that the front end looks like it went through an accident! ! Absolutely true!

I love the front end ❤

Love it Sofyan! More Toyota's! I've been patiently waiting

The price of Avalons are about to go up even more now.

I like the front end of this particular model. I like the maroon color even more with that front end.

does the trd model beep when you get to close to an object while parking?

I just saw one for the first time today while out and about and said "WOW!" Do they make an aftermarket supercharger for that vehicle/engine? I highly disagree with you on making an all-wheel drive version, then you have to worry about having to replace all 4 tires if one goes bad. Me personally, I'd get rid of the sun roof. It's just something that can big problems if it starts leaking. But what if you can get that different trim car (XLE) instead of the TRD and just add the TRD wheels and TRD exhaust? I think that'd be awesome...oh, and no sunroof...😀 By the way, great video!

Beautiful and stunning vehicle! With the money! Best resale value! 💖💖😎😎😎☝️

The Camry is about to go up market. Now they are going to start getting more plush interiors

I love this Avalon but the front end needs a tone down. Everything else with the car is awesome

That grille is so cartoonishly exaggerated...its beautiful

Like the Lexus GS, definitely a great car but canniablise other more popular products like the Camry, ES, SUV....etc. Very sad fact that the best engineering got beaten by financial reality!!! Consumers appreciate but won't forgive. Still, thank you for uploading redline!!!!

Delete the bottom 2/3 of the grill and you will have a good looking appearance package. Toyota purposely doesn't want this to be a genuine sports sedan.

I absolutely lost it when he said “seat belts give 5hp” hahahahahahaha

Grill is awesome, you are tripping

Wonder which car matches up with the Avalon in its class?

It is a nice avalon I love the 2022 Honda Civic Sport too but when u said the msrp for the Avalon Sport WOAH. 😟

Ok how does this car stack against a Accord Touring with that 2.0t?

Did I miss the cornering / body roll test? Would be nice to get an idea of how this handles.

Looks good bro

Love it 🔥😎

The front end looks soo good to me

Been inside one and drove it. It’s decent at best, there’s a lot of cheap plastics and parts on this car. This car would be a good daily that you can abuse and get dirty. Acceleration is a bit laggy but it goes.

The Avalon is great reliable comfortable car

I bet if they could have added AWD to the V6 it would received a "few" more lookers. However that engineering redesign would have been cost prohibitive. If they wouldn't do it for the Camry the sure ain't doing it here.

What if i liked the smoothness of the old avalons?

Bought one when I turned 25, and haven’t looked back.. a hint of performance and reliability is all that I need although an AWD would be preferable if you live in a rainy/snowy environment.

Omg, granny on steroids 🥳🥳🤭; loved the 4th gen 😍😍

I saw 1 of these at the light 2days ago and all I could do was laugh, I once owned a 2006 limited model which was a great car then.

Is it me or does TRD refuse to sell engine upgrades like the supercharger from years ago....

i thought this was nice, but then i realized you can get a TLX with Aspec package for just a little more.

All it needed was some AWD.

The front grill looks like a basking shark tbh

If only for the sake of making it truly unique I really wished they had pumped up the horsepower and torque just a little just to truly make it special.

My advice: get the black color. It will look like a true batmobile with the grill, which I actually like..

Used car market gem IMHO waiting til im ready to pull the trigger, I'll just update the screen and speakers gtg

That front should have never made it out of the design room. As a massive Toyota fan, this is a big bummer. The rest of the car is so sharp.

I wonder if this will comeback as a suv or maybe as a sedan maybe electrified wether it be battery or hydrogen

ugh...why do folks turn off traction control when testing fwd vehicles.

Nice but the front grill is over kill. It looks too busy.

I always thought the TRD Avalon looked awesome, especially in person.

The front end looks like the Predators face..........Αnd i dig it

I like the grill

Need to put the 5.0 V8 in the TRD Avalon and 4WD!

Not words to describe the front end ,that is a big deal ,make that car impresentable

There is to much stress put on the front wheels. I understand Toyota wanted to keep the powertrain simple and AWD would make it more expensive but there is a reason why buyers are going to Subaru, they don't have to worry about which trim has AWD. Toyota please listen to your customers, especially journalist.

Predator inspired front fascia 👍

If they ditched the grille "wings" I think it'd look better

I have 2019 Toyota limited. It’s a beast. I can easily smoke any car on the road except tesla model S
