What's new
- The Toyota Avalon Hybrid has been fully redesigned for 2019
- Part of the fifth Avalon generation introduced for 2019
SUVs have been dominating the market recently to that point that Ford recently announced it was going to largely give up on making sedans. But there is one area where the traditional four-door holds an advantage: hybrid efficiency. The latest hybrid sedans are posting truly impressive fuel economy, and a great example is the fully redesigned 2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid.

The Avalon Hybrid debuts alongside the conventionally powered Avalon and is estimated by the EPA to return up to 44 mpg in combined driving. That's almost 70 percent better than the gasoline-only Avalon, yet the Hybrid costs only about $1,000 more. With what you'll save on gas, you could very well recoup that added cost in just over a year and continue to reap the rewards thereafter. From behind the wheel, the Hybrid's power deficit isn't as much of a penalty as the numbers suggest, making it our pick in the Avalon lineup.
The 2019 Avalon Hybrid won't force sacrifices elsewhere either. The hybrid batteries are mounted under the rear seats, maintaining the same trunk capacity as the conventional Avalon while keeping the flat-folding rear seatbacks for greater versatility. Both offer high levels of comfort and plenty of features and blur the line between Toyota and its Lexus luxury brand.
If you're in the market for a large sedan, the 2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid should be among your top picks whether or not you're looking for a hybrid.
Edmunds' Expert Rating
Even though sedans are being overshadowed by SUVs, Toyota's all-new 2019 Avalon Hybrid has the potential to shine. It has plenty of room, it's impressively efficient, and it has the kind of features and refinement to compete with more expensive luxury models.
Trim tested
Each vehicle typically comes in multiple versions that are fundamentally similar. The ratings in this review are based on our first drive of the 2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid (2.5L inline-4 hybrid | CVT automatic | FWD).
Driving
The Avalon Hybrid has more than enough power to get up to highway speeds without laboring. And as big sedans go — or big hybrid sedans, for that matter — the Avalon is respectably buttoned-down when driving around turns.
Comfort
Both the suspension and the seats are designed with comfort in mind. Ruts and bumps are smoothed over well, and the cabin remains pleasantly quiet on the highway. The front seats are pleasantly comfortable, with little side bolstering for easy entry and exit.
Interior
The cockpit is attractive and fitted with high-quality materials, though the blocky center stack looks a little out of place. But the sunroof that is standard on all but the base Avalon does cut into headroom.
Technology
Apple CarPlay finally makes it into a Toyota with this Avalon. Unfortunately, Android Auto is still absent and the built-in Entune infotainment system remains as one of the least intuitive in the industry. On the upside, the Avalon Hybrid has plenty of standard driver safety aids.
Which Avalon Hybrid does Edmunds recommend?
The 2019 Toyota Avalon in Limited trim should satisfy the typical large-sedan buyer. It forgoes the sporty touches of the XSE model in favor of more Lexus-like luxurious refinement. It's also the only trim eligible for rear parking sensors with cross-traffic braking and a surround-view camera.
2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid models
The all-new 2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid is classified as a midsize sedan by the EPA, but we consider it more of a full-size sedan. It is available in XLE, Limited and XSE trims. Power is derived from a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that is supported by two electric motors. The combined output of 215 horsepower is channeled through a continuously variable automatic transmission to drive the front wheels.
Standard features for the base XLE include 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic LED headlights, heated mirrors, keyless entry and ignition, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated and power-adjustable front seats, simulated leather upholstery, 60/40-split folding rear seats and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.
On the technology front, the XLE comes with Bluetooth, a Wi-Fi hotspot, Toyota's Safety Connect communications, a 9-inch touchscreen, a rearview camera, Toyota's Entune infotainment system with smartphone-based navigation, four USB ports, Apple CarPlay, and an eight-speaker audio system with satellite and HD radio.
Also included is Toyota's Safety Sense suite of advanced safety features (forward collision warning with automatic braking, lane keeping assist, automatic high beams and adaptive cruise control) as well as a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert.
The Limited trim adds 18-inch wheels, upgraded exterior lighting, a sunroof, a head-up display, leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, driver-seat memory settings, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, wood interior trim, ambient interior lighting, a wireless charging pad, a built-in navigation system and a 14-speaker premium JBL audio system.
The sporty XSE trim builds on the XLE's features with 18-inch wheels, piano black exterior treatments, a rear spoiler, a sunroof, paddle shifters, aluminum pedal covers, aluminum interior trim and microsuede seat inserts.
Some of features on the Limited are available on the other trims as options. An Advanced Safety package with a surround-view parking camera system and rear parking sensors with automatic braking is optional on the Limited.

Owners' Opinions
What Owners Like
Owners of the 2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid are consistently impressed by its remarkable fuel efficiency, with many highlighting their experiences of achieving close to or even surpassing the EPA-rated 44 mpg. The smooth and comfortable ride quality receives frequent praise, often compared favorably to luxury sedan brands like Lexus, which is unsurprising given the quality of materials and the upscale cabin design. The hybrid's performance doesn't go unnoticed, as several owners mention the Avalon Hybrid's excellent torque that provides satisfying acceleration, making highway merges and overtakes a breeze. The vehicle’s advanced safety technology, including features like radar cruise control and heads-up display, enhances driver confidence and security, often being credited with preventing close calls on the road. The Avalon Hybrid surprises many with its quiet ride, even at high speeds, and its ability to handle long drives with ease, providing the kind of comfort that allows drivers to emerge from multi-hour road trips without fatigue. The ventilated leather seats score high marks for keeping occupants cool in summer heat and the cabin blissfully warm in winter months. Owners frequently appreciate the Avalon’s spaciousness, especially in the back seat, where passengers enjoy abundant legroom. Drivers find the adaptive cruise control particularly effective, allowing the car to glide smoothly in and out of heavy traffic without driver intervention, which significantly reduces the stress of urban driving. While the mid-sized sedan exudes understated elegance, its head-turning exterior garners plenty of compliments, dispelling any notions that hybrids can't be stylish. The technological features integrate seamlessly into the driving experience, with Apple CarPlay receiving numerous nods for enhancing connectivity without fuss, although owners look forward to promised Android Auto updates. In terms of practicality, the Avalon Hybrid offers ample trunk space, which remains unaffected by the hybrid battery placement, supporting owners’ diverse lifestyle needs. Overall, the blend of efficiency, luxury-like comfort, ample technology, and thoughtful design reinforce why the Avalon Hybrid is praised as a leading choice amongst large sedans.
Common Issues
Owners of the 2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid frequently express frustration with its infotainment system, particularly the laggy and cumbersome Entune interface, which detracts from the otherwise sophisticated driving experience. The absence of Android Auto support is another common complaint, leaving some drivers dissatisfied with the connectivity options. Taller drivers report discomfort due to limited headroom, especially in models equipped with a sunroof, as it often reduces clearance and can lead to awkward driving postures over longer distances. Additionally, the center console design receives criticism for its space constraints, which can impinge on knee space and result in an uncomfortable seating position during extended drives. Navigating the vehicle in tight spaces can trigger the parking sensors prematurely, an issue owners face when squeezing into compact garages or parking spots, which can be more of an annoyance than a helpful aid. Some drivers highlight a concerning issue with the fuel system, where filling the gas tank can become problematic, with reports of fuel spilling or the tank failing to fill completely due to sensor malfunctions, particularly in colder weather. The cabin's interior design, although luxurious, is sometimes viewed as impractical, with certain owners desiring more storage options and larger compartments for everyday items. Standard tires, too, have been critiqued for their performance on wet and slick roads, prompting suggestions for replacement with better-rated all-season alternatives for improved safety. The Avalon Hybrid's ride height can make getting in and out of the vehicle awkward for some, requiring extra caution to avoid bumping heads on the door frame. Even with various advanced features, some owners note inconsistencies with the lane departure assistance system, which can be unreliable and less intuitive than expected. Despite being a technologically advanced vehicle, the occasional freezing or rebooting of the central display leads to frustrations, as it disrupts navigation and entertainment functions when on the go. All these concerns underscore areas where improvement could enhance the overall satisfaction of this otherwise well-regarded hybrid sedan.
Final Takeaways from Everyday Drivers
The 2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid undeniably delivers strong day-to-day satisfaction for many of its drivers, with its exceptional fuel economy frequently emerging as a standout feature, especially during long highway drives where it often exceeds expectations. The spacious interior garners appreciable praise, offering ample room for both front and rear passengers and allowing for comfortable seating during hours-long journeys. While the smooth, quiet driving experience is a big hit among owners who value serenity on the road, it’s the integration of safety features, like adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring, that boosts driver confidence and reduces anxiety in dense traffic. Yet, some drivers note that the vehicle’s infotainment system requires more reliability and user-friendly updates to match its otherwise high standards. Owners appreciate the hybrid's balance of eco-friendly performance with the luxury comforts expected from a top-tier sedan, even though a few tweaks in design could further enhance usability. The unpleasant challenges with filling the fuel tank in extreme cold highlight a rare but notable hiccup in everyday functionality. Drivers also admire the Avalon Hybrid's long-term reliability, indispensable for those accustomed to Toyota's reputation for durability, which assures them of lasting performance far into the future. Despite minor connectivity shortfalls and quirks with tech systems, this sedan is seen as a steadfast, versatile companion for diverse driving needs. Drivers report that handling urban commutes, interstate travel, and all the stops in between becomes a joy with the Avalon Hybrid’s design focused on comfort and ease. Observations about improved headroom and tire performance suggest drivers are eager for an even more refined experience. Ultimately, for many, the Avalon Hybrid is a hybrid sedan that meets high expectations, supporting the everyday routines and adventures of a varied range of drivers, whichellten.

Technology and Comfort with Hybrid Efficiency
5 out of 5 starsCalifornian, 07/05/2019
2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid Limited 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
When technology and comfort come together, you have a really great vehicle to drive. Fitting a car to drivers 6-1 and 5-3 is not easy, but the number of memorized adjustments that the Avalon Limited’s front seats, wheel, lumbar support, and mirrors have, make it easy. I would prefer another inch or so of headroom under the sunroof as having only an inch and a half feels a bit tight. The … perforated leather upholstery with air blown through it on a warm afternoon is great to cool any hot spots that different sized drivers can develop. The seats heat up rapidly in cold weather too.
On the highway this car is a dream. Following the advice I received on my test drive, I set the adaptive cruise control on 75 and glide down the highway. If traffic slows or stops, so does the car, and then it accelerates right back up to 75. When traffic is light the car gets 43mpg at a steady 75 and in heavier traffic it gets a rather amazing 47mpg. Around Southern California the hybrid gets an average of 46mpg. Considering its size this is amazing.
Having had two conventional gas powered Avalons and a Lexus ES, this 2019 Limited Hybrid is the best of the bunch. It is longer, lower, and wider than my prior highway cruisers; however, the built-in safety equipment has spared me from any parking lot close calls. Gotta love the birds-eye 360 degree view camera display. Along with heads-up display projected onto the windshield, it’s more like the cockpit of a plane than a highway cruiser. You don’t have to look around the cabin to check on the status of any of the car’s main systems or settings as well as the posted speed limit or the next turn on the GPS.
Technology wise it is amazing, but the tech does come at a price. There are over 1,000 pages of manuals that come with the car. After half a year, I have made it through about 700 pages. Although my car came with Apple Car Play, I was told that there will be a free download of Android Auto when it is available. In the meantime, any good cell phone working with the built-in Entune Premium system works quite well if you read the Entune manual. There is much more to many of the Entune systems than what you are presented with on the two main screens, driver and center console.
Only items I would change would be equipping the 18" chrome wheels with a good set of Michelins and giving the front seats a bit more headroom. After driving this car for ten months, I don't notice the low headroom like I did initially and have to rate the driver comfort as excellent.
UPDATE AT 18 MONTHS AND 20K MILES -
The car continues to be my favorite having had two previous Avalons and a Lexus ES, but two future problems have appered. First I discovered that the factory installed maps are a May 2018 version and can only be updated by the dealer. As the car is in warranty, I will have this done at the 2 year service, but with all of the electronics and internet connectivity something as basic as maps should automatically update through the data link in the car. Like most hybrids the mileage has dropped 2 mpg with use but that was expected and will likely continue to drop as the traction battery slowly wears out.
With all of the safety features, I have yet to hit or scrape anything. However the car does go into emergency stop mode as I squeeze it into my garage parking place that has a storage rack right in front of the car.
Overall I give the car a 95% but suggest that the manufacturer fix the map issue and extend the warranty on the traction battery.
UPDATE 28 MONTHS AND 30K MILES
After battling with my local dealer and Toyota Corporate Customer Service, I was finally given an Entune update and new maps. The dealer appeared to have little knowledge of the Entune system requiring 2 overnight stays after the updating process failed. They claimed to have spent 12 hours on it each time it went in. Finally Toyota Corporate sent them, either electronically or physically a complete update that changed the display somewhat and updated the maps. Now my car GPS is about on a level with my 5 year old Garmin.
The Avalon Limited continues to run flawlessly on the road and the mileage has settled into the 43/44 range. I really enjoy the cool air that can be sent through the perforated leather seats on warm humid days.
UPDATE AT 40 MONTHS AND 42,000 MILES
The Avalon continues to be the best car I have ever owned in spite of the poor performance of the advanced Entune integrated electronics/GPS that came with the car. I routinely get 46mpg on my regular trips to/from our second home in the foothills. Sadly, I understand that Toyota is planning to discontinue the Avalon at the end of the product run this year due to lagging sales. I believe that the Toyota execs who stayed with the Entune system of the last half dozen years need to look into the mirror, and they will see the Avalon's killers when they do. The car would sell a lot better, if they had a decent electronics (I am not talking about safety electronics, just the audio/video and GPS).
I intend to keep my Avalon for another couple of years as long as it continues to perform as it has for the last almost 3 1/2 years, but when I get my next car will be forced to go back to a Lexus unless the Avalon is revived and will be open to other brands even though I have had a 7 straight vehicle run of Toyotas in my family.
Lexus luxury at a Toyota price
4 out of 5 starsJirrera, 11/23/2018
2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid Limited 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
I love this car the more I drive it. At first it felt a little too big compared to my 2012 Camry Hybrid, when I bought the Limited Hybrid in July 2018, but I’m over that. The Avalon handles beautifully on winding, hilly interstates and I love and now trust the safety features like dynamic cruise and 360 degree cameras. The Lane Departure Assistence, however is very inconsistent. The … collision avoidance has stopped at least three fender-benders in parking lots. Gas mileage has dropped (as is typical for current battery technology in cold weather) from a high of 43.6 mpg all-around, down to 41.3. I admit, I drive fast and not as economically as I could. One serious issue however, I found a puddle of gas under the car one morning (the tank hadn’t just been filled). I re-tightened the cap and the drip seemed to stop. Taking it back to the dealer they checked the entire fuel system and all fifteen internal computers but couldn’t find any leaks/error codes. Also I now have a faint yellow line from the filler door down to the wheel well where gas apparently ate through the Blizzard Pearl clear coat. Interior-wise the JBL sound system is simply the best I’ve ever experienced in any car. As an audio engineer, I find the bass amazingly present without over powering or masking the highs — and this is with the system set to factory defaults. The tweeters directly behind the front seats enhance the surround effect without sounding artificially compressed or otherwise processed. The only annoyance is on several occasions the navigation/entertainment touch screen has locked up. Only restarting the car fully restores it. I assume this is simply a software flaw that will be patched when enough other owners complain — as with Toyota adding Android Auto support. Finally, beware parking curbs with this Avalon. The bumper is particularly low in the front.
UPDATE 1 year later: All of the above positive driving experience remains true. However, still no Android Auto support. The above fuel leak turned out to be a factory recall issue for a defective gas filler tube and cap. The dealer replaced both at no charge and I've not experienced any leaks since. They also repainted the rear quarter panel so the yellow drip stripe is gone. Then, my Bluetooth mic stopped working and it turned out the issue was not the mic, but actually the entire Telematics unit which the dealer replaced at no charge -- which also resolved the above NAV/entertainment screen lockups. Finally, I had noticed a new creaking sound in the steering wheel when making left turns. (How's that for specific?) After much diagnosis and experimental repairs, the issue was determined to be a damaged bearing in the steering column, which again, the dealer replaced at no charge. I still love the car, chalking all these repair issues up to my ignoring the axiom that one should never purchase the first model year of any car after a redesign. The good news is I've gotten to be friends and appreciate the honest professionalism of Andrew Bartlett, service manager at Toyota of Murfreesboro. He's become the willing equivalent of a 12-step program sponsor. He gave me his cell number and I can call him any time!
Wow, 44mpg and technology from tomorrow
5 out of 5 starsJimS, 11/16/2018
2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid Limited 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
Just updated from a 2009 Limited to the hybrid limited w/ safety package, this is an amazing vehicle and a pleasure to drive. For low profile tires it rides well, but not like my older Avalon. And a bit more noise from the engine reving and tires but okay and the sound system is like home theatre. But what really sets this apart from my old car is the technology to make driving as safe … as it can be these days. The hud display on the window is my new friend, the dynamic cruise works great and hope not to test the front and rear emergency braking. Time will tell how reliable all this tech will be but I’m loving it right now.
The only issue is the height of the car, which makes getting in and out more awkward and have hit my head a couple times. Other issue is interior windows get a hazy film after several days when new. Hope it disappears like my sore neck from having to use my eyes as blindside and backup cameras on my previous Avalon.
Can’t fill up
5 out of 5 starsRickyD, 10/20/2018
2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid Limited 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
With only 2000 mi on the new Avalon, I have a fuel problem!!! I can’t get gas in the fuel tank, sounds crazy but when you are hundreds of mi from home and low on gas it’s a BIG problem! When I try to fill the car today the fill tube filled up to the cap very quickly (seconds), then it burped a bunch of gas out of the fill tube. the vent line then started to bubble with more fuel in my … face. No matter what speed I tried to add gas the problem persisted. It took 30 mins to add 3 gals of fuel so that we could get back home.. 3 gals got us a little above 1/2 tank.. love the car but would like to be able to add a little gas once in a while when i’m Getting a little low.
