My Second Avalon Hybrid is BETTER!

I originally had a 2106 Avalon Hybrid and was quite pleased with it. The mileage was close to advertised, but we live in mid-Michigan and between wind, hills, and the weather, you don't always hit the mark. Summers were around 39 mpg and winters around 35 mpg. That being said, the 2019 has a different electric motor configuration and it attains the mileage with greater ease. I had originally always drove it in the ECO mode until a recent trip to Florida I switched to standard mode. Through the mountains, a little over the speed limit the entire time, it averaged 41 mpg! In Florida, driving a little fast, it averaged 43.5 mpg. I am back a home and the first tank full leaving it in standard more was 43.7 mpg. There are some minor concerns as listed by others and one I have not seen. The radio did lock up once and I restarted the car it it never happened again. Just had the 20,000 mile service and they said they did an update. Putting gas in the car when the temp is freezing and the front detection camera was not working, it would not let me fill the tank with gas. Once the front camera was working, I could gas it up. This has occurred on 3 times, so it is not a fluke or one station in particular. I have told the dealer and waiting for a fix, but the weather has changed and it may be tougher to find. The USB for the CarPlay should be up front where you can lay your phone, not in the center armrest, or at least a second one up front. Last comment, the cup holders are a little too far back for a 6 foot tall person as it makes it awkward when two people are using them. Otherwise, the car does everything well it is claimed to and I love it!

The only thing that kept me from giving car 5 stars is still the memory seat function. Dealership can't figure out what is wrong. It will recall my seat memory, but my wife's memory seat position is hit and miss at best. Her seat most of the time doesn't move when the button is pushed. The mirrors and steering wheel move ok. I've been back twice and they are going to work on it when the head technology service man gets back from vacation. (10 more days) I know it sounds unprofessional but that's what it is. The car is great. We traded a 2016 lexus RX350 for this 2019 Avalon hybrid limited edition and have only lost a very little bit in ride quietness. If it wasn't for the memory seat function I would give this car five stars

I had three Prius Touring cars for commuting to work. Upon retirement I upgraded to the Avalon Limited Hybrid for the quiet - so my wife and I could more easily carry on a conversation while comfortably cruising the country. My MPG has averaged 46+ (50/50 70mph & 55 =- mph). Technology has been great. I’m 6’3” and headroom is fine once you get through the doorway. The gas engine does “grumble” a bit if accelerating hard, but this smooth ride is not about high performance and you hear nothing most of the time. The hybrid functionality is awesome. One gets no sense of changes from one motive source to the other or both. You never feel the gas engine stopping or starting once the car warms up. Luggage capacity is great and having the rear seats down makes it enormous. Plenty of room in the back seats, too. After 15,000 miles around the Southeast and in the mountains, I am so happy to own this stylish car. The maw of a grille is not my favorite feature but the rest of the styling is cool. Excellent machine that I highly recommend!
2020 Toyota Avalon Hybrid Limited is a great car

A very luxurious and comfortable car; very stylish; and the price is right especially when I was able to get a discount of $10,000 due to the available discounts from the dealership and manufacturer as well as hard bargaining to close out the deal. I have merely owned the car for less than a week and already fell in love with it. So quiet once inside and the ride is smooth and comfortable. It is already so loaded with technology and luxurious enough that you don't need to step up to the Lexus ES; of course, the ES is a higher class but I don't see the need to pay several thousand dollars more to just drive the Lexus. But don't get me wrong, Lexus is a great car and I have had several over the years but for this Avalon you get pretty much everything Toyota throws in there without having to pay thousands extra. Consider this Avalon seriously or at least this should be one of the several vehicles to be considered. I plan to enjoy this lovely car for the years down the road. And since I plan to own it for many years, I went all the way to the Limited model. Hey, life is short...why not?
