2021 Toyota Avalon Hybrid Limited 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

Just moved up from a 2015 Camry LE to "The Beast". The dealership "made an offer I couldn't refuse". I've only driven the car for a week. There are so many bells and whistles (digital) that I recommend going to YouTube and watch the 2020 2Guys and a Ride vehicle features and Infotainment System videos. For more Toyota specifics on the Battery, Hybrid , and Engine watch The Car Nut. Will assure you about issues about "The Battery"(10 year/150,000 mile warranty on the Battery/Hybrid System). Owners Manual is 580 pages, Infotainment Manual is 300 pages. Worth the read, but you have to drive it sooner or later. The wife and I wanted a bigger car car (I'm 6'1" and getting old), need a car that is easier to get in and out of. The memory seat, steering wheel help big time. When the car is turned off - the seat and steering wheel move out of the way. Open the door the next time and you step in, sit, buckle up, everything moves to where you left it. The Avalon also is a bit lower to the ground. The first you notice is the interior room, comfortable seats and seating position. The car is QUIET! Interior temp is set in Degrees, not Blue Red bar, separate setting for front and separate controls for the back passengers. When driving; the car feels firmly planted to the ground. It does NOT FLOAT. It has a smooth ride. Select the SPORT setting, the suspension tightens up a bit and throttle response increases also. I normally keep it in NORMAL and use SPORT for merging on the Interstate or passing. It's cool to having the key fob in your pocket and you can enter, operate, without having to fumble for keys. Like Blind Spot Warning feature, same for the "RADAR" Cruise Control that adapts to the flow of traffic, and the Heads Up Display is awesome! Most features are customizable. Exterior - Ruby Flame - NOT Burgundy or Red. Just a color that appeals and adapts to the light. The big front grille actually fits the car, pictures don't do it justice. I will update more later on. I have2 things to experience yet - snow and the grades on I70 between Denver and Glenwood Springs. It's a Toyota, buy with confidence!

I have the XLE. It has a quiet smooth ride. The seats are softex which I like. I like the safety features such as precollision, rear cross traffic alert, dynamic cruise control and blind spot monitoring in outside mirrors plus other features that I am not yet familiar with.

At 69 years young, I've owned many vehicles over my life. Two corvettes, five Mercedes, and three Lexus...among many others. I love nice vehicles. This is our second Avalon, and it has not disappointed. At this point in our lives, this is the perfect vehicle for me and my wife. The quality is exceptional, the layout is extremely functional, the technology is outstanding, and the ride...exceeds our expectations. Overall - the Avalon is equal to any Lexus or Mercedes we've owned. We want our vehicle to be 1) dependable, 2) comfortable, 3) enjoyable to use & fun to drive. This Avalon is all that...and more. My wife and I are extremely happy with our Avalon Hybrid Limited.

Great gas mileage

What led me to buy a new Toyota was gas mileage. I looked at all their models and test drove them all. I settled for the 2021 Avalon Hybrid Limited as I felt it was the quietest and it advertised 42/42 city and hwy estimated mileage. Very accurate city mileage but highway was off to my pleasure. I averaged 48 mpg on my trip from Florida to Boston, Mass!!!!! 2021 TOYOTA AVALON HYBRID ROCKS

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?

The comfort and smooth ride is next to none. Love the technology and MPG. If there was one downfall it would be the front seat room side to side (I'm 6'5"). Gorgeous car!

The Avalon is elegant, fast, the comfort is crazy,many technology gadgets, but above all the fuel efficiency with this hybrid vehicle is superb. I wish it was Android Auto friendly as the Camry and other sedans in competition.
