My new Avalon is the sportiest and most luxurious feeling and looking car I have ever had. I see people looking at my car trying to figure out what I am driving. I had a buddy that texted me as he saw me driving and asked, “Dude what are you sporting in?” I said an Avalon, he said it looks like a Lexus. My fourth Avalon and the Cognac interior is exciting alone! A real driving machine!

No mouse to play with

I couldn't get past the mouse in the ES350, so I bought a Avalon Limited and put the other $10,000 into the bank. My 2003 Camry XLEV6 was still going strong at 165,000 miles when I turned it in. The Avalon is of course more up to date and enjoyable than an old Camry. If Lexus ever gets rid of the mouse which everybody hates and replaces it with a nice big touchscreen like the Avalon, I'll turn the Avalon in and take an ES. In the meantime, I'll keep turning heads because there are very few new Avalons on the road.

I’ve owned Avalons for the last 20 years and have loved them. This 2019 is a big disappointment. Some of the nice features of the older ones are missing. There’s a big bump in the back seat floor when previously it was flat. That makes it effectively a 4 passenger car. The back seats no longer recline either. They fold down but I will never use that feature. There’s no more rain sensing wipers or rear window sun shade. I really miss the CD player. The navigation system is laughably awful so not usable. The electronics don’t work so well either. For example the blind spot monitor lights up when the other car is too forward or even up to the front fender so it’s not useful either. The big touch screen requires going through several screens to get it to do what you want (sometimes) and that means taking your eyes off the road way too much. I think it’s every bit as bad as texting! The processing isn’t as intuitive as it could be, making for a frustrating, lengthy learning curve. The only things I like about this car are the comfortable ride and the all weather floor mats. Not much of a list for a car!

This is my wife’s new car.Going from a 1995 Thunderbird to a 2019 Avalon. What a difference 23 years makes. We also have a 2019 Grand Caravan which can’t hold a candle to the newer tech. We couldn’t see buying a 2018 when the 2019 was not going to cost very much more. Quality of the build, and the bigger passenger compartment is way more than the previous years. My husband is 6’3” and has plenty of headroom, and legroom in the front and back seats, even with the front seats all the way back. 4 years later, still a great car.

I have owned many many many cars! Convertibles, roadsters, ultra luxury, sedans, sport utilities,etc. I have never been more pleased than I have been with the 2019 Avalon Touring Sedan. Great ride and handling. Quiet and smooth. I only wish Toyota offered more color options for the interior, such as the Cognac leather.

Great car

I think it’s a great looking car. Fit and finish is as good as any car made. I love every feature about the car.. The one I bough is the limited. A lot of room and the seats fit like a glove. It has racing style seats up front that gives you a comfortable ride and you feel very safe. On the highway you can’t hear anything or feel anything. It can be a luxury car but put it in sport mode it turns into a sports sedan. I have a 2001 Avalon that still runs great with over 200 k miles. You buy this it’s really not a Toyota It’s built in the Lexus plant and it’s my understanding that it is the same car as the LS 460. They did not cut corners as it’s a Lexus all the way and about 15k less. The only thing I would say is the 2001 Avalon has a more softer ride. but does not have features and fit and finish as the 2019 and the difference in the ride you would not notice unless you drove a a earlier model that’s in great shape then you would notice the difference and it would be only a slight difference in the ride. I drove many makes and models none compared to this car. You could not go wrong if you bought this car.

Best car I've ever owned.

No exclamation points...no kidding. Bought this car because it was a smoking deal (discounted regional demo) and it checked all my personal boxes. I ended up getting even more than I thought I was. The ride is amazingly smooth on cruiser roads in Eco mode, but tightens up great in Sport+ for our Colorado mountain curves (which also enables the engine sound enhancer...you can hear the windup and downshift engine braking through the speakers?!). Paddle-shifters on Touring (and XSE?) models let you set the highest gear you want to be in, not necessarily what the car uses. More than enough power for even the steepest grades. Inside, the seats are really comfortable for long trips, ventilated and heated in front and heated all around. Everything is in easy reach of the driver, and after a week or two it's pretty intuitive. Could use a bit more storage, but to be honest I don't know where it would go. Plenty of USB charger outlets (at least 4?), and there's a wireless cell phone charging pad. The driver's tech is more than I've ever had, but I'm really only using the base Nav system and Bluetooth. I've read the cautionary tales of Entune, and don't think I'd benefit much. Absolutely love the heads-up windshield display, and radar-assisted cruise control that adjusts the car's speed to maintain a distance (user-settable) behind the jerks in front that can't pick a speed. Also like the parking and rear cross-traffic warnings, and the view cameras work flawlessly (guess I'm lucky after reading others' complaints). The exterior styling is eye-catching, even the giant maw of a grill (only about a third open for for airflow, actually). Got a thumbs-up from a big pickup driver I was driving next to in traffic...not bad for a grandpa's car (8 times over). It's obvious that Toyota has tried to make this appeal to a wider audience, and at least for the Touring model, seems to have really made it work.
This is my second brand new Avalon and 3rd Toyota.

I have been loyal to Toyota but this 2019 Valon disappointed me a lot. I had lots of issues with this car. 1) cheap plastic noise coming from the dashboard and I take it to dealership each time they hold my car for 2 days to fix it but it never fixed still the same terrible cheap plastic noise coming from the dash and they said they fixed it. 2) sometimes when I close the trunk I have to hit very very hard to close it otherwise won't close. 3) Birdseye view camera system fails one side of a car completely looks black on the screen. 4) auto brake system fails when I back up slowly if somebody passing 30 foot away car will break the cheap or bad install systems. I already hate to go back to the dealership that I got the car. Please, someone, give me an idea what to do with this car because I pick the touring trim which is the higher and paid a lot of money (44k) this is funny because even if you go and buy cheap civic you won't have this issues. Please help

Love this car.... only slight noise issues on the highway and the front Driver’s seat is a tiny bit shorter (from front to back) than I’m comfortable with. I had to read the Owner’s Manual to understand how a lot of the systems work because my specific car is loaded with options. I’ve had lots of compliments on the “look” of the car. I’ve only had it a couple of weeks, so it’s still a learning curve.

Five years later every bit of this review is still true. This car is a showstopper and I love it (my 4th Avalon and they get better and better). The basic car is terrific, so no need to dwell on that. It's the little things, for better or worse, that make or break the experience. So. . . #1, The horrible Etune app which fails way more often than it works has completely disrupted my enjoyment. Streaming services are fine in some parts of the country -- in rural NH where wifi is not freely flowing through the airwaves, not so much. And MY music doesn't show up on many streaming services. #2, Why did the moisture-sensing windshield wipers go away? That was a wonderful feature. #3, Why did the shade in the back window go away? Very useful in the summer. #4, Why did the adjustable seat lengthener go away? The support under my thighs was a huge add to comfort -- gone. #5, BEST ADDED FEATURE -- automatic high beams -- outstanding! #6, all the added safety features are great. So yeah, I want those two last features on my new Avalon, but I REALLY want the ones that I lost from my previous Avalon.
