Used 2020 Toyota Avalon Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2020 Toyota Avalon is available in XLE, Limited, XSE, TRD and Touring trims. All of them come with a 3.5-liter six-cylinder engine (301 horsepower, 267 lb-ft of torque) that sends power to the front wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. A hybrid model is also available and is covered in a separate review.

The XLE trim starts off with features such as LED headlights, keyless entry and ignition, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and simulated leather upholstery. You also get Toyota's Safety Connect emergency communications, a 9-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa integration, and an eight-speaker audio system. Toyota's Safety Sense suite of advanced safety features is also included.

Stepping up to the Limited trim adds a sunroof, a head-up display, leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, driver-seat memory functions, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, a built-in navigation system, and a 14-speaker premium JBL audio system.

The sporty XSE trim builds on the XLE's features with 19-inch wheels, black exterior treatments, a sunroof, a rear spoiler, a sport-tuned suspension, paddle shifters and microsuede seat inserts.

The new TRD trim takes the sport concept a bit further. It starts with the features from the XSE and adds black-painted aerodynamic elements, upgraded brakes, matte black wheels, a sport exhaust, sportier suspension tuning, and red seat belts and stitching,

The range-topping Touring trim comes complete with all of the Limited and XSE upgrades as well as an adaptive suspension and active noise cancellation. Upholstery is simulated leather with microsuede inserts.

Some of the upper-trim features are available as options on the other trims. Optional on the Limited and the Touring is an Advanced Safety package with a surround-view parking camera system and rear parking sensors with automatic braking.

Which Avalon trim does Edmunds recommend?

The base XLE is equipped generously, and we think many buyers would be happy with its accommodations. But if you can swing the higher monthly payment, we say go for the loaded-up Touring. You're buying an Avalon because it's supposed to be a little nicer than run-of-the-mill sedans such as the Camry and Honda Accord.
