2022 Toyota Avalon Prices, Reviews, and Pictures

Good

The 2022 Toyota Avalon delivers what you would expect from a large, comfortable, cruising sedan, but it is also surprisingly enjoyable to drive. There's good power, and it has an available adaptive suspension system that is responsive on twisty roads. It's also a good value because of its high fuel economy and luxurious surroundings, which rival those of its Lexus ES cousin for a lot less money.

Overview

Written by automotive expert Travis Langness

2/9/2022

The 2022 Toyota Avalon is one of the only vehicles left in the large sedan class. The Chevy Impala and Ford Taurus are long gone, so the segment now consists of just three vehicles: the Avalon and the Dodge Charger/Chrysler 300 twins. For our money, the Avalon is the best of the bunch. It offers a smooth ride, comfortable seats and a richly appointed interior. Unfortunately, Toyota has confirmed that 2022 is the Avalon's last year of production. Toyota has also made changes to available equipment by eliminating the optional all-wheel-drive system and discontinuing the TRD trim level.

The Avalon is now in this generation's fourth model year, and we don't have many complaints about this well-rounded big sedan. If you're in the market for a large sedan, the Toyota Avalon is highly recommended. For full details on how the Avalon scores in categories from fuel economy to performance, check out the Edmunds' Expert Rating below.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Rex Tokeshi-Torres

Good

7.8

out of 10

We drove the 2022 Toyota Avalon on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

7.5/10

How does the Avalon drive? With a potent 301-horsepower V6 mated to a smooth-shifting transmission, the Avalon has good power to get up and go. It is also pleasant to use in most scenarios, from long road trips and afternoon cruises to day-to-day commutes and short errands around town. Braking is consistent and never grabby, which lends to its comfort in daily use.

The Avalon is surprising in its athleticism — with shockingly enjoyable handling and drivability. While not a sport sedan, this cruiser can handle twisty roads with relative ease for a vehicle of its size. Think about a mobile defensive end or tackle in football as opposed to an athletic linebacker.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the Avalon? Comfort is a strength for the Avalon and is probably the primary reason you'd consider such a large sedan. All seating positions give you ample cushioning and support for long drives or short cruises. The leather upholstery is very soft and gives the sensation that the Avalon is more upscale than its price suggests.

The ride is cushioned and makes you feel shielded from harsh roads. The cabin is also really cozy due to the climate control's quick heating and cooling. While there is no rattling or shaking inside the cabin, road noise is somewhat present at all times.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? The Avalon's cabin is a decent place to be. It is roomy and user-friendly. There are even redundant key functions located on the steering wheel. Legroom is abundant, the driving position is superb due to its multitude and depth of adjustments, and visibility is great up front and modest to the sides and over the shoulder.

As far as controls go, there are two minor issues: The radio tuning knob can be a reach for some, and a couple of functions, such as turning on the camera view, are tucked away. While legroom is a strength, headroom can feel a little compromised for taller people — especially in the rear due to the sloping roofline. Lastly, the low-resolution rearview camera and display could use an upgrade.

Technology

8/10

How’s the tech? Toyota's Entune system and its 9-inch touchscreen are surprisingly good. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration systems are supported. The display is bright and responds well to inputs, but Toyota tends to lock out more functions while you're driving than other carmakers.

There are two USB ports up front and two in back. The front console also houses a wireless charging pad. The car's built-in voice controls are hit-or-miss — it's better at understanding radio commands than navigation commands. We had much more success using Siri via Apple CarPlay.

Storage

8/10

How’s the storage? While cargo capacity is average on paper, the Avalon works out to be more convenient compared to some others due to the wide trunk opening, broad floor and convenient loading height. You might be disappointed if you're the type who folds the rear seats to expand the space because there's a sizable step up to the folded seats.

Inside, there are numerous small cubbies, plenty of cupholders, and a center console that's sizable and surprisingly deep. The door pockets are average, but there are enough other options that it's not a concern. The Avalon really shines when it comes to fitting child safety seats. The car seat anchors are easy to access, and the huge rear bench has space enough for just about any type of seat.

Fuel Economy

8/10

How’s the fuel economy? The Avalon is rated at 25 combined mpg (22 city/31 highway), which is excellent for this class of car. It's not outstanding like the hybrid variant, but it's still really good. During our mixed-driving 115-mile evaluation route, we were able to observe 26 mpg, which slightly beat the combined EPA score.

Value

8/10

Is the Avalon a good value? The Avalon offers a good deal of quality and refinement. It feels close enough to the Lexus ES in this regard that someone looking for a large sedan might want to consider the Avalon because it costs thousands less. Beyond the great deal, you also get high gas mileage, a good roadside assistance program, and free scheduled maintenance for the first two years.

Wildcard

7.5/10

The Avalon is a low-key performer. The exterior, aside from the huge brace-face grille, is nondescript, while the interior delivers a composed, civil and sophisticated style. None of this is bad, but it sets you up to be surprised by its hidden athleticism. In the context of a big family sedan, it's fun to drive due to its surprising handling capabilities and strong V6 engine.

2022 Toyota Avalon trim level differences

The 2022 Toyota Avalon is available in three trim levels: XLE, Touring and Limited. All trims come standard with front-wheel drive and a 3.5-liter V6 engine (301 horsepower, 267 lb-ft of torque) mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. A hybrid version is also available and is reviewed separately. Compare the 2022 Toyota Avalon trim levels in-depth.

Which Avalon trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend the midlevel Avalon Touring. Along with the sport-tuned adaptive suspension, the Touring trim level comes with some features you'll likely want on an Avalon such as ventilated front seats, a 14-speaker audio system and integrated navigation. The Touring also gives you access to the optional Advanced safety package, which includes parking sensors and a 360-degree parking camera.

2022 Toyota Avalon video

2019 Toyota Avalon First Look | Detroit Auto Show

NOTE: This video is about the 2019 Toyota Avalon, but since the 2022 Toyota Avalon is part of the same generation, our earlier analysis still applies.

Toyota's all-new 2019 Avalon shows that the automaker continues to take the sedan segment seriously. Historically, the Avalon has been the Camry's larger, cushier brother. That fundamental brief doesn't change, but the relationship promises big strides in ride composure for Toyota's slightly-bigger-than-Camry midsize Avalon sedan.

Toyota Avalon vs. Lexus ES 350

The Toyota Avalon and the Lexus ES 350 are based on the same vehicle. They share an engine, and most of their exterior dimensions are very similar if not the same. Designed as a luxury vehicle, the Lexus uses higher-quality materials in some areas and feels a bit more premium. The Lexus is more expensive, but if you're shopping for a midlevel Avalon, the ES 350 might be worth considering.

Toyota Avalon vs. Chrysler 300

The 300 offers an upscale interior and a powerful available V8 engine. Unfortunately, it's getting on in age. While the Avalon was last redesigned in 2019, the Chrysler 300 has gone 11 years since its last redesign. As a result, the Chrysler lacks some modern features and it feels a bit dated compared to the Toyota.

Toyota Avalon vs. Dodge Charger

More than just a four-door sedan, the Dodge Charger is a muscle car that can fit a family. The Charger offers multiple available V8s, including the 707-horsepower Hellcat engine. It goes big on personality while the Avalon prefers to not draw attention to itself. But much like the Chrysler 300, the Charger is getting on in years.

Pre-Collision System: Warns if a front collision is imminent and applies the brakes automatically if the driver doesn't respond in time.
Lane Departure with Steering Assist: Alerts the driver if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane and steers the car back if no action is taken.
Intelligent Clearance Sonar: Indicates how close the rear bumper may be to objects and applies the brakes automatically if a collision is imminent.
