2022 Toyota Avalon Specs, Prices, MPG & Features

April 1, 2022 Steve Jones

The 2022 Toyota Avalon has a sturdy exterior, but it is very comfortable on the inside. The full-size Avalon, which is based on the mid-size Camry, comes with a V-6 or hybrid powertrain, front-wheel drive, and a large cabin that is comfortable all day.

It includes a full suite of driver-assistance functions as standard, as well as the majority of the infotainment capabilities that modern drivers want without being unduly confusing.

Toyota Avalon Performance

The Toyota Avalon has two engine options: one that runs only on gas and another that runs on a fuel-efficient hybrid system. The basic engine is a 3.5-liter V-6 with 301 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. The front wheels are driven by an eight-speed automatic gearbox., the V-6 propels the Avalon from 0 to 60 mph in 6.0 seconds.

A 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors are standard in trim levels labeled hybrid. The engine produces 215 horsepower and is mated to a continuously variable automatic gearbox (CVT) that drives the front wheels. Many buyers of large automobiles, such as the Toyota Avalon, emphasize comfort, and the Avalon does not fail in this regard.

Fuel Economy

The EPA forecasts that the gas-only Avalon will get up to 22/32 mpg city/highway. It achieved 34 mpg in real-world fuel efficiency tests with both the V-6 and the four-cylinder with all-wheel drive. The Avalon hybrid gets up to 43/44 mpg according to the EPA.

2022 Toyota Avalon Interior & Comfort

When it comes to the general appearance of the cabin, the new Avalon is a significant improvement over the prior iterations. The driver and front passenger are separated by a big waterfall-style center stack, which has attractive switchgear and an easy-to-reach touchscreen. The plastics are well grained throughout the cabin, and the back seat has plenty of room for tall people to extend their legs.

There’s also a massive trunk with 16 cubic feet of load capacity. When towing bulky things, the standard folding rear seats with a 60/40 split may simply be expanded. The new lithium-ion battery, according to Toyota, is smaller and allows the Avalon to keep its whole trunk area.

The XLE trim level of the Avalon has features including an eight-speaker sound system, Bluetooth connection, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.

Scout GPS Link navigation, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and Amazon Alexa compatibility are all included as standard.
