Toyota Avalon Overview

The front-wheel drive Avalon is available in three trim levels: XL, XLS and Limited. All are powered by a 268-hp 3.5-liter V6 engine, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode. The XL trim is well-equipped, with 16-inch alloy wheels, automatic climate control and a six-disc CD changer. The XLS trim adds 17-inch alloy wheels, a power moonroof and leather upholstery, while Limited trims are further outfitted with heated/ventilated front seats and an upgraded audio system. Standard safety features on all trims include anti-lock disc brakes with brake assist, vehicle stability and traction control systems, front side-impact airbags, overhead curtain airbags for front and rear occupants, a driver-side knee airbag and active anti-whiplash front head restraints.

The Toyota Avalon carries over unchanged for 2010.
