2013 Toyota Avalon Hybrid consumer reviews

Mileage on this car is really a function of weather, headwind, gas quality and a human operator's ability to "fuse" with the vehicle. I never got less than 41 HWY, and routinely get 45 MPG. Incredible car! super handling, spacious, agile. Should have gotten top level trim for better sound, oh well ....;-) next time!

I've always been a Toyota Man. I have owned 9 Toyotas over my lifetime. This 2013 Avalon Hybrid is by far the best car I've ever owned. I bought it because they finally added some sporty body styling. But the interior and the features have exceeded my expectations. First car I've owned with all the features like back up camera, auto tilt mirrors, etc. But the best is the gas mileage for a car this size. I've owned it for a month and am averaging 38.4 mpg. With gas prices being what they are and potentially worse, the more people who buy hybrids, the better our chances of driving the price down. This car definitely does it's part in that regard.

I traded up to the 2013 Avalon Hybrid after two great Camry Hybrids (2007 and 2012). The mileage on the Avalon so far is a bit better than on the Camrys (about 41.5 mpg over the first 1100 miles). The Toyota Hybrid technology is clearly the best in the business, and their mileage ratings and reality are in sync, not like the false hybrid mileage promises from Ford. We also are on our second Prius in the family, with 80,000 miles on a 2010 model and no problems with the hybrid system (and typically 50-51mpg). Toyota does it right.

Great car - great ride- terrific MPG (40+) all the time in ECO. Heat emanates from top of black dash above steering wheel on hot days - feels like heater is on! and rain/water drips in front door upper front corners when doors are opened [that's a cpl of "design defects" in my opinion]. Car is really great though -

After thoroughly researching the Avalon and its competitors, including the Camry, we settled on the Avalon for overall quality and fuel economy expectations. Our expectations on the overall quality and design of the car have easily been met. However, it is the fuel economy that exceeded our highest expectations. After owning the car for one month and driving for 2600 miles, we are averaging 45.6 MPG in mixed driving (about 60% highway and 40% city). All we can say about the mileage is "WOW". It's not often when a car exceeds one's expectations. In addition, the pickup is great and the overall driving experience has been a special pleasure.

Great handling, spirited when in sport mode, comfortable and luxurious. Before you make your final decision, you must try the competition including the slightly smaller in interior Camry. The options you pay for in the Camry is standard in the Avalon. Quality in all areas. Best large sized hybrid that meets luxury standards without the luxury prices. Great thigh leg support, especially if you have tried the Camry. Mpg is on the money and when you get used to the accelerator you will maximize your fuel consumption. The electric vehicle mode is ok, but when you drive over 25 mph it goes to the Eco mode. You can use the Eco mode for all driving and truly max out your mpg. Overall a very roomy interior, with the luxury of a Lexus and the price of a Toyota. You must rember Toyota is the leader in the Hybrid technology and all other car companies are years behind or are working off of Toyotas technology. Excellent car, features and price if you know how to negotiate. Plus only shop at the end of the month. You will get best price then!

I wasn't looking to buy a car, I just wanted to see and test drive the new Avalon. Besides I loved my Venza. But they gave me so much for my Venza that I had to buy the new Avalon. The car is great on all accounts, however the windows did not come as tinted as my Venza was so I did have to take it in and have the windows tinted. I am getting 38 mpg combined and that is pretty close to what was expected, but I do have to drive fairly conservative to keep this mpg going. A comfortable ride. Not quite as much room as my Venza, but I should manage. I'm good for the next 4 or 5 years.

I tried to buy a lincoln hybrid for 2 months. I shopped in Roanoke and Lynchburg with no purchase. I have friends who have avalons and decided to try a toyota. I love my avalon hybrid and Haley in Roanoke made it a pleasure to purchase.

I owned Toyotas prior to 1996. For the following 17 years I have owned a Mercedes and a BMW. The Avalon give great gas mileage with regular gas, handles almost as good as the German cars and has virtually all of the technology that you could ever ask for without the premium price. It is extremely quiet, very comfortable seats and the doors swing out far for easy access.

Our new Toyto Avalon Hybrid has been totally fantastic to drive and the MPG is very close to estimated on sticker. We have averaged 37+ so far on 1500+ miles driven. We are very pleased with the Avalon so far. Comfort is also pleasing. We are still discovering how to operate everything that comes with it.
