Unbelievable luxury, reliability, and economy!

I have owned 25-30 different vehicles in my life including 10 Toyota or Lexus vehicles since 1978. The latest have been 2 Camry hybrids and 2 Avalon hybrids. Quite simply, my 2020 Avalon Limited hybrid is the finest luxury automobile I have ever owned. My 2015 Avalon was the 2nd finest... LOL. The car is quiet, smooth, comfortable,

unbelievably reliable, and gets 44-46 MPG for me in normal weather conditions.

Great car that will be with me for a long time

I chose the Avalon over BMW & Lexus because of the interior style. I wanted the touch screen large and up on the dash and the Avalon had the best positioning. The style is great (not a grandpa's car) and I get complements on it often. I have owned since new with no mechanical issues. The heated and cooled seats are a must.

The heated steering wheel is a must (I live in New England). Handles great and has plenty of pep for the way I drive. I will have this car for a long time.

2020 Toyota Avalon Hybrid review: Our expert's take

What Is the 2020 Toyota Avalon?

The Toyota Avalon is a large sedan that seats five. It’s powered by a standard 301-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 engine that pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission. A gas-electric hybrid drivetrain is also available. Competitors include the Kia Cadenza and Chrysler 300.

What’s New on the 2020 Toyota Avalon?

Following the Avalon’s 2019 redesign, the 2020 model offers a new performance-focused TRD trim level. The TRD version gets a lower, performance-tuned suspension, unique wheels and tires, bigger brakes, a TRD-tuned exhaust system and various cosmetic changes.

What Features in the 2020 Toyota Avalon Are Most Important?

All Avalon models get the Toyota Safety Sense-P suite of active safety features, including forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning with steering assist, and automatic high-beam headlights. Blind spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert is also standard. Apple CarPlay smartphone connectivity is standard, but Android Auto isn’t available. The top-of-the-line Touring trim gets an adaptive suspension.

Should I Buy the 2020 Toyota Avalon?

The Toyota Avalon is a very good choice in a shrinking large-sedan class, and it should be on your consideration list if you’re looking for big-car virtues, like a roomy interior and big trunk. If your preferences include a car with these attributes and a hybrid drivetrain, there are even fewer competitors.
