Toyota's 2019 Avalon arrives a year after a generational refresh with more power, an improved Entune infotainment system, and upgrades to its suspension, Toyota has announced.
The new Avalon is available in two powertrains, including 3.5-liter V-6 gasoline and hybrid models. The V-6 makes adds 33 horsepower (to 310 hp) and 19 pound-feet of torque (to 267 lb.-ft.). It delivers power via an eight-speed automatic transmission to its front wheels. The set-up should deliver 31 miles per gallon on the highway, 22 mpg in the city, and 25 mpg combined.
