  • The ULTIMATE Toyota Avalon is here with the TRD edition. This Avalon TRD is NOT all show and no GO. Toyota has taken there TRD engineering to make this the best performing Avalon ever created. From it's wind tunnel tested body work to it's lighter wheels and suspension. Has Toyota done enough to make the Avalon TRD performance WORTHY?

      @guy proulx True on the account of Camry and Corolla models. Those vehicles sell in still astronomical numbers. Avalon, however, is a different story. This video is about the Avalon, after all. Avalon sales have essentially tanked. Not to mention that the car is simply too similar to the Lexus ES that the reasons to purchase the Avalon over it are almost negligible. I like the Avalon a lot but as with the Cressida before it, which was cancelled due to its own similarity to the Lexus line, fewer consumers are interested in cars these days, which is not helping the Avalons case.

      You guys keep begging for more horsepower but yet want to pay for it. If they bumped it to 330hp and added 10k on the price its competing with Lexus territory, then you would be saying "Who is going to pay 50k for a Avalon". Toyota is smart they know what they're doing. Nowadays you barely can use all of that on the road unless you live in a old country town with only 2 cars on the road. Stop being horsepower junkies!

    Avalon is known for its luxurious soft and quiet ride. Putting a TRD package on it without increasing the performance of the engine in fact has a negative effect on the car. Now you have a meaner looking, stiffer, bumpy and noisy car but without any performance gain. The question is why this package even exist for Avalon? They could at least put awd on it from the Lexus GS series. Toyota shouldn’t slap a TRD package on everything.

    As a new owner of the Avalon TRD, I will say that I love the feel of driving a car again. After driving SUV's, CUV's, and trucks for the last twenty years, it is refreshing to drive a car that helps me remember that driving can be fun. As a family man, who has kids to tow around, it is nice to have a reliable sports sedan that is capable and functional at the same time. Do I wish that it had more HP? Yes. However, for the actual driving that I do, 301 HP is enough. Will I choose to tune the car in the future? Sure, why not.

    The stiffer suspension and low profile tires will mean a rough ride. If you want a sporty car with a rough ride, I can think of far better options than the Avalon (at a comparable price).

      The regular ES 350 is a totally different car. The suspension is extremely weak. I wouldn't even bring up the regular es 350 and compare it to the Avalon TRD. I guess you can replace the suspension and void your warranty if you wanted to, but be prepared to put in $2-$4K and hope you like the ride afterward.

This version of Avalon is the version to me of the Scion tC with 4 doors 6 cylinders nd 20k more expensive !! I think the car is great and I really like it but I feel like it’s overpriced. It would be great if you can compare a Scion tC 2016 with this trd Avalon . You will feel like there isn’t much difference despite the tC being a 4 cylinder ( and 20 k cheaper)

    2 pistons on brakes for the front. Like I said before, it would be nice to have a TRD aftermarket Supercharger or other mods, but they are going for dependability, durability, and reliability. It's expensive already, if Toyota felt they should put more horsepower for the TRD name, they would have, but IMHO, it's more than enough, unless you are going to drag race, which is kind of pointless. The Civic Type R has about the same horsepower, and so did the Buick GNX decades ago, with a turbo.
    This is bigger than I would want now, even more so than the Camry, but it's looks nicer than the Camry. But I would buy it, if I had the money, but the Rav4 TRD would probably be more practical for me.
    Red would be my last choice, and then the black, so I would prefer the Silver, and then white...
    I think this is well done as is. Especially with the JBL sound system with the CD player. I believe it still has one, better have, might be moved to the bottom like the new Lexus ES 300.

    Wow, this is totally different than my 2000 Avalon. Btw, I'm still driving my 2000 Avalon. Toyotas last a long time. My daughter is driving a 1996 Camry. I like the looks of the new Avalon.

    ZONK ! Don't understand the need for this at all. All bling....no sing. Good lord that front grill. People find that front end appealing ? Not my money Toyota. Good review Joe.
