I have a touring model. It's not that bad to clean. Paint sealed it ( which did take a while) but then just spray wax after every wash and bugs come off easy. Just a microfiber wash mit gets in all of those crevices. For the money, the touring is the way to go over this. The adaptive variable suspension is amazing and in sport plus, it handles just fine for real world sporty driving. No one is going to track their Avalon.
@@maxcurry9667 Who tracks avalon? It's made for luxury, ride and passenger comfort. Driving an avalon with rough suspension and loud exhaust is like watching gay porn. It makes no sense.
I am a Grandpa and this car is sweat. Looks great and drives very nice. This puppy will get up and go. I bought one Saturday for my wife. She is the sportiest Granny in town now. She even got a thumbs up yesterday while driving the car. My only chance to drive it was when I drove it home from the dealer. My wife will never let me behind the wheel again. Old people can be sporty too.
My same exact car and color and love it to death! The amount of compliments and looks I get is unbelievable. It does come with wireless charging also. Just slide the under tray back and its there. Everybody keeps saying the grill grill grill sounding like robots. See it in person to really determined it for yourself.
I have seen this car in person and there is nothing “old person” about it. Sounds badass. This car looks badass but I will admit the grill looks better in person then in pics and video. The car is very aggressive in design and the body is very long and wide.
The average age of Toyota customers were in their late 40s and early 50s. Toyota is a bit desperate to win over younger buyers and trying to make their brand image more fun.
One good thing about the big front grill is that you won't ever have to deal with paint chips from road pebbles and dirt that it will constantly get hit by overtime. If I look at the car with that design feature in mind I actually like the huge front grill.
The problem with all these Japanese cars is that the stylists hear that bigger grills are the new trend and they adopt the attitude "We WILL have the biggest grilles! " They don't seem to understand that their cars are all incredibly garish and tasteless. They are totally out of control !
I don't care about the grille. Toyota is getting greedy on pricing. I'm not sure who would buy the trd Avalon. No performance upgrades for speed. Lacking features like android auto, cooled front seats, heated rear seats and the interior has hard touch plastics. The wheels look out of place and it should be faster. I do love the engine note, interior space and red seatbelts! You are one of the top auto reviewers Sofyan. Keep up the great work!
God if they slapped on a turbo on it and got it closer to the 350-400 HP mark as well as making it available with AWD and managed to keep it below $50,000 it would be an awesome car. Could 100% compete and probably outsell the Kia Stinger as a full size Japanese sports sedan with public perception being Toyota a much more reliable brand.
They upgrade the handling but WHERE IS THE SEAT BOLSTERING?! Doesn't matter how well your car handles if you are sliding all over the place in your chair! The exterior and exhaust are great on these TRD cars but man... the lack of attention to the interior is one of the things only Toyota can get away with...
Redline/Sofyan my favorite vehicle reviewer. Asian Petrolhead running neck & neck with reviews. Even though this Avalon is a TRD model, front grill, IMO, could be improved with some subtle chrome accents. Not really a fan of black wheels on any vehicle. Some look ok, just not great. Preferred the sequential rear turn signal on Avalon.
Really have to admire Toyota for sticking around in this segment. Even all the American brands are abandoning full size sedans. Maybe for next generation there will only be Toyota Avalon and Kia Cadenza left.
And work on renewing the inside w loading the features on for a brilliant luxury sport sedan. Love the look especially the back I like the front but may find some ppl looking for the luxury in it but not liking the mean look it displays up front, so make it slightly smaller
So it's basically a Avalon with just styling.. no improvements to the engine and they take away alot of the tech. Yeah that's gonna be a no from me dawg
Okay. I normally dont mind larger grills. Avalon needs to scale it back a bit though. It really is just to much. The new Camry TRDs front looks so much better. Every other part of the Avalon looks so good. Toyota needs to change the front.
I wish this car came with the tan interior and upgraded headlights. I actually like the grille and the rear looks handsome. And I also like the fact that no one buys it
Add AWD to any 3.5L Toyota sedans and Lexus ES bites the dust and sales goes down the drain for the Lexus. Which is why Lexus ES F needs the engine from the Supra or similar power with AWD. 6 seconds 0-60 is bloody slow. My Altima 2.5L 183hp does that in 6.9 seconds and 5.4 for the V6 when properly launched.
The Touring model of the 2020 Avalon does not include the leather/ventilated front seats. The Limited (which is around the same price) seems to be the edition with those seats. Don't get me wrong, I like what I'm seeing, I just have no idea why Toyota is moving features I want in one car to a bunch of different editions.
This is the type of car you REALLY want to like...but damn, same engine as the standard Avalon and no manual transmission offered at all? I understand what they were going for but still..😭
I really wish Toyota would stop trying to pretend it's something they're not.....they've been doing this crap since they slapped a red "S" on a Corolla
It looks very nice and sporty however no extra HP compared to base model is a big disappointment and also the old person stigma is still there I actually recently saw an old dude with a brand new 2019 or 2020 model year however it wasn't the TRD hopefully Toyota keeps improving it but they're done a great job so far.
So ugly! The one issue the Camry and Avalon have is getting power cut due to overwhelming the front wheels. Glad to see TuRD did absolutely nothing to address this major issue. LSD is all this needs. To bad
Do you guys prefer the Avalon TRD or Camry TRD? Watch the end of the video to see which one we liked more. Happy Monday everyone!
Redline Reviews neither. Camry XSE v6 😍
Avalon 🤤🤤 Toyota Gang or Die!!!
I like both, but I'm definitely leaning towards Camry more just wish Toyota would give us the TRD treatment on the xse
Camry but XSE
They almost alike
Me: "shit my BBQ grill is broken"
Toyota Avalon: "don't even think about it"
Almost as bad as the ps3 was.
Designer: How much grill do you want?
Toyota: Yes
Underrated
I was just about to post a comment like this🤣🤣
Toyota: Yes
Say when.
Toyota said 'when' after they hit the ground.
😆
Friend: what do you drive?
Me: Grill
ImYoutubing247 Toyota Grill TRD 😂😂😂😂😂😂

More like a BugCatcher 🐝🐞🦋
BMW 7 Series: 'I have a big ass grill'
Toyota Avalon: 'Hold my beer'
It has too much grill, understatement of the year and imagine trying to clean that😮
You need detail brushes for that and an extra half hour for every car wash 🤦♀️
@@kakashi99908 I'd clean it real good and spray some spray on, hose off protection on it to make cleaning easier📣🛎
Yeah wayyy too much to clean by hand any

It depends on the color of the car with the grill... A dark color Blends in with the grill white and silver make it stand out and red too
After having hit 2 deer already in the past 5 years with my truck, I can just imagine the cost damage they would do to that all-grill front end🤨🥴
Billy Bio the deer run from it out of fear. It’s very economical.
Billy Bio learn to drive
DAVID oh so I shouldn’t drive through the field then?🤔
Joe Rogan sent you a friend request.
Does it have enough air flow to cool the engine? Lol
TOOOOO MUCH ,
Lol.. only 13% of it is functional 😬
it needs it for the big 5.7 v8
duane howard no such thing
Does it have enough engine for that air flow lol

TRD Corolla anyone? Maybe definitely if more horse power is involved
The grill makes the car!! The grill on this and Lexus ES F-Sport are amazing
I have a 2000 Avalon. I call it the S.S. Avalon because of the wonderful handling.
I love that exhaust
I think the Toyota Avalon TRD trim looks amazing,it combines a luxury and sport sedan,great job Toyota and don’t give up on the V6 engine
Surprisingly I’ve actually really warmed up to the grill and kinda like it but it’d still prefer it smaller
The grill looks fine, not an issue at all when I bought my Touring. Looks much better than the Camry.
The problem with all these Japanese cars is that the stylists hear that bigger grills are the new trend and they adopt the attitude "We WILL have the biggest grilles! " They don't seem to understand that their cars are all incredibly garish and tasteless. They are totally out of control !
That's a very good point!
I agree with you on the side profile. The front end looks like a hungry fish! 🐟🦈
Makers don't have to put bumpers on cars anymore? The design team watched New Jack City before they designed the grill.
I don't care about the grille. Toyota is getting greedy on pricing. I'm not sure who would buy the trd Avalon. No performance upgrades for speed.

Imagine if the tail pipes were as big as that grille... other drivers would think they were following Art Arfons' jet-powered Green Monster.
I actually love how it looks, and I don’t mind the big grille on this car at least
M67v yeah actually it looks quite cool for me
It looks much better in person as with anything
I like it! Especially in black. 🤷♂️
Good point that grill would blend in well, all 4ft of it lol.
@@krisward7720 lol
I have a 13 Avalon black in color.... it's a high maintenance color but I love the shine
And what you also heard was... the RX350, GS350, IS350, RC350, Camry V6, Tacoma 3.5, etc.
Toyota’s 3.5L is quite boring and old.
Don’t forget the Highlander
they can actually sound pretty good potentially
Yea but very reliable
BRYAN HARRIS reliable isn’t exciting. Lol.
@@CFG39 lol
It looks like they ran out of ideas for the bottom portion of the bumper and said: “fuck it, let there be grill.”
That grill said 😬
Literally lmao
Designer: how big do you want the grille to be????
Toyota: yes!!!!
This is the type of car Darth Vader or even Bane could drive
I don't like the grill either, but i like the rest of the styling.
The front grill speaks, GRRrrrr. The don't mess with me , face.😎😎😎😎
Looks good. Front grille is fine.
Toyota has taken grills to a new level, in a bad way
Stinger wins again. I’ll stick with my Stinger GT2 but this car doesn’t look bad at all.
i like the design but i’m just not a fan of that front end
It's as if Toyota said..."You know how people say the back is ugly.......look at the front".
They upgrade the handling but WHERE IS THE SEAT BOLSTERING?! Doesn't matter how well your car handles if you are sliding all over the place in your chair! The exterior and exhaust are great on these TRD cars but man... the lack of attention to the interior is one of the things only Toyota can get away with...
Cleaning bug guts out of that plastic mesh will be a pain in the ass.
I love the way it looks. Finally a car that is cool looking but is a full sized car without a crazy price tag
I’m going back in a new today I will buy a Toyota alvolon trd I like it so rast and fast it sounds so good too

when i'm a grandpa, i'm definitely going for more sporty!
Overpriced with a Boy Racer exhaust
When he says gaping grill
This car is like an old person trying to be young and hip or mid-life crisis.... it's JUST NOT WORKING....and that front is UGLY af.
I wish there was a night drive, since the Avalon has the new LED headlights. Sofyan, I love when you do the night drives!
Just sad , even in 2014- 2017 the Honda Accord sport had 4 extra hp 🤣.
Really have to admire Toyota for sticking around in this segment. Even all the American brands are abandoning full size sedans. Maybe for next generation there will only be Toyota Avalon and Kia Cadenza left.
Hideous and the damn grill is 90% blocked out.
yeah it's all show, there's barely any actual opening for cooling
Man that sounds like Supra to me but less power,I love it
Nobody:
Avalon's grill: I make waffles
Even tho the grill is too big, it looks much better than the new BMW 7 series
Yea that's why you buy an Avalon TRD for the exclusivity. Cars and Coffee here I come!
Designer:how much grill do u want
Toyota:ok yes
And work on renewing the inside w loading the features on for a brilliant luxury sport sedan. Love the look especially the back I like the front but may find some ppl looking for the luxury in it but not liking the mean look it displays up front, so make it slightly smaller
You need to test the pedestrian avoidance systems on your next reviews.
So it's basically a Avalon with just styling.. no improvements to the engine and they take away alot of the tech. Yeah that's gonna be a no from me dawg
That front end is hideous. What the hell were they thinking? 👎
vr6gls arbys
They were not thinking!
You gotta love the designer who said, "You know what the market needs??? Whale Shark themed sedans!"
this thing looks like a basking shark what with that giant gaping mouth.
I love the Avalon. I may be able to live with the grill..but that back end..not so much!!
Samsung has "the Wall"
Toyota has "the Grille"
Okay. I normally dont mind larger grills. Avalon needs to scale it back a bit though. It really is just to much. The new Camry TRDs front looks so much better. Every other part of the Avalon looks so good. Toyota needs to change the front.
A young person who could afford this would go for something else 98% of the time, easy
I wonder how the grill would look if you rattle canned some silver paint onto it
I always wanted a sport Avalon racer...... Said no one ever.
Frank Arango just get a dam ES 350F
@@JustxLiving909 exactly my point, nobody wants a sport tuned sedan with a toyota badge on it
I hope they sell many here in Minnesota. Bug catcher grill will take care of many mosquitoes.

2020 Toyota Avalon TRD special edition Grills
I love the grill. When I’m tailgating someone they better move or my black hole of a grill will consume them.
Sounds nice! Way to go! Still the Nissan's Altima SE-R 2005-2006 stock exhaust was and is still awesome!
Add AWD to any 3.5L Toyota sedans and Lexus ES bites the dust and sales goes down the drain for the Lexus. Which is why Lexus ES F needs the engine from the Supra or similar power with AWD.
6 seconds 0-60 is bloody slow. My Altima 2.5L 183hp does that in 6.9 seconds and 5.4 for the V6 when properly launched.
How does an Avalon not have fog lights.. But god it sounds good.🥃
Damn ugly. The front end reminds me of a blow fish
The Touring model of the 2020 Avalon does not include the leather/ventilated front seats. The Limited (which is around the same price) seems to be the edition with those seats. Don't get me wrong, I like what I'm seeing, I just have no idea why Toyota is moving features I want in one car to a bunch of different editions.
I’d be interested in buying one if there are aftermarket bumpers I can buy to get rid of that horrendous grille.
This might be the first car where you buy an aftermarket front bumper to make the car less aggressive.
That grill = disaster ... it's as bad and likely even worse than the CTR wing. Such a fuggin disaster!
The 2021 might have more stuff.
I would wait.
They could've put some lights down at the bottom of the grill
This is the type of car you REALLY want to like...but damn, same engine as the standard Avalon and no manual transmission offered at all? I understand what they were going for but still..😭
I really wish Toyota would stop trying to pretend it's something they're not.....they've been doing this crap since they slapped a red "S" on a Corolla
That TRD catback sounds really good.
Good looking sedan but please show us the one before the front end crashed and left that giant hole where the front bumper should be.
Awesome Review Of 2020 Toyota Avalon TRD. 😀
I have a weird thing for the Avalon. I want one in the red color.
We just got the Camry trd. Love it! Go check this Avalon out in person, looks way better...
It looks very nice and sporty however no extra HP compared to base model is a big disappointment and also the old person stigma is still there I actually recently saw an old dude with a brand new 2019 or 2020 model year however it wasn't the TRD hopefully Toyota keeps improving it but they're done a great job so far.
The wireless charger is under the storage in front of the shifter
They won't add turbo to the engine because they don't want to sacrifice reliabalitly. Good for Toyota for sticking to a naturally aspirated engine.
So ugly! The one issue the Camry and Avalon have is getting power cut due to overwhelming the front wheels. Glad to see TuRD did absolutely nothing to address this major issue. LSD is all this needs. To bad
It didn’t erase its old person image and its getting killed off. But not because of its image, but people want flashy car.
They succeeded, these are good looking...
That exhaust, nice...Only catch is Camry is 31, this loaded one is 45k. 46k is ES F sport base.
The Avalon TRD doesn’t come with the Toyota safety sense 2.0. It uses the first gen one
FYI redline, the Avalon doesn’t have tssp 2.0 so no lane tracing. Just lane departure w steering assist
