I'm always amused at friends of mine that own European cars. I have a 2016 Avalon XLE, purchased new. The Avalon has been flawless. My friends' European cars are cash cows, in and out of the shop for repairs and parts replacements. Yet they look down their noses at my Japanese car. I'm laughing all the way to the bank. They're not laughing when they call me to come and pick them up when they have to take their Euro cars back to the mechanic.
I love love love my 2020 Avalon Touring. So much to praise. Definitely the best car I have ever owned. It handles so well I carved lots of great corners at The Tail of The Dragon in Tennessee. It was so much fun I was laughing out loud. Once wasn’t enough, had to drive it 3times! Because of the active damping suspension (available only on the Touring model), it handles like a much smaller car. But rides like my 1976 Eldorado convertible! Incidentally, the back seat has more room then most of those Lexus models. I need my friends & family to be as comfortable as I am. When a road trip is mentioned, it’s amusing how friends/family vie for that big comfortable back seat. Lots of pick-up without a turbo, which means REGULAR gas! Let the brand snobs pay for premium. This is a keeper!! So much fun, so much reliability, all on 87 octane. Sweet!
You are a truly smart guy. I've heard people say they like Lexus, because they get warm cookies and milk in the service department. I asked if they could have that at home, and he said he would rather pay more for it and feel special. In any case, I like the Toyota Avalon. It's my favorite full-size sedan in the mainstream market. Cancelling this will leave a real void in the lineup, one that the Camry simply can't fill.
Currently own a 2017 Avalon with 80,000 miles, best car i ever had! No issues and definitely lots of life left it it..... would love to have the new one even more!
Thank you for your reviews. I have been driven nothing but Avalon cars for the past 17 years now, all great cars. This would be another good one to consider.
I had a 2006 Avalon and sense gave it to my daughter when she went to college. Currently has 136k miles and it still runs perfectly. Hands down the best car I have ever owned.
I have this same color in the XSE and in love with my car. I hate the Avalon couldn’t survive, but on the flip side i don’t see them every other car like i do the Camry making it feels that much more special to me.
I'm currently eyeing an exactly specked 2022 one at a Florida dealership. Same color and wheels too for 42K. I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on it.
I agree ! I purchased my 2007 in 2008 and I've had at least 15 cars and the Avalon has been the very best. Also loved no timing belt rather a timing chsin.
We got a 2010 Toyota Avalon limited last Wednesday and we definitely love ours so much with 102k miles she is definitely an amazing car and a car that will last a long time both my wife and I both hate how Toyota got Reid of the Avalon also with adaptive cruise control for a 10 that is amazing and so comfortable
Good review I’m looking at getting one myself to replace my much loved 2019 camry xse (white with the ash interior which is next to impossible to find) v6 that met an unexpected demise. This avalon is the same exact size as the Lexus es350 and at this price 47k you get it with all the options at Lexus you Don’t get navigation or the premium levinison (and whatever extra junk they add like rapid Heater for a car sold in south Florida) to get all that it’s 53k. I drove the avalon today was quite nice seats more comfortable than camry. I may end up with it! The review kept saying it’s so big it’s 3.8 inches longer and .4 inches wider than the Camry.
Wish the touring and TRD would have a better seat, Knee extensions would be nice. We have a limited model and I have maxima Platinum and the seats are the best in the maxima but the Avalon drives much better.
Always admired the Toyota flagship. I guess I am what he refers to as brand snob. But what a car the Avalon is. Im not a fan of jbl or phone charger that doesn't work if you have case? Doesn't everyone have case? But what a striking product. Sales figures way way down I guess they had no choice . I tried negotiating on a new black touring that was on dealers lot for long time, they wouldn't budge on price , thought that was weird, so didn't close the deal. But great car overall love the review. RIP Avalon.
It's shocking but true. After paying $5,000 over sticker price I finally received my 2022 Avalon Limited. It does NOT have wireless Apple CarPlay. It must be physically plugged in with a cable. This will prove interesting as the next version of the iPhone is likely to have NO connector at all. I do LOVE, DRL off on the light switch.
I have the 2021 touring and is a beast. everywhere I go there is at least 1 person that ask me what kind of car it is. the only thing I wish it had was massage seats, cooler seat not only heat seats on the back and also temperature control for the back passengers but othere then that I do love my touring. I also have the same inside as you only that the outside color of the paint is snow white

by the way great review one of the best I seen. by the way you can turn the car on by pushing the lock button on the key fod three times. twice rapidily and on the third one just hold it till the car stars

Maybe 45K in 2022 when it came out....but the car is 2 years old and 45K is too much....I am a Toyota person....driving them since 95. Presently have a Camry that has been a great car.
It's definitely wonderful that they're bringing one of their Japanese names over to the US but this is 1 car I will not forget and I just don't know if the new Crown will replace the Avalon completely for me.

Yes, I had 2 Camrys before I upgraded to the Avalon. The Avalon is the clearly superior car.
Love this body style so much and the Touring especially. Would trade my 2017 LS460 for one.

Have a pearl white touring and always get compliments on it and most people don't know what it is
Idk why they took away rain sensing wipers for this new version! It would’ve been nice to see power folding mirrors.
I'm currently eyeing an exactly specked 2022 one at a Florida dealership. Same color and wheels too for 42K. I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on it.
I hope you did. I don't have a touring but I have a fully optioned-out TRD and it's the best vehicle I've ever owned.
Beautiful two tone black and brown interior of this end of an Era Toyota avalon
An Avalon is my daily driver. It’s a sleeper car. Has most of the feel of a Lexus and you cruise under the radar. It doesn’t shout look at me.
The 5th generation does. Especially the TRD version (which I currently own). I regularly get comments on how good my car looks.
For the price and power, this car will sell like crazy.

Promising only end of this year and after 2022 discontinuing. next choice Lexus ES350

The Avalon is a noticeable upgrade from the Camry.
@@oceanhedonist265 I got one a month ago touring. Loved my Camry but this one definitely nicer..
I just got a 2020 Camry XSE v6 ,I have almost every feature this has ..besides the automatic steering wheel thing …

Excellent review!
However, I do wish you had mentioned the hybrid version and some of its features.
I have a full review of the 2022 Limited Hybrid here too :)
It's shocking but true. After paying $5,000 over sticker price I finally received my 2022 Avalon Limited. It does NOT have wireless Apple CarPlay. It must be physically plugged in with a cable. This will prove interesting as the next version of the iPhone is likely to have NO connector at all. I do LOVE, DRL off on the light switch.
DRL's reduced accidents by almost 50% but I applaud your death wish.

what's the difference between the 2021 and 2022 avalon touring?
@@enobongakpan3074 the 2022 avalon has toyota safety sense 2.5+ whereas the 2021 avalon has toyota safety sense P (the first version of toyota safety sense) and thats the only difference i can notice
Car is very underrated.
Great review!
I have a 2011 Avalon..no big mechanical problem so far..just new tires and new battery..that's it.
by the way great review one of the best I seen. by the way you can turn the car on by pushing the lock button on the key fod three times. twice rapidily and on the third one just hold it till the car stars
I got a 2016- best car I ever had.
But finding a 2022 Avalon Hybrid seems to be a lost cause. Local dealers have no inventory (I'm in the Baltimore region). I agree with everything you say but you can't find'em!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😖
Check Houston and D.C.
@@nostradamus7648 thank you but they are gone, absent a fee outliers for thousands over list
Am buying one
Maybe 45K in 2022 when it came out....but the car is 2 years old and 45K is too much....I am a Toyota person....driving them since 95. Presently have a Camry that has been a great car.
My man said" What's good" first round of beers on me... Domestic please.
Ill join you with a nice cold Texas craft....Saint Arnolds or Buffalo Bayou on me!
i just picked up 2020 XLE with 3100 miles for 30,000$ i think i stole it
LOVE it and I will take the WRX also
you mean S-PLUS not s-sharp
Noooo no more avalon :'(
wait does the avalon touring have the AWD v6 option ?????
Why is Toyota killing the Avalon. Why? The Avalon was first Toyota to have apple carplay & Amazon Alexa in 2019.
There’s not an all wheel drive Avalon in 2022
was that cold start from the outside or inside?
I dubbed a cold start from the outside over the start up process inside.
Plss is it still available in market ???
You can definitely pick up a pre-owned 2019-2022 if you want this car. Sadly the Avalon was replaced by the hidepus looking 2023+ Toyota Crown.
Why get this over lexus es?
Rear seats drop if you need to carry stuff.
It weighs less.
Cheaper repairs.
@@nostradamus7648should cost the same to repair mechanically, same parts.
Poor visibility in back.....headrests.....
Avalon replacing with Toyota Crown
It's definitely wonderful that they're bringing one of their Japanese names over to the US but this is 1 car I will not forget and I just don't know if the new Crown will replace the Avalon completely for me.
👍
its full size
Its a full sized car not mid sized
It’s definitely classified as a mid size
Я тебя куплю по любому, последняя в своем роде достану и сыну отдам.
Dreadful interior! Hate black carpet!!!!!
Subjective
idk why certain floor mats would stop anyone from buying any car in general
This is a LARGE sedan
