Avalon is a beast. It's Lexus-like. People are just sleep on it. Plus you won't be one of the many many Camry's on the rode. Avalon makes you an individual. Hopefully Toyota keeps this beast alive.

[@texan903]

Toyota failed to market this car. Instead of offering a V6 on the Camry, it should've been exclusive to the Avalon, so should AWD, and the styling on the Avalon shouldn't have been so polarizing and it could've survived at least a few years more.

@@texan903 Nah it makes sense for them to remove it, what is the point of the Avalon when the Lexus ES exists? Same car granted the Avalon was cheaper but obviously that's not to Toyota's benefit, so they probably got rid of it so they're not competing within themselves.

[@KnowFatigue]

Love your reviews. One thing I really want to mention about yourself/your reviews.... Your perspectives are accurate and your stay focused. So what I mean by that is... you understand what car, what segment, approx what type of drivers and owners you are talking to. Even after you have driven and reviewed much more exciting and powerful/fast cars, you stay in reality. You haven't become "jaded and spoiled" by super car performance. You still remember what is "good performance" for economy priced vehicles and/or everyday car buyer/owner experiences vs REAL driving-drivers and their opinions of driving/performance.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

I'm humbled my friend thank you so much for the kind words Im just glad I could be of value. Yea you would be surprised, I typically enjoy the "normal" cars more I'm some cases than the high dollar stuff because normal cars have come a long way and over deliver for their respective class. There's only a handful of expensive cars that I actually deem is worth the price tag. Thanks again for your support.

Great vehicle. I have a 2006 Avalon Limited which I bought new. 142k miles on it and it drives beautiful…keeping it !

[@aldam7630]

Great review! I have a 2021 XLE Hybrid, and I am in love with the smooth ride and low noise, pretty sure that the V6 is even smoother, however, getting 45-46 MPG most of the time (city or hwy), is VERY satisfying and impressive for a car this size, and 215 HP, are not disappointing at all.

[@billybelk1831]

I bought the Avalon three months ago. I have driven Lincolns and other fine cars. It is my favorite car so far. Regular gas, good power , comfortable and good looks. Its Toyotas best product and so far i am very pleased with it.

[@kirkmanning6232]

Glad you reviewed the Avalon. Fantastic vehicle and you are correct about the V6 as it’s best engine. I have an ES350 and either car is a winner that I’d be very happy to own without any qualms. Too bad that Toyota is saying “sayonara “ to the Avalon.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

It's a great car but of course nobody buys it

[@tauntonengine3]

My daughter bought a 2018 xle. We compared it to Camry with the V6. The interior noise level was quieter in the Avalon. Plus I believe rear leg room is better in the Avalon. Read that from 2016 on they use the same platform as the Lexus uses .

[@atlantait2518]

Bumper guards would be a great safety feature which is missing. Grills are overhyped. The Avalon is a great car. Glad to see that Toyota did not discontinue it

Just up the street from where I live, there is a 2006 Lexus LS 430. The Lexus has the Ultra Luxury package along with silver exterior and black leather interior. If the Lexus is still there when I get my W-2's from 2021, I may buy it. They're asking $10,995 for the Lexus.

[@brentonl2631]

Yep that is a big grill, nice review on the Avalon. You are spot on about the floatiness of the ES I had the Sport Luxury and I found the suspension a little to soft for even windy roads. Obviously there is a difference in quality level between the two but would like to see the top spec Avalon produce. I guess it's a Toyota so it will be fairly reliable which is the main thing people want. Thanks Kevin.

It was hard to part with ma 2020 Mazda 6 Signature but this car, although not perfect, it's perfect for me. Engine and transmission combination is reliable and what I was going for. The size and ride quality of this vehicle is very comfortable its hard to explain. Thank you for your reviews.

[@kiwiinterstates3190]

It’s a great car for what it is. Personally, I prefer the Limited trim that really takes it up to ES level, however you’re at the Lexus price tag at that point. As I commented on the trailer photo my 2006 Avalon Limited is currently undergoing $3000 worth of repairs (which I know it’s barely worth that much but I love that car). I head up to Raleigh for work a lot too so if you ever want to have a drive of my 2006 Avalon Kevin let me know and I’ll drive it up there for you ;). However I usually take my 2020 Camry. As always great review.

If you currently have an LS just keep that til it gives you problems

[@jeffamburgey7485]

Another excellent review Kevin. On occasion when one is coming or going it makes me cringe on what my Lexus LS cost. Great sedan, I don't really understand why sedans are going out of style, but I am not young man, perhaps that's why I don't get it, I love them. Great car for the money, and the 3.5 motor in my opinion is a hall of fame motor. Interior is where the Lexus is worth the extra money, but for the money how do you go wrong. Keep em coming, your reviews are so good.

[@rohaltom]

I just test drove the XLE. The only shortcoming I found was the notable increased road noise in the back vs the front. I plan to purchase this year and will be adding 2-3 layers of sound deadening matt to back end and wheel wells.

Thank you so much for the review! I've been looking to replace my '18 Camry SE (Base, no packages) with something with a v6 and nicer ride. I've test driven the previous generation Avalon and ES350 and had all kinds of issues with the seat comfort on those. I test drove a 2019 Avalon Limited and loved it but the Limited was too expensive. I've been debating the XLE vs the Limited for days. I don't care about heads up, 360 view, heated steering, etc... The only extra feature I'd miss is ventilated seats and real leather, but both I could live without. After seeing your video I'm more convinced the XLE is the best value and the car I'll want to keep for the next 10 years. Thank you!

[@AustinDashes]

@@wannabedal-adx458 I got really unlucky with mine. 2012 genesis 5.0. it's a bizarre car. Like I bought it last July with only 64k miles for $13500, not including TTL and the extended warranty I bought because I had a feeling I might need it. Should've done a pre-inspection. I had it delivered 500 miles away because they're rare cars where I live in Texas. The Hyundai dealer I went to the other day told me it's "normal" for the $2500 cruise control module to go out. Ok. It's also normal for basically all the other electronics to quit working too?? Also, the vehicles bounces up and down like a magic carpet ride on some pavement and the wheel will shake a bit. And then on other pavement there's no shaking, no bouncing.....my wheel isn't cockeyed either, no alignment issue. It's just a super weird car!! And the acceleration is so much that the car is constantly killing traction. I even have to turn traction off if I floor it from 80 because it will hesitate and ESC will go off. Turn ESC off and punch it and no problems. I think the last owner tried to make it a race car. I'll try to do some runs with the ESC fuse pulled to show YT just how stupid fast it is. It needs new rear tires too. They're bald. And the throttle body and fuel injectors need cleaning. And it STILL runs like a demon escaping the pit of hell! 🤣 My engine replacement and water pump cost $12k, covered by warranty and my invoice from the other day of "recommended services," which I respectfully declined, was $11k. Now I'm getting the car repainted so that's almost $2,000 because the paint was shot when I got it.

I'd honestly love to drive an Avalon for it's smoothness but I just can't justify the price, especially compared to a Lexus. I think I would just wait to buy a used one. One question though, you said that was an XLE but it doesn't have ventilated seats? I live in the south where it's extremely hot & humid so I'd like my next car to have that feature. If it doesn't then I guess my next choice will definitely be a Lexus

Yea this is a base model XLE so no cooled seats need to go up in trim to get that idk exactly which trim offers it

This is still competitive against the Lexus. Optioned out, this can be had for $40-42k, about where comparable Lexus' begin, and go up to $50k. Overall cost of ownership is lower than Lexus.
