When you're in the market for a high-performance full-size sedan, the Toyota Avalon is your top choice. This handsome, powerful sedan looks like class and performs like an athletic star. Its performance features speak for themselves. Our Fort's Toyota of Pekin team selected their favorites.
High-Performance Engines
At the heart of the Toyota Avalon's stellar performance are its beefy engines. They include a 250-horsepower 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder and a 301-horsepower 3.0-liter six-cylinder. Both engines benefit through pairing with a smooth eight-speed transmission as well as efficient direct fuel injection and Variable Valve Timing. With all of these traits combined, the Toyota Avalon achieves 25/34 mpg city/highway.
Race Car Aerodynamics
Improved aerodynamics reduce drag, making a given vehicle even more fuel efficient, maneuverable and responsive. The Toyota Avalon combines a host of aerodynamic features, amounting to a marked driving advantage on streets and highways in Pekin:
- Rear spoiler
- Rear diffuser
- Underbody panels
- Front bumper tangential side vents
Each feature serves to reduce the Toyota Avalon's coefficient of drag by 0.27 while also keeping its ride feel and sound buttery and quiet.
