2005 Toyota Avalon: Larger, More Luxurious and More Powerful -
Maintain its Quality with Partstrain
The new Avalon is the third generation of Toyota's large sedan,
derived from the same the midsize Toyota Camry and the Lexus
ES330 entry-level luxury sedan. Toyota put considerable effort
into giving the new Avalon a more distinct identity. It's now
larger and more luxurious than the Camry. It's also more
powerful and roomier inside than the Lexus ES330. "The all-new
Avalon is distinctive, stylish and the most American vehicle of
any Toyota product to date," said Don Esmond, senior vice
president and general manager of the Toyota Division in the
United States.
The Avalon comes equipped with a new 3.5L V6 280-hp engine
paired to a five-speed sequential shift automatic transmission.
With this new engine, the Avalon can go from 0 to 60 MPH in 6.6
seconds. An estimated fuel economy of 22 city and 31 highway
miles per gallon is another amenity of the new redesign. New
exterior enhancements include a dual rear exhaust, front chrome
grille, and a four-inch longer wheelbase. The extended wheelbase
adds to the interior space and comfort of the passengers. Also
new are the rear reclining seats, which recline up to 10 degrees.
Comfort is the key word when it comes to the Avalon. The new
Avalon is 5 inches longer than its predecessor is, and by
rerouting the exhaust pipes, Toyota engineers created a flat
floor in the back and 40.9 inches of legroom, versus 35.6 inches
in the Lexus ES330. For added comfort, the Avalon's rear seats
recline by 10 degrees. Five long-legged adults can sit in the
car comfortably. For the driver and front-seat occupant, there
are no legs knocking against the center console. Rear
passengers, including the one in the middle, can rest their feet
on a flat floor. Headroom is good. All models in the range
feature front seat-mounted side airbags, front and rear
side-curtain airbags, in addition to a driver's knee airbag. A
brake-assist system determines whether a driver has used the
full potential of the brakes in an emergency; if the system
senses that more braking is required, ABS will activate until
the pedal is released.
The new Avalon's total package of power, safety features, style
and roominess puts it at the head of this class and maintaining
its performance can be well taken cared of by superior Toyota
