2021 Toyota Avalon Review: Economical Comfort To a T

Automakers typically offer their flagship cars with the best powertrains they have in their ranges and specify and equip them with creature comforts, conveniences, and technologies generously. But it's only now, coming into 2021, that Toyota's Avalon is being presented with a new 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine and, most notably, an all-wheel drivetrain, a first for the flagship nameplate. This is also the first year that the Avalon sedan comes standard with Android Auto functionality.

With these significant updates, the Avalon is more appealing than it's ever been before and is positioned favorably alongside competitors such as the Chevrolet ImpalaChrysler 300, and Dodge Charger. Toyota devotees now get to choose between the familiar 3.5-liter V6 unit dialed for 301 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque and the new 2.5-liter 4-cylinder unit that's dialed 205 hp and 185 lb-ft.

2021 Toyota Avalon Changes: What’s the difference vs 2020 Toyota Avalon?

Toyota implemented a handful of meaningful enhancements to the Avalon lineup for 2021. The most compelling of these is the option of a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that's accompanied by an all-wheel drivetrain for the XLE and Limited trims. The brand has also finally decided to install Android Auto functionality, which now comes standard on every trim. Up-to-date USB-C charging ports have also been installed to every trim, too. There are new summer tire options and new exterior colors made available for the TRD, while the XSE Hybrid, Touring, and Limited get fresh interior hues. A new XSE Nightshade Edition has been added to the range, which is based on the XSE trim. It features blacked-out exterior bits such as the mirror caps, rear spoiler, grille, and unique badging, as well black-painted 19-inch alloy wheels.
