In between deflecting questions about runaway Camrys and Priuses that don’t stop, Toyota found time at the
to unveil the 2011 Avalon, which goes on sale this spring.
In truth, there’s a lot of old Avalon here; the sheetmetal and interior are new, but the running gear and platform are the same. The new car features the same 3.5-liter V-6 engine that makes 268 hp, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Toyota says that the car hits 20 mpg in the city and 29 on the highway on the EPA cycle.
As expected, the exterior design—the work of Toyota’s CALTY studio in California—was torpor-inducing, but the new interior is very clean and neat, featuring a simplified center stack and the segment’s only reclining rear seat. Myriad driver distractions are available, including Bluetooth music streaming.
