Toyota Avalon 2016 Performance

Suspension

Avalon has a fully independent suspension with a stabilizer bar for a smoother, more comfortable ride. And Touring’s unique suspension adapts to the road for a more dynamic driving experience.

Aerodynamic efficiency

Underneath the chassis, specially shaped diffuser panels reduce turbulence, resulting in enhanced control and reduced wind noise.

268-hp V6 engine

Step on the gas and feel the rush of the 3.5-liter V6 powered by 268 hp and 248 lb.-ft. of torque. Even with all this power, the engine is still incredibly efficient with an EPA-estimated 31 mpg highway and Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) certification.

Paddle shifters

A true driver’s car inspired by racing—available steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters provide for a more hands-on driving experience by letting you control when you shift and matching each rev for seamless downshifts.

Sport Mode

Avalon’s Sport Mode increases throttle response and quickens the Electric Power Steering (EPS) for livelier handling when desired.

Electric Power Steering (EPS)

Avalon offers a choice of two steering modes: Normal, for everyday driving; and Sport, for when the road begins to twist. It’s all about a more connected driving experience.
