2011 Toyota Avalon Debuts New Styling and Better Efficiency

TORRANCE, Calif. — Toyota has introduced a redesigned Avalon for 2011, teaming its 268-HP V6 engine with a six-speed automatic transmission for high fuel efficiency (29 MPG EPA highway rating). Evoking a time when travel was sophisticated, elegant and comfortable, the new Avalon combines a distinctive new exterior style and a restyled interior rich with premium touch points and practical new technologies.

H8E8550-c Dynamic, expressive lines distinguish the 2011 Avalon, which gains an infusion of comfort, safety and technology advancements to enrich the driving experience. Upgraded equipment and technology features, such as a available touch-screen navigation system with real-time traffic (requires subscription), and Bluetooth® hands-free phone capability with music streaming to the audio system, are among the improvements for the 2011 model. These enhance the car’s renowned blend of spaciousness, comfort and technology.

The 2011 Avalon is available in two grades, Avalon and Avalon Limited. Both are well equipped with leather-trimmed interior, eight-way power driver’s seat, back-up camera, dual zone automatic climate control with air filtration, moonroof and 17-inch alloy wheels. The Avalon Limited gains cooled leather trimmed seats, an eight-way passenger’s seat with lumbar support, driver’s seat cushion extension, rain-sensing windshield wipers and Smart Key. The Avalon grade can be upgraded with a JBL Synthesis sound system and heated front seats, and Navigation is optional for both grades.

“The Avalon has long been appreciated by smart, conscientious consumers who recognize quality materials and the beauty of detailed craftsmanship,” said Bob Carter, group vice president and general manager, Toyota Division, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A. “The changes made for 2011 will allow us to build on our position in the premium large car segment. The competition does not stand still, and neither do we.”
