Toyota

The Avalon is offered in four grades, the standard XL, the sporty Touring, the extremely well-equipped XLS and the top-of-the-line Limited, which compares well to near-luxury models for comfort and amenities. The XLS and Limited models gain even more luxury touches, starting with a new rich dark wood grain and chrome trim interior.

All Avalon models are powered by a 3.5-liter, 24-valve V6 engine that produces 268 horsepower.
