The 2015 Toyota Avalon is elegantly athletic with American tastes in mind. The overall design is just on a class on its own and will actually be a game changer. At the front is a more aggressive airdam, squared off projector lamps and a ‘double eyed look’.

At the back of the Avalon is a disappointing lux-sedan taillights drooping a little bit. Though the rear fender is intricately designed and the sheetmetal gracefully flows to a sculpted look. It is imperative to note that there are minimal differences on the exterior compared to the petrol engine car.

The new engine promises to be a game changer with the engine producing 210 HP and 250 pounds of torque. Additionally the hybrid will come equipped with a bigger battery pack that should allow it go for 20 miles exclusively on electricity.

All Avalon’s which come integrated with a V6 are rated at 31 mpg on the highway and 21mpg in the city which are quite solid figures for a big sedan. For the hybrid version, expect an amazing rating of 29 mpg on the highway and 40 mpg in the city.

Similarly, the hybrid just like the petrol engine will be available with only 2WD integrated with a six speed automatic transmission. The car’s drivability is smooth and relatively fast but scores a thumbs down in manual transmission feedback.
