They 2019 Avalon is Toyota’s offering into the luxury sedan market. Regal, classy, and luxurious are all words that readily describe the Avalon. The Avalon is packed with great features and top-of-the-line tech that makes driving it more exciting. There are three major trim levels to choose from: XLE, XSE, and Touring. Here is a guide to help you decide which 2019 Toyota Avalon is right for you.

Exterior Features on the 2019 Avalon

The three trim levels on the Avalon have a few visual differences between them. Rest assured, however, that any Avalon trim you choose has an elegant and bold exterior.

All trim levels have great exterior features such as front fog lamps, turn signal indicators in the mirrors, LED headlights, and chrome trimmed exterior accents. All four tires have disc brakes regardless of trim level. This makes brake changes and brake level checks significantly easier. Stopping power is also improved with disc brakes.

There are a couple of visual differences between the XLE and the two higher trims. The XSE and Touring trims both have rear spoilers. They also both have 19-inch rear wheels with the option to add 19-inch wheels on the front, while the XLE has 17-inch wheels all around.

Bold, Stylish, and Comfortable Interior

The same great attention to detail that was given to the exterior was also applied to the interior of the 2019 Avalon. All three trim levels include great features such as front and rear cupholders, front and rear armrests, and 12-volt power outlets in the front seating area. Once again, the base trim XLE misses out on some excellent features that are standard on the XSE and Touring. Features such as a front sunroof are only included on the higher trims.

Top of the Line Infotainment and Tech

A luxury model sedan would be nothing without its impressive tech and entertainment features. Thankfully the 2019 Avalon delivers in this category. All trims feature some level of the Entune3 entertainment system which includes Bluetooth audio, voice command recognition, and satellite radio connectivity. The XLE and XSE are equipped with Entune3 Audio Plus while the Touring has Entune3 Premium Audio. Another benefit the Touring has is its standard 14-speaker JBL audio system. This system is an optional add-on for the other two trims.

Safety and Driver Assistance Technology

Another key area to consider when shopping for the right 2019 Toyota Avalon trim is what kind of safety and driver assistance features are added. All trims have great driver assistance features such as a low-speed collision warning system, lane departure warnings, rear parking camera, electronic brake distribution, and a stability control system. The Touring trim has optional features which add a rear collision sensor and a distance sensor on the rear parking camera. Adaptive cruise control is standard on all trims as well.

Regardless of which 2019 Avalon trim level you opt for, you’re going to get a feature-rich car that will serve you well for many years to come. Many of the features that are standard on the XLE are only available on the highest trim levels of other models. Come in to take the Avalon for a test drive or check out our online inventory.
