What’s New on the 2019 Toyota Avalon?

Fresh off its debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, the 2019 Toyota Avalon is the next exciting installment in the Avalon series. This year ushers in the fifth generation of this iconic luxury sedan, boasting more amenities, enhanced performance, and a bolder style. Once you’ve seen everything the vehicle has to offer, you’ll be impressed. Here’s a look at all the new gadgets and features on the 2019 Toyota Avalon.

Apple CarPlay

For the first time ever, Toyota incorporates Apple CarPlay into one of its automobiles, which should send iPhone users into a frenzy. Prior to the inclusion of CarPlay, Toyota relied solely on its Entune 3.0 infotainment system. Although Entune had many superb features, it wasn’t able to streamline all the functions of the iPhone into the car’s head unit.

With Apple CarPlay, you can sync your phone to the 2019 Avalon to access more sophisticated apps, use your phone contacts, and listen to your playlist, all while keeping your eyes on the road. It’s just another way that the Avalon improves the overall driving experience.

Performance 

A luxury vehicle doesn’t have that true touch of opulence without a racy engine to back it up. That’s just what you’ll get with the 2019 Avalon. Beneath the hood, the Avalon boasts a 3.5-liter V-6 that boasts 301 horsepower and up to 267 pound-feet of torque. This kicks it up from 0-60 in just 6.0 seconds while blazing to a top speed of 130 mph.

This engine pairs with a smooth, eight-speed automatic transmission with manual drive mode to deliver an authentic sports car experience. Tack on the adaptive variable suspension for improved handling and cornering and the Avalon can tear up the pavement with the rare combo of agility and speed.

Bold and Stylish Interior Accents

The interior of the 2019 Toyota Avalon is simply unbelievable. Sure it has all the tech features you could want, but it’s the little touches that make it a cut above the rest. Heated and ventilated seats provide ultimate comfort, while the leather trimming cradles your body as you drive. The available Cognac leather trim adds another degree of opulence to the mix with a softer feel and bolder color.

On the Avalon Limited, the vehicle adds real wood-grain trim across the door panels and the dash for yet another layer of lavishness. Aluminum trim adds the final touch that gives the Avalon a unique look throughout the cabin.

Finally, the 9-inch color touch-screen display that sits in the middle of the dashboard offers a floating appearance that’s appealing to the eye and easy to use. Dual-zone climate control rounds out the top interior amenities that make the Avalon a force in the luxury segment.

As the flagship sedan of the Toyota lineup, the 2019 Toyota Avalon has some huge shoes to fill. However, its new features and aesthetics show that it’s up to the task, making it an stunning entrant in the competitive luxury market.
