14741555637_0a59a0cfcc_b-1Comfortable, elegant, and spacious, the 2017 Toyota Avalon stands out among other large sedans. After undergoing a complete redesign in 2013, the vehicle has had several meaningful updates since then. Take a look at some of the reasons to love the newest Avalon.

New Standard Features

In the past, the Safety Sense package was optional only on the Limited trim. But for 2017, Toyota gives all Avalons the high-tech safety gear from this package. Drivers enjoy the protection of lane departure alerts and intervention, automatic braking to prevent a crash, automatic high-beam headlights, and forward collision warnings. Combining safety and convenience, adaptive cruise control is also now standard on the Toyota Avalon.

More of the Same Great Features

For 2017, the Avalon continues to offer many of the features consumers love. To make the cabin more comfortable, all Avalon sedans come with dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, and leather upholstery. The top three trims come with Qi wireless charging for smartphones, an enhanced speaker system, smartphone app integration, and built-in navigation.

Under the hood, the 2017 Toyota Avalon has the same 3.5-liter V6 engine that earned rave reviews for the 2016 model. It kicks out 268 horsepower, more than enough to make merging and passing feel effortless.

A Cut Above Competitors

The Avalon distinguishes itself with its array of standard features. For example, not many large sedans offer standard leather upholstery. Not many competitors offer the same level of standard amenities at a price that’s in the midrange compared to others in its class.

One of the best ways to experience the 2017 Toyota Avalon is to schedule a test drive with your local dealership.
