As a part of the new generation of Avalon models introduced in 2019, the 2020 Toyota Avalon continues updating its features, style, and capability for a better model with each year. This year an exciting new TRD model has been introduced. Here’s everything you need to know about the 2020 Toyota Avalon.
Technology
No matter which Avalon trim level you choose, you’ll enjoy some impressive technology features. Toyota’s Audio Plus infotainment system comes standard with the base model and includes a 9-inch touch screen, voice recognition, hands-free calling, Bluetooth, and smartphone integration. Get quick and easy access to your apps and music thanks to the Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa systems.
An upgraded audio system is also available on all trims for added features like integrated navigation and a JBL premium sound system. Other available technology upgrades include a Wi-Fi hot spot, Toyota Remote Connect smartphone connection for remote starting and vehicle locating, and a wireless charging pad.
TRD Performance
If you’re looking for top-notch performance features and capability, you’ll want to check out the new Avalon TRD. This model was created by the Toyota Racing Development (TRD) crew and is built to impress. Starting with the exterior style, the TRD model features 19-inch alloy wheels in matte black that contrast beautifully with the red brake calipers that show through the spokes. These wheels don’t just look good – the large rotors with dual-piston calipers give you the stopping ability you need while tearing up the roads.
The overall stance of the TRD model is ideal for impressive performance. Coil springs lower the Avalon more than half an inch for better handling because of its lower center of gravity. Specifically designed shocks provide agility and tight body control for precise handling. Inside the TRD model, you’ll be able to thoroughly appreciate its sporty style thanks to red accent stitching, Ultrasuede seat inserts, and unique TRD badging.
Luxury
Depending on the trim level you choose, you’ll get a cabin filled with luxurious features. The Limited trim offers Cognac leather-trimmed seating with two-tone stitching and sound-proofing for a quieter ride. Certain trim levels also include real wood trimming throughout the interior for a warm and comfortable feel. The new design of the center console makes the sleek 9-inch touch screen look like it’s hovering in front of the dashboard.
The 2020 Avalon doesn’t forget about your backseat passengers. Upper trims come with dual-zone automatic climate control with rear vents and rear heated seats. Other available luxury features include a 10-inch head-up display, ambient lighting, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.
Hybrid
The new Avalon also offers a Hybrid model for drivers who want even better fuel economy than the already impressive numbers the Avalon gas models offer. Its 2.5-liter Dynamic Force Engine with a Sequential Shiftmatic allows you to switch between ECO, EV, and Normal modes for optimal efficiency and performance every time you’re behind the wheel.
