this is the 2019 Toyota Avalon
[Music]
assembled in America like it has been
ever since its introduction in 1994 and
now for 2019 Toyota's sophisticated
flagship sedan has entered its fifth
generation built atop and advanced TMG a
platform the new Avalon takes its famous
emphasis on refinement and technology to
greater heights and adds a healthy
helping of newfound fun to drive
character as well as some serious style
for 2019 Avalon is offered in four
distinct trims three of which can also
be outfitted with an efficient hybrid
powertrain in place of the standard
gasoline engine a powerful 3.5 liter v6
gas or hybrid these four trims can be
divided into two personalities the fun
and daring ecstasy and touring grades
and the refined xle and limited grades
these new xse and touring models don't
just look different either they
completely shatter the mold delivering
engaging driving dynamics like no Avalon
before them
one look at the 2019 Avalon and it's
clear that its designers wanted to
impart a great sense of excitement and
passion into the new model the new
vehicle is both lower and wider than the
model it replaces and it boasts dramatic
eye catching body lines throughout as
well as one of two distinct grilles
flanked by a new tangential venting
design this excitement continues in
Avalon's new hi-tech exterior lighting
systems which are entirely LED on all
grades while all models feature a slim
headlamp design select models also
feature headlamps treated with laser
ablation which gives the lights a
distinct metallic look while still
allowing light to pass through as well
as dynamic auxilary turn signals that
had a hi-tech kick to everyday driving
and adaptive cornering lamps to enhance
visibility during turns lane changes and
even parking
Avalon's new design language is also
evident in its three aluminum wheel
options which range from 17 to 19 inches
in diameter and feature a variety of
finishing options
naturally the ex SE and touring
both get an added dose of performance
design touting sporty elements
throughout like a chrome finished quad
tip dual exhaust system a unique mesh
pattern grille and piano black accents
including the side mirrors and rear
spoiler
Avalon's new interiors so sleek and
stylish it's practically a concept car
and nearly every nook and cranny is
lined with soft touch services and
premium materials including genuine open
pore wood aluminum an even premium
quilted leather trim for limited models
quilted leather trim or not though it
goes without saying that Avalon's cabin
is a place of comfort and convenience
with available four-way lumbar support
on the standard heated front seats and
the 60/40 split folding rear seats
needless to say this nod to traditional
luxury wasn't incorporated at the
expense of innovation with the 2019
Avalon being absolutely jam-packed with
much of Toyotas latest and greatest tech
this can clearly be seen in its vehicle
control center a 7-inch
multi-information display as well as its
center piece of entertainment a nine
inch touchscreen multimedia system
running the Entune 3.0 platform all that
being said it wouldn't be an Avalon if
its cabin didn't exude a sense of peace
and quiet and for 2019 that philosophy
is more true than ever an incredible
amount of care went into ensuring
Avalon's noise vibration and harshness
levels would leave anyone walking away
impressed but for drivers wanting to amp
up the excitement with the throaty sound
of the Avalons 3.5 liter v6 and
available sport tuned exhaust xse and
touring models offer an active noise
control system that eliminates unwanted
engine noise using anti sound wave
technology in conjunction with the car's
audio system working hand-in-hand with
the new engine sound enhancement and
intake sound generator systems in a
combined effort to really get the heart
pumping
Avalon's entertainment functionality
centers around its 9 inch display and
Entune 3.0 multimedia system this
platform boasts all the typical
entertainment features you've come to
expect in a modern premium vehicle
as well as the full array of toyota
connected services Avalon's in tune
system also touts a toyota first
standard apple carplay integration on
all models along with SmartWatch
functionality in Amazon Alexa enabled
remote personal assistant functionality
xle and xse models pump their Entune 3.0
audio Plus media through a standard 8
speaker stereo system while limited in
touring grades get a standard upgrade to
Entune 3.0 premium audio with dynamic
navigation and an earth-shaking 1200
watt JBL audio system with 14 speakers
including a 10.1 inch subwoofer the 2019
Avalon is a serious showcase for
Toyota's latest safety technology this
includes standard star safety system and
Toyota's safety cents P functionality on
all models as well as an astonishing
list of individual safety and driver
assistance systems including standard
blind spot monitor with rear
cross-traffic alert
electronic parking brake with brake hold
available intelligent clearance sonar
and rear cross-traffic braking
bird's-eye view camera with perimeter
scan and even a 10-inch head-up display
system this enormous list of safety and
driver assistance features is rounded
off by a comprehensive array of 10
airbags mounted throughout the cabin
does the 2019 Avalon have the chops to
back up its exciting new looks without a
doubt all 2019 Avalon models are powered
by either a muscular 3.5 liter v6 engine
putting out over 300 horsepower or an
efficient hybrid powertrain the v6 sends
its power to the front wheels via the
new direct shift 8-speed automatic
gearbox while the hybrid unit is made
into a continuously variable
transmission or CVT but this is no
one-trick drag racer Avalon also
features fully independent suspension
and even an available adaptive control
system that continuously adjusts each
wheels individual suspension damping
settings on the fly
helping to optimize both driving comfort
and fun at all times xse and touring
models crank up the fun even further not
just by equipping paddle shifters by the
steering wheel but by implementing some
of the small
drive mode features Toyota has ever made
what does this mean
while these models now have the ability
to completely transform their driving
manners at the push of a button
literally pop from normal mode into eco
or sport or an Avalon touring sport s
Sport S+ or custom and the vehicle
immediately reconfigures itself
adjusting not just the xse or touring
specific cabin sound control systems but
also throttle response transmission
mapping steering feedback and in the
case of touring models even the
suspension this is because Avalon
Touring's drive mode settings are tied
to a new feature called adaptive
variable suspension which we mentioned
earlier this enables Avalon to both
carve corners and navigate choppy roads
all without skipping a beat as Toyota's
flagship sedan it goes without saying
that the 2019 Avalon is absolutely
packed with exciting features and clever
technologies and we couldn't possibly
cover it all in this video so be sure to
