Toyata Avalon 2013 The new breed

The new breed 

Started with inspiration

There was only one rule followed when creating the 2013 Avalon. To make some ting, it better be good. To create some thing entirely new. It to be radical. It's designed and assembled exclusively in the United States. The purest expression of everything about driving. From this point forward, driving a Toyota will never be the same.

The science of luxury

A place where art and technology converge 

Joy. Excitement. Desire. One touch can communicate so many things. This was the idea behind the technology that surrounds you in the 2013 Avalon. We created sleek IntelliTouch™ controls that are simple to adjust, available Entune®1 that gives you access to more information than ever before, and an available backup camera2 that helps guide you into, or out of, the tight spots. Not only can Avalon give you clear vision of what’s behind you, it can also give you a glimpse of the future.

A tailored environment

A new era in the art of making cars

Imagine an environment that feels as if it were created just for you. A space with controls that invite interaction, seats that cradle and lights that welcome.Technology would simplify, not complicate, and also adapt to your needs. You would be surrounded by beautifully stitched leather that feels handcrafted and luxurious to the touch. We put all of this in the Avalon’s spacious interior and designed it to fit together seamlessly.

 Passion that performs

A bold way of looking at performance

Our goal was to redefine the art of driving. No detail was overlooked. We started with less to finish with more. We designed a lighter body with a drag coefficient of .28. Each panel was sculpted to help quiet the wind. The chassis was made more rigid for better handling and a crisper response. Then we shaved 119 pounds off the final weight. This is a new era in performance, and we broke every rule to bring you the purest expression of driving.

Performance that inspires

The art of driving has returned

It all started with a desire for a more connected driving experience. We designed available paddle shifters that allow a driver to change gears with the touch of a finger. We built an engine as powerful as it is efficient with a 3.5-liter V6 that produces 268 horsepower and offers an EPA-estimated 31 mpg4 highway. Avalon is an absolute breakthrough in high-end driving and a bold new direction for the road ahead.

A radically new drive

Introducing the Avalon Hybrid

An uncompromising level of performance was our goal for the new Avalon Hybrid. A driving experience that was more than refined — it was revolutionary.We used our proven Hybrid Synergy Drive system that delivers a spirited ride while at the same time offering up to an EPA-estimated 40 mpg4 and an Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (AT-PZEV) emission rating. The world is accelerating, and we’re leading the charge.

  

Safety

Inspired by the unexpected

It would be great to drive in a world with no surprises, a world where everyone paid attention while they were driving. That world does not exist. The moments when things don’t go as planned inspired the six advanced features in the Star Safety System.An available Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) can signal the unseen, and a backup camera-2 helps you with the unknown. Add a class-leading ten standard airbags 9-10 and you have a system working together with one purpose in mind: a more confident drive.

Art of the interior

Toyota created a space that would adapt to your needs. We put the driver at the center of everything: Welcoming seats, intuitive technology and spacious design — all with a premium feel. This is a new era in the art of making cars.
