2021 Toyota Avalon

If you and yours are in the hunt for a full-sized luxurious road cruiser that floats down the highway and has the power to surprise, then you need to put the new Toyota Avalon for 2021 at the top of your list to check out.  This new Avalon just checks all the boxes and recently took first place in Motor Trend's best car buys for full-size sedans.

The Consumer Reports also gave the Avalon one of their coveted “check marks” for a Recommended Vehicle with extremely high grades for reliability and owner satisfaction.  But really, don't take anyone's word for it and just do your own due diligence with an up close and personal inspection of the Toyota Avalon with the friendly folks at Hixson Toyota located at 11981 Lake Charles Highway in Leesville, Louisiana or by calling the dealership at 337.239.3434 and see for yourself if it meets your expectations.  Easy as that.  

You will quickly find out that handsome big sedan is lauded for its comfort, roominess, powerful V6 300 hp engine, resale value, premium ride quality and has the fit and finish that compares with the pricier large luxurious sedans.  Another plus is that the new Avalon attracts attention wherever it travels because of its “eye catching” upscale exterior.  So, what is new for 2021?

The Avalon for the first time has All-Wheel Drive available for those who desire more confidence in their drive times.  Also, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa integration is now standard.  The Avalon continues to offer an efficient hybrid and the popular sporty TRD edition.  There really is a model for just about every type of buyer seeking a large sleek-looking sedan that is elegant at every angle. 

In your test drive, you will discover that in this large quiet comfy cabin, it feels like you are floating as you zip down the highway. Even the recently introduced Avalon TRD model, with its lower ride height and stiffer suspension remains at its best as a comfortable cruiser.  In the new AWD Avalon, the V6 is replaced with the tried and true feisty 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine. 

If you like great fuel economy, then check out the Avalon Hybrid as it uses a 4-cylinder engine and battery-electric powertrain with no plugging in an electrical outlet.  You will smile as you cruise by those thirsty gas pumps as you get over 40 mpg in this exceptionally large road cruiser.  Also, standard is the Toyota Safety Sense Plus (TSS-P) which boasts an impressive slew of active safety and driver assistance features. Thank you, Toyota. 

Sliding inside the refined cabin, you will be impressed with the abundance of room available even for your 6 footers front and rear with available quilted leather.  Also, at your fingertips is Toyota's user-friendly tech setup for your entertainment and communication desires.  The bet is on that you will leave with a smile, not only because you brought back that important “fun factor” in your drive times, but for the great deal you received.
