The full-size flagship sedan. Comfortable, quiet, with an available V6 and TRD trim.
The Toyota Avalon was the brand full-size flagship sedan, prioritizing comfort, quietness, and a spacious, near-luxury interior. Powered for years by a smooth V6 and later offered as a hybrid, the Avalon delivered effortless cruising and Toyota reliability in a large, refined package. Later Avalons added bolder styling and even a TRD performance trim, an unexpected sporty turn for the comfort-focused sedan. The Avalon was discontinued in 2022 as the market shifted to SUVs, ending Toyota traditional large-sedan line. On WhipJury, Avalon submissions favor V6 and the rare TRD cars.
