| 2013 Toyota Avalon |
Toyota has totally redesigned the large Avalon flagship sedan for the latest model year, with a fresh new body. The mechanicals are carried over, but there is a newly-added hybrid
model. It's the first Avalon to get a four-cylinder engine, as all
previous ones used Toyota's corporate 3.5-liter V6, good for 268
horsepower and 248lb-ft of torque.
The new-generation car continues to get this powerplant, sending
motivation to the front wheels exclusively through a six-speed
automatic. The transmission has been reprogrammed to be more responsive
and efficient and gets a lower differential gear drive. There is also a
transmission fluid warmer for prolonging its life.
