The 2021 Toyota Avalon Hybrid is a cruiser that does exactly what you'd expect — provide a comfortable ride and sip fuel in the process. But it has a few tricks up its sleeve too. It turns out to be surprisingly capable on twisty roads, and cabin materials are near-luxury. New for the redesigned model are folding rear seats and a cargo area that offers the same amount of room as the non-hybrid.

2021 Toyota Avalon Hybrid Limited 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
Just moved up from a 2015 Camry LE to "The Beast". The dealership "made an offer I couldn't refuse". I've only driven the car for a week. There are so many bells and whistles (digital) that I recommend going to YouTube and watch the 2020 2Guys and a Ride vehicle features and Infotainment System videos. For more Toyota specifics on the Battery, Hybrid , and Engine watch The Car Nut. … Will assure you about issues about "The Battery"(10 year/150,000 mile warranty on the Battery/Hybrid System). Owners Manual is 580 pages, Infotainment Manual is 300 pages. Worth the read, but you have to drive it sooner or later. The wife and I wanted a bigger car car (I'm 6'1" and getting old), need a car that is easier to get in and out of. The memory seat, steering wheel help big time. When the car is turned off - the seat and steering wheel move out of the way. Open the door the next time and you step in, sit, buckle up, everything moves to where you left it. The Avalon also is a bit lower to the ground. The first you notice is the interior room, comfortable seats and seating position. The car is QUIET! Interior temp is set in Degrees, not Blue Red bar, separate setting for front and separate controls for the back passengers. When driving; the car feels firmly planted to the ground. It does NOT FLOAT. It has a smooth ride. Select the SPORT setting, the suspension tightens up a bit and throttle response increases also. I normally keep it in NORMAL and use SPORT for merging on the Interstate or passing. It's cool to having the key fob in your pocket and you can enter, operate, without having to fumble for keys. Like Blind Spot Warning feature, same for the "RADAR" Cruise Control that adapts to the flow of traffic, and the Heads Up Display is awesome! Most features are customizable. Exterior - Ruby Flame - NOT Burgundy or Red. Just a color that appeals and adapts to the light. The big front grille actually fits the car, pictures don't do it justice. I will update more later on. I have2 things to experience yet - snow and the grades on I70 between Denver and Glenwood Springs. It's a Toyota, buy with confidence!
Love it!

Great Car

2021 Toyota Avalon Hybrid XLE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
I have the XLE. It has a quiet smooth ride. The seats are softex which I like. I like the safety features such as precollision, rear cross traffic alert, dynamic cruise control and blind spot monitoring in outside mirrors plus other features that I am not yet familiar with.
Great gas mileage

2021 Toyota Avalon Hybrid Limited 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
What led me to buy a new Toyota was gas mileage. I looked at all their models and test drove them all. I settled for the 2021 Avalon Hybrid Limited as I felt it was the quietest and it advertised 42/42 city and hwy estimated mileage. Very accurate city mileage but highway was off to my pleasure. I averaged 48 mpg on my trip from Florida to Boston, Mass!!!!!
