Used 2021 Toyota Avalon Sedan Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2021 Toyota Avalon is available in five trim levels: XLE, Touring, XSE Nightshade, Limited and TRD. All trims come standard with front-wheel drive and a 3.5-liter V6 engine (301 horsepower, 267 lb-ft of torque) mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is available on the XLE and Touring trims with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (205 hp, 185 lb-ft). An available Toyota Avalon Hybrid is reviewed separately.
Which Avalon trim does Edmunds recommend?
The appeal of the Avalon is its smooth and sophisticated ride, and the Limited trim best exemplifies that experience. It's a step up in price from the base model, but it's surprisingly less costly than the Touring or TRD. Yet the extra touches including authentic leather and wood make it our pick of the bunch.
