Every car has its demographic and just because Toyota Avalon seems to appeal to an older crowd gives us no right to judge or label it as a senior mover or a grandpamobile. In fact, the average age of an Avalon owner is 64 years – and they are proud of it!
I’ve been known to drive a car in a similar demographic, so I cast no stones. In fact, the designs of these cars are often the most comfortable and luxurious without being too full of gadgets to be enjoyable. That’s what Toyota is aiming for with Avalon: the buyers who want a quiet, comfortable ride and few distractions.
Your Winter Park new car dealership understands the appeal of the Avalon and this third-generation Avalon has just received a mini makeover which really was needed. Its wider grille, high-intensity headlights, LED taillights, newly-designed wheels and additional chrome make it much more appealing.
The interior is where the real difference can be seen. A more fashionable wood-like trim has been added with textured, dark surfaces to compliment. Leather seats are standard, of course, and when you opt for the Limited model there is a seat ventilation system that heats or cools the seats through the perforated upholstery. Very different.
Winter Park used car customers will also enjoy seeing the Optitron luminescent gauges which give the feel of a cockpit. As an option, buyers can choose a DVD-based navigation system that can be voice activated and uses a rear-view camera for additional safety. This car does come with plenty of technology. Phones and other electronic gadgets can be connected to the sound system via Bluetooth, audio jack or a USB port.
Powering with the same 3.5-liter V6 and six-speed automatic transaxle used in many other Toyota models, the Avalon ensures low engine speeds while in fifth and sixth gears.
When you visit your Winter Park new car dealership to check out the Avalon you will be pleased with the mileage numbers. It boasts 22.6 mpg average during a long trip and the EPA rating is 20 mpg city and 28 mpg highway.
Giving five more inches of leg room in the rear seat and with a base price of $33,205, quite a bit less (almost $4,000) than the comparable Lexus model, Avalon is hands-down a great deal. If your desire runs more to an SUV or a sportier style, Toyota has something for you as well.
Winter Park used car dealers also have a wide selection of certified pre-owned vehicles for customers to choose from. From the cool mini van to eco-friendly hybrids, there is a match for every driver at the local Toyota dealer.
