There are some who argue that a luxury car needs to come from one of a few, elite carmakers and must cost a small fortune. The good folks at Toyota don’t agree. The way they see it, everyone should be able to get the kind of luxury they deserve. That’s why they make the 2015 Avalon Limited, available from Continental Toyota, your La Grange Area Toyota dealer.

 

Under the Hood

The Avalon uses a 3.5-liter V6 engine. Using variable valve timing, multi-point fuel injection, and a high efficiency automatic transmission, the Avalon delivers 268 horsepower and 248 pounds of torque as well as an EPA-estimated 31 miles per gallon on the highway.

 

On the Road

The horsepower alone will allow you to accelerate in the red, but the independent front and rear suspensions use a combination of struts, coil springs, multi-link, and stabilizer bars to create a feel that is smooth without losing the curves. Top it off with a manual mode for a real driving feel.

 

Inside the Bones

It’s four-wheel, anti-lock disc brakes are managed through a brake assist system to help you stop faster and safer. Electronic traction and stability control make sure your wheels are doing everything they can. Inside, intelligent airbags adapt to crash conditions to minimize injury.

 

In the Lap of Luxury

Let’s begin with cruise control, power windows, and remote locks. Then let’s add triple-zone climate control, leather upholstery, and a sunroof. Finally, let’s throw in on-board navigation and an 11-speaker JBL audio system with SiriusXM, color touchscreen, and Bluetooth streaming.
