With the calendar year winding down into the fall and the blustery winter to come, 2015 models of all kinds of vehicles are dropping. Your Naperville Area Toyota dealer wants to make sure you don’t miss your chance to get into a 2014 Avalon Limited.

 

Safety

The best place to start when checking out the Avalon is with its impeccable safety record. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has given the Avalon excellent rankings and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave the Avalon a five-star rating. This is because of an advanced system of airbags, including the standard driver and front passenger airbags, but also knee airbags for front seats, curtain airbags for front and rear, and rear-mounted torso airbags for backseat passengers.

 

Other safety features included in the Avalon Limited:

Vehicle stability control

Traction control

Anti-lock brakes

Electronic brake distribution

Smart Stop Technology

Whiplash-reducing seats

Collision sensors and alerts

Blind spot monitoring

 

Performance

Despite its safety factors, the Avalon hasn’t skimped on power or ability. The Limited comes with a 3.5-liter, six-speed V6 engine. With dual independent variable valve timing, the Avalon can deliver 268 horsepower and 248 pounds of torque at the same time that it can deliver a combined 25 miles per gallon.

 

And if you thought you’d need to lose out on some of the technology perks that Toyota has to offer, you’re sorely mistaken. The Limited comes standard with dual-zone climate control, a 6.1-inch touchscreen display for AM/FM, CD, auxiliary jack, and USB port with iPod connectivity and Bluetooth integration.
