Toyota has got great news! The
all-new 2013 Toyota Avalon, which will be available for sale later this year at
our
Route 9 West showroom in Westboro,
gives you the option to choose between a powerful V6 gasoline powertrain and
Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive. This is the first
full-hybrid being offered in the premium mid-size segment, and the Toyota
Avalon’s new hybrid model is expected to deliver excellent fuel economy with an
EPA-rating of 40 mpg combined.
To add to the buzz that’s been brewing here at Westboro Toyota over the 2013 model, the new Avalon features a stunning design and improved dynamic performance. There’s even more refinement for 2013, and we think you’ll especially fall in love with it for its comfort and spaciousness. Plus, it’s equipped with many amenities of convenience you’ve come to crave in your luxury vehicle! If you’re in the market for a new vehicle that’s great on gas and is environmentally friendly, the 2013 Toyota Avalon Hybrid may be the car for you!
The Avalon Hybrid features a 2.5-liter, Atkinson-cycle, four-cylinder engine, a 244.8-volt nickel-metal hydride battery pack, and a pair of electric motor/generators within the transaxle. The electric-motor power application and regenerative braking is seamless, thanks to the engine compartment’s power-control unit, which houses an inverter, a DC-DC converter, a step-up converter (raises voltage to a maximum of 650 volts) and the hybrid-drive ECU.
With 200 horsepower, the Avalon Hybrid operates in three modes: EV (operates solely on electric propulsion under certain conditions), ECO (gas motor engaged with reduced throttle response to improve efficiency) and SPORT (alters the throttles response and enhances the feel of the steering). The EV mode can be engaged for up to one mile at speeds up to 25 mph, providing an all-electric option that’s convenient for when you’re driving in residential areas or around parking garages.
Another great thing about the Avalon hybrid is that the battery pack, comprised of 204 cells, is smartly housed behind the rear seats in the trunk so there’s still ample cargo space there.
For those of you
seeking a traditional engine, the 2013 Toyota Avalon’s proven 3.5-liter DOHC V6
engine, with a six-speed automatic transmission, delivers responsive and
efficient performance, too. How does zero to 60 mph in under seven seconds
sound?!
Plus, the new 2013 Toyota Avalon’s powertrain programming has been updated with ECO (prioritizes fuel efficiency by reducing the power application at lower speeds while cutting back on energy consumed by the A/C system), NORMAL, and SPORT (increases the acceleration responses though altered engine control unit (ECU) programming and gives a more direct and responsive steering feel) modes. The result: The 2013 V6 gasoline powertrain model of the Toyota Avalon achieves an EPA-rated 25 mpg combined!
