Best Full Size Car: 2014 Toyota Avalon, Best Resale Value Awards

Last year, a totally refreshed Toyota Avalon suddenly took the full – size Sedan market. The starting price, $31,000, was $3000 lower than the model’s it replaced. It looked like a sporty coupe and drove like a luxury sedan. Its spacious leather-trimmed interior, earned a standing ovation from automotive journalists throughout the land.

It dispatched both fuel economy and horsepower that confound its competition. No doubt, the reduced Avalon’s resale value was unbeatable by any other full - size sedan in the US. From the previous anonymity, the 2013 Toyota Avalon was crowned a winner with a Best Resale Value Award in the Full – Size car category.

As the world’s largest auto maker, the company seemingly forgot about engaging cars that related to drivers on both, emotional and visual level. A newly redesigned Camry sent the first signal that Toyota was serious about making interesting cars again.

The Avalon remains front-wheel drive, but in general it’s slightly shorter and wider than the previous model. Although the new Avalon’s smaller dimensions, interior room is actually higher thanks to a greater range of seat arrangements and more efficient sunroof packaging. Seats are heated and ventilated, there is flexible cruise control and navigation, the trunk is larger... outstanding interior quality.

Toyota is positioning the 2013 Avalon as an American sedan, designed and built in the United States and suiting the American taste.

2014 is once more the year for the Toyota Avalon, with the Best Resale Value Award going again to the big Toyota. This repeat performance is all the more impressive considering that two brilliant all – new 2014 vehicles, the Kia Cadenza and Chevrolet Impala, both extraordinary cars,  were deep in the exploration for King of the Hill status in resale value.

The 2014 Avalon’s value pricing, acceptable standard features, outrageously good quality, never-gets-old-styling, and the choice of a 268- horsepower V6 and hybrid fuel economy carried the day.

This year, the 2014 Toyota Avalon is the King of the Hill in resale value.

Lighter 2013 Toyota Avalon to Quench Your Thirst for Saving At the Pump

Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive technology has helped enhance the fuel economy in many vehicles across the fleet of products. Why? Well, there are several reasons, but one of primary note rests with the fact that Toyota’s engineers have been working tirelessly to reduce the weight of its vehicles. 

Take the 2013 Toyota Avalon, for example. The Toyota Technical Center’s (TTC) development team has made the upcoming year’s model lighter, but more rigid, to improve drive performance.

The result of the TTC’s efforts: The 2013 Toyota Avalon is 110 pounds lighter than the 2012 model, making it the lightest vehicle in the premium mid-size segment, Westboro Toyota has learned.

“Our target was to dramatically improve all aspects of dynamic performance, [e]specially in the areas of fuel efficiency, handling and performance,” TTC’s chief Avalon engineer Randy Stephens explained.

Less mass means the 2013 Toyota Avalon will be more responsive and engaged near handling limits, explained the manager in charge of ride and handling in a recent Toyota press release.

Westboro Toyota is pleased to tell you the Avalon isn’t the only Toyota to go “on a diet.” The midsize 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid is more than 200 pounds lighter than the 2011 model!

The lighter the vehicle the more likely you are to get better gas mileage. For instance, the 2013 Toyota Avalon offers a combined 40 mpg EPA-rating. Westboro Toyota sure is glad Toyota’s engineers focused on engineering weight reduction into the structure of the new vehicle. Have you seen gas prices lately? They’re creeping back to the $4 per gallon mark!
