Unlike Avalons of the past, the current Avalon features sophisticated and sleek styling. With a 0.28 coefficient of drag, the Avalon is genuinely aerodynamic, too. Standard equipment includes LED taillights, and as buyers move up the trim level ladder the 2014 Avalon can be optioned with larger 18-inch aluminum wheels, HID headlights, LED running lights, automatic high-beam headlights, rain-sensing wipers, and more.

Inside, the stylish theme continues, and Toyota installs an Intelligent Touch center control panel with touch-sensing controls for the infotainment system and the climate control system. Featuring large buttons, Intelligent Touch is easy to use, but if you press the panel too hard, it creaks. The trim on the door panels also creaks every time you knee rests against it, or braces against it, or you push on it when exiting the vehicle.

Equipped with an 8-way power driver’s seat, a tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel, and soft padding wherever the driver might rest his or her elbow, the 2014 Avalon is a very comfortable car. Front passenger’s might wish for a height adjuster in those trim levels without one.

The main reason to buy a 2014 Toyota Avalon, aside from its sleek styling, is to obtain this cavernous and comfortable back seat. Oddly, though, Toyota does not offer manual side window shades, a feature appreciated by new parents with babies. The back seat does not fold down, either, but it does provide a pass-through from the 16 cu.-ft. trunk for carrying long items such as skis.

In the Avalon Hybrid, a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine is paired with an electric assist motor, a nickel-metal hydride battery pack, a continuously variable transmission (CVT), and a regenerative braking system. The Avalon Hybrid makes 200 horsepower, and it rated to get 40 mpg in combined driving.
