In over 26 years of production, Toyota Avalon has combined luxury and premium midsize value. The new Avalon is loaded. I will take it bit by bit for a better understanding.

The design

It would be recalled Toyota did a full redesign of the Toyota Avalon following the release of the 5^th generation in 2019. The car color was not left out in the redesign, any redesign without a nice color combination will be a disaster. The TRD performance model always comes with a two-tone paint option which features a black roof paired with either the Windchill Pearl or new Ice Edge body colors.

Supersonic Red was replaced by Ice Edge which is now available for the other Avalon grades. Midnight Black Metallic is now the third choice for 2021 Avalon TRD.

In the new 2021 Avalon, Parisian Night Pearl has been replaced by Blueprint Color. Some other old colors made its way to 2021, they are Opulent Amber, Harbor Gray Metallic, Celestial Silver Metallic, and Ruby Flare Pearl. The interior color variant is Cognac with Black in the XSE Hybrid and Touring, and, in the Limited, Black replaces Beige.

With black painted 19-ich alloy wheels, black window trim and door handles, and a black shark fin antenna, drivers who are seeking for a more extroverted look will find it in a 2021 Avalon XSE Nightshade Edition. Aside from the above specifications, you will also find XSE black grille, mirror caps, rear spoiler and, name badges.

The Avalon XSE is available in conjunction with the Midnight Black Metallic, Wind Chill Pearl, and Celestial Silver Metallic exterior colors.

The introduction of All-Wheel Drive in Toyota Avalon Line up

2021 Toyota will ever be remembered for being the first model to feature an All-wheel drive. Don’t forget easily that Lexus ES model also added the first-ever all-wheel-drive Lexus ES 250 in 2021. According to the company, the AWD will account for 20 % of Toyota Avalon.

The all-wheel-drive is available as a stand-alone option on the XLE and Limited grades. Dynamic torque Control AWD is combined with the 2.5-liter Dynamic Force four-cylinder engine and teamed up with an eight-speed Direct shift Automatic transmission. The power output in this new powertrain configuration is rated at 205 horsepower.

While minimizing AWD’s typical drag on fuel economy, Dynamic Torque Control AWD provides effective traction control for slippery conditions. It achieves this by direct up to 50% of engine torque to the rear wheel.

Note: the Toyota Avalon AWD is a North America only Model developed in the US and its assembled exclusively at Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky.
