The exterior design of the four-door has been tweaked, and there are new things inside too. The top “traditional” version was removed from the range, but a junior hybrid appeared.
The Toyota Avalon sedan was originally conceived primarily for America, but the model has left the States for a couple of years now. The reason is collapsed demand. So from now on, the main market for the big four-door is China. They sell locally produced cars; the FAW Toyota joint venture is responsible for production. The Chinese Avalon underwent a full restyling in 2022. And now the sedan has been modernized again: the premiere was held today, July 12.
There are no major changes in appearance this time — just retouching. As before, Toyota Avalon is available with two versions of the radiator grille. The initial versions have horizontal stripes and «plates», and they are now completely silver (the pre-reform sedan has black decor with shiny inclusions), thanks to which the «grill» looks more massive. Expensive versions — with a mesh grille (the pattern itself has been changed).

Customers will no longer be able to choose a sedan with chrome trim on the rear bumper. But the palette of body colors has been expanded, and wheels of a new design have appeared (the model is equipped with 17-, 18- or 19-inch wheels). Dimensions are the same. Avalon length is 4990 mm, width – 1850 mm, height – 1450 mm, wheelbase – 2870 mm.

Inside, there is a new steering wheel and improved finishing materials. In addition, richer trim levels received a more responsive multimedia system with a 12.3-inch diagonal touchscreen. The simpler versions have a 10.25-inch screen. The list of equipment also includes (depending on the version): a head-up display, virtual instrumentation, climate control and a set of safety systems called Toyota Pilot.

“Traditional” version with naturally aspirated 2.5 (207 hp) and classic eight-speed automatic transmission gamma is excluded. The sedan now has one purely petrol modification — with a 2.0 engine (173 hp) and a CVT. At the same time, a hybrid option has been added with installation based on a two-liter engine, the total output is 197 hp. At the top of the range is still a hybrid with 2.5, the total power of this Avalon is 230 hp. Front-wheel drive only.
The price of the modernized Toyota Avalon sedan ranges from 178,800 to 256 800 yuan, which is equivalent to approximately 2.1 million — 3.08 million rubles at the current exchange rate.
Meanwhile, earlier some Russian dealers established “parallel” supplies of Chinese-made Avalon. Sedans of the 2022 model can still be found in showrooms. By the way, Kolesa.ru tested such a Toyota, details are in our material.
