Compared with the last model, this new Avalon has a tighter, sportier and more exciting exterior.

At the front the windshield is well raked and curved as it travels back. The hood is broad and it has V shaped cut lines at the hood's edges. The headlights are curved slit units that move back into the front fenders. The grille is a thin unit outlined in chrome. Below the bumper there is a large trapezoidal shape air intake. Black angled insets at the corners house round driving lights.

The Avalon's side profile is long and sleek. It has a coupe like shape including a low roof line (it looks similar to the Lexus ES 350). The upper glass has limited height and accentuates the height of the doors. There is a beveled cut line located just above the door handles as well as a cut line below the door handles. The front and rear fenders are slightly flared at the edges. Otherwise the look is flat and smooth. The front headlights and rear taillights are visible in the fenders.

The interior of the Avalon includes leather and other luxurious materials. The car's overall fit and finish is excellent.

The dash is a bi-level piece that includes distinctive details. There is a 6.1 inch touchscreen centered in the dash. The front bucket seats are broad, comfortable and have moderate side bolstering. The rear provides extensive legroom and room to seat up to three adults.

The brakes are discs at all four corners measuring 11.6 inches at the front and 11 inches at the rear. The Avalon's 60-0 mph stopping distance is in 118 feet. The tires measure 215 55 17 inch. Larger 255 45 18 inch tires are also available.
