My mom bought a 2016 Avalon Hybrid Limited, so comfortable. All the safety tech, low miles, heated/cooled seats, sunroof, way nicer than the 2018 Prius she was going to get. I'm glad I told my mom to look at the used cars before she bought a new car. The Avalon was only a few thousand more, but such a better car.

Agree! I bought a used 2014 Avalon Hybrid, and the somewhat lower MPG compared to the Prius is actually excellent for a car that size (30-32 MPG in mixed urban driving, 42-44 MPG on the Interstate). The comfort and luxury in the Avalon is light years better than the Prius, which comes in handy on long trips. Even the 2013-15 Avalons with the stiffer suspension than the 2016 and newer models ride better than a Prius.

I had my heart set on the new Prius, I realized the price point was too high so I started looking at Camry's and for the first time to test drive the Avalon. Bar none I believe I'm making the right decision.

One thing I HIGHLY RECOMMEND on 2013-2018 Avalons: Add a strut bar to the engine compartment! This tightens up the handling of this car as it hugs the road with a strut bar.

I bought a 2016 Avalon XLE from a medical courier with 265k. He highway miled the hell out of this car. Checked his maintenance records and he kept up with the record. I’ve had it for 5k miles. Got my first oil change and tire rotation a few days ago. Shifts smoothly and it’s a fast car for its size.

I just learned something that is important to me. The Blind Spot Monitor on my 2013 Avalon Limited stopped working about a year ago. I assumed it somehow got bumped out of alignment in the bumper which I heard could cost up to $2,000 to realign, but now I know this is a common problem and not an alignment issue.

Currently experiencing the same. Did you ever get it fixed please?

I have a 2013 Avalon XLE Hybrid (Blizzard Pearl) I bought as a certified used (3 year lease return) car. Traded in an 05 Prius with 220k which was falling apart at the end. Biggest fix on the Prius was the HID headlight leveling sensor failed, and I got the last replacement in the US, as it was the same week as the Fukushima disaster, Torrance couldn't get anymore. That repair required the whole front clip to be removed to replace a chip. Unreal. This Avalon though is by far the best car I've ever owned. Was looking at a new Prius at the time but test drove this Avalon, since they were comparable in price, and the Avalon felt so much better to drive; so much ROOM! The sales people were using it as their snack trip runner because it was the nicest used in the lot. I just had the blind spot monitor stop working, good to know there was a TSB for the issue. Thanks for the vid, great stuff! :-)

I took it to the dealer and had the transmission flushed and they said that the transmission was fine, I came back 2 weeks later for the same thing and they told me I needed a transmission, that it was an internal issue and said it would cost $3,500 to fix.

We’ve had our 2015 xle for a few years now and it’s been a wonderful car. We do regular oil changes with good oil and factory filters, the trans was serviced at 70k. The only issues we’ve had so far have been the electric power steering damper bushing and the vinyl peeling on the front armrests. We love it and plan on keeping it for along time.

I own a '06 XLS and a '12 avalon Lmt....they are without a doubt the MOST Reliable Cars i have ever had. I installed stiffer struts and springs and did a cat back exhaust with hi-flows. They are still pretty quiet, fast as a cat, and still retain that comfortable ride of that generation.

I bought a Toyota Certified used 2014 Avalon Hybrid Limited. I absolutely love it! I have considered trading it in for an SUV like the Highlander or Highlander Hybrid because my needs have changed since I bought it in 2017. The thing is, after I test drive an SUV (even Toyota) and get back in my Avalon, I think to my self, "You fool! How can you even think about giving it up!" (I may well just rent an SUV the three or four times a year I really need it, or maybe even get a "beater" SUV for those occasions.) Regarding mileage, my mixed city/highway driving is around 32 MPG, quite acceptable for such a large car. In pure Interstate driving, I get 42-44 MPG, depending on how often I use Sport Mode.

Recently purchased a 2014 Toyota Avalon hybrid LXE. Very comfy and smooth drive. It is a bit stiff but still very enjoyable to drive. Got a couple issues. The tire pressure system light came on. All tires are properly inflated. Occasionally a get a, "hill start", usually after a harsh stop, but not always. It'll jerk a bit when that happens. The radio as said sometimes fails to load bluetooth off my phone. A simple changing source to radio and back fixes it

My 2014 has had several problems. The back of the seat did come off, the armrest on console and driver door wore out. The gas tank had to be changed (at my expense). Generally speaking, it’s a very comfortable, low noise, fast accelerating and reliable car. Thank you.

One of the cool features besides the lumbar is the thigh support on that trim. One thing I wish was increased was the fuel tank capacity which gives your ~280 miles per trip. Second, an add-on would be to increase the size of side mirrors. Since this Toyota model is being discontinued and if you like it, I suggest going with the Lexus ES 350 (my neighbor’s choice with an additional $5k on top of it).

Great info and I agree, excellent car. Leased a 2013 XLE Touring in Nov of that year thinking that I was done working overseas after 6 years. Wanted low payments as no job. Went back overseas May of 2014, early return wasn't worth it even with less than 4,000 miles on it. Bought the car at the end of the lease with around 10k miles. 6 years overseas again, car now has 17,781 on the clock. Was thinking about selling for a new Highlander, trade in not worth getting rid of. Radio is my only issue which is why I'm on KZread looking for info. Maybe I'll take it in for radio updates and be done with the problem. Not sure if newer NAV units from Pioneer, Alpine etc are available or worth the bucks. Apple Car Play would be nice.

My father sold my son his 2015 Avalon Limited. Only 40k miles, in immaculate condition. Very nice car and so far only real issue has been the infotainment system, fixed with an update and deleting grandma's iPhone (seems to be the root cause). I'd really advise against hybrid-my wife had to trade in her 2008 Highlander when the ABS module failed-$2.5k part and no indie dealer wanted to touch the job as it ties into the high voltage system of the hybrid. The dealership was asking more than the part cost in labor. Car was already at 250k miles with a ticking hybrid main battery, but sad to trade it in as it was in amazing shape. The non-hybrid likely would have lasted at least 500k!

I have a 2006 Land Cruiser too closeto 300k miles and I'm just now having issue that are minor and someone is always asking if I want to sell it lol. Today I just signed a contract for a 2015 Avalon XLE priced at $17,998 with 117k miles. The external and internal is immaculate as if no one rode in the car too much. It was a rental in the beginning and used 20k miles and the rest was only one owner. No accident damage and a boatload of positive service records made by the owner who had the car the majority of the vehicle. I felt so comfortable and relaxed in the car. Question, which gas do you use? Can anyone share their thoughts about the 2015 pros/cons? When I saw the sales person park the car I hear breaks squeaking, I need to report that to him tomorrow.

Thank you. Good info.

(In case you didn't see it) and better seen on large TV. Cast to your home television. At exactly 11:00 min. Into the video. There is an orb that slowly fades in and going top to bottom in the left hand corner of the screen. IT IS AN ORB, FOR SURE! Super cool though. You definitely have some benevolent spirits watching over you.😇 Strangely enough I had a feeling out of nowhere that I was going to see something . I have spent a lot of time on debunking things of that nature and that was 100% an orb... ☑️Non erratic path. ☑️Perfectly round translucent ball ☑️ Fade-in and fade-out without changing size .

BTW, you also discussed a pet peeve of mine that is a general car issue and not specific to the Avalon or even Toyota. If it was up to me, I would not buy a car with a moonroof. It's one more thing that can break down, potentially expensive to repair, and prone to leaking from the gasket/seal around the glass. Unfortunately, it's not an option because it's generally part of a package; if you want the heated/cooled seats or other goodies, you have to take the moonroof (that goes with a lot of manufacturers, not just Toyota).

As a birthday present in 2017, I bought a Toyota Certified used 2014 Avalon Limited Hybrid and haven't regretted it since. It's worth expanding your search scope to find one, even to Atlanta, Nashville, Memphis, and Birmingham.

The fuel door on my Avalon if you wash your car and it's below 32° the door will not open sometimes because the tab that holds the door closed is Frozen and reaching in the trunk to release it will not work in some cases so I poured some hot water in the crease of the door and that usually released it

Hey there! I love your channel. Great job. Curious, I have a 2014 Limited Avalon which I love. However, I am beyond enamored with the 2019 to 2022 Touring and XSE versions. I was wondering what your opinion was of the newer, and sadly final, version of the great Avalon. Thanks!

I’m in the same boat, I’m looking at the newer touring models, but unfortunately my budget is only going to allow me a 2016 limited. Unless I find one closer to $20k in the next week.

Thank you for the great videos and information! One request, could you give me your thoughts on the 2022 Avalon hybrid and differences between 2018? Are any changes worth spending the extra money or waiting a few years for used prices to go down a little?

💯🆗 great video man

Another great video. In your honest opinion, what year would you recommend between 2005 and 2010? I know this is off topic from your video but I would really like to know. Thanks.

I would stay towards the 2008-2010 they had some improvements that are worth it

I own 14 Avalon Hybrid Touring! Awesome car my only complaint is the suspension is tight! It has 140k miles and not a single problem! This is pretty much a Lexus es 350H at a Toyota price tag!

I own the same vehicle. I switched to the 2016 struts and they drop right in and the ride is greatly improved.

@@Reb7771 yes I did the same thing to my 13 Toyota Avalon hybrid... I had dealer installed struts and springs put in at 60000 miles because after about ten Thousand Miles the harsh suspension got on my nerves... A good investment for $1,600 especially if you live in a pot hole City

@@Reb7771 Yeah, they made the suspension better for that model year with the exception of the Touring trim (although, that trim was supposed to be a more "sporty" trim).

Hi! After initially watching this video, I bought a 2013 Avalon Ltd. Hybrid. I'm very pleased with the car and thank you for your video. I'm getting ready to take my first trip, and want to inspect the hybrid battery cooling system filter. (Peering through the air intake, it looks pretty dirty in that area.) I've removed the seat and the bolts at the bottom of the driver's side seat back next to the air intake for the cooling system. There's a little flip up panel behind the seat back (1 0f 3 total) exposing a release for the anchor holding the top of the seat back. It's appears that I should just pull up on the release, but it's extremely tight and I don't want to damage anything. How do I proceed to access the filter? Any suggestions that you can give me would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks to God because of Toyota Avalon XLE one guy hit and run off car was spinning still i am alive unfortunately my Avalon got damaged saved my life. i am really thanks to god for this car, it very conformable luxury car it beautiful i love it guys u should buy Avalon i brought the another one too. it my angel carrying me around where ever i want to go. i love it.

As I mentioned before in an other comment section... I have a 13 Toyota Avalon Limited hybrid with 80,000 miles... Now I knew before I purchase it used with 50000 miles the ride was a little harsh... But after about 10000 miles of driving on rough roads and Bridge Expansion Joints the ride really got on my nerves so I went to the dealership and swapped out struts and springs for a 16 model year for a smoother ride... it was roughly $1,800 parts and labor... in my opinion it was worth the investment considering I'm keeping the car or at least another five years

I agree with this being a worthy investment! The difference is big and noticeable when you drive a 13-15 and 16+

I haven't done this yet with my 2014 Avalon Hybrid Limited, but I subscribe to a Toyota Avalon users forum, and quite a few of the participants on the forum have replaced some of the suspension parts on their 2013-15 models with 2016-18 parts. Most if not all of the parts are exact fit and require no modification. It's certainly cheaper than trading or selling it to get a 2016-18 model, especially if you love the car otherwise and don't want an extended car payment.

@TheCarCareNut Great in-depth review! 👍🏾! So I am 6’4 and wanting to purchase the 2016 Avalon hybrid XLE PLUS but I am concerned about the room for my long legs especially during long rides! So I was wondering if it’s spacious and roomy for a tall driver like me? And is it a good idea to buy it? I need your help! Please and thank you!

Do you have a video like this for 2005 to 2012 year models?

Thx!!
