Is the 2020 Toyota Avalon TRD enough PERFORMANCE for the PRICE?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The ULTIMATE Toyota Avalon is here with the TRD edition. This Avalon TRD is NOT all show and no GO. Toyota has taken there TRD engineering to make this the best performing Avalon ever created. From it's wind tunnel tested body work to it's lighter wheels and suspension. Has Toyota done enough to make the Avalon TRD performance WORTHY?

@guy proulx True on the account of Camry and Corolla models. Those vehicles sell in still astronomical numbers. Avalon, however, is a different story. This video is about the Avalon, after all. Avalon sales have essentially tanked. Not to mention that the car is simply too similar to the Lexus ES that the reasons to purchase the Avalon over it are almost negligible. I like the Avalon a lot but as with the Cressida before it, which was cancelled due to its own similarity to the Lexus line, fewer consumers are interested in cars these days, which is not helping the Avalons case.
Eh, Honda should settle this beef and make an Accord Type-R for 2020.

You guys keep begging for more horsepower but yet want to pay for it. If they bumped it to 330hp and added 10k on the price its competing with Lexus territory, then you would be saying "Who is going to pay 50k for a Avalon". Toyota is smart they know what they're doing. Nowadays you barely can use all of that on the road unless you live in a old country town with only 2 cars on the road. Stop being horsepower junkies!

Avalon is known for its luxurious soft and quiet ride. Putting a TRD package on it without increasing the performance of the engine in fact has a negative effect on the car. Now you have a meaner looking, stiffer, bumpy and noisy car but without any performance gain. The question is why this package even exist for Avalon? They could at least put awd on it from the Lexus GS series. Toyota shouldn’t slap a TRD package on everything.

The Aztech or a Toyota
As a new owner of the Avalon TRD, I will say that I love the feel of driving a car again. After driving SUV's, CUV's, and trucks for the last twenty years, it is refreshing to drive a car that helps me remember that driving can be fun. As a family man, who has kids to tow around, it is nice to have a reliable sports sedan that is capable and functional at the same time. Do I wish that it had more HP? Yes. However, for the actual driving that I do, 301 HP is enough. Will I choose to tune the car in the future? Sure, why not.
AWD is needed for TRD badging. There's something always missing with these car companies. These top notch car badges either have weak engines or incomplete driving dynamics.

This version of Avalon is the version to me of the Scion tC with 4 doors 6 cylinders nd 20k more expensive !! I think the car is great and I really like it but I feel like it’s overpriced. It would be great if you can compare a Scion tC 2016 with this trd Avalon . You will feel like there isn’t much difference despite the tC being a 4 cylinder ( and 20 k cheaper)

The stiffer suspension and low profile tires will mean a rough ride. If you want a sporty car with a rough ride, I can think of far better options than the Avalon (at a comparable price). The Avalon is supposed to be comfy and gentle. This TRD Avalon is completely counter-intuitive to why people buy this car in the first place.

2 pistons on brakes for the front. Like I said before, it would be nice to have a TRD aftermarket Supercharger or other mods, but they are going for dependability, durability, and reliability. It's expensive already, if Toyota felt they should put more horsepower for the TRD name, they would have, but IMHO, it's more than enough, unless you are going to drag race, which is kind of pointless. The Civic Type R has about the same horsepower, and so did the Buick GNX decades ago, with a turbo. This is bigger than I would want now, even more so than the Camry, but it's looks nicer than the Camry. But I would buy it, if I had the money, but the Rav4 TRD would probably be more practical for me. Red would be my last choice, and then the black, so I would prefer the Silver, and then white... I think this is well done as is. Especially with the JBL sound system with the CD player. I believe it still has one, better have, might be moved to the bottom like the new Lexus ES 300. Btw, are these for sale, now?

Defy Convention it’s a post GM bailout so the new Chevy blazer is trash. Chevy gets the worst reliability of “American” companies for the past 10 years. If you live the look just lease it and let them deal with the problems when your done. Don’t buy it if you want something to last 10+ years, 200k+ mileage.

Can you explain how the trd is more compelling to get over a v6 Camry or base model Avalon? I think my money is better spent on the v6 Camry/base Avalon if I was forced to buy it.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this Avalon Dylan.
Joe Raiti's, I have a 2020 Avalon XLE in Black to me the Avalon is the sister of the Lexus. The Avalon you don't find the similarities between the old Models Toyota did a marvelous job in updating and adding more style and aggression especially the front face has that mean look to the Avalon. At least I don't have to drive the older grandpa model because now with the 2020 Avalon I'm driving with style and good looks.

@@yourmanzach2307 I don't know about that because looks are subjective. I think it looks nice but not great. American cars has gotten a lot better lately and that's coming from a once hardcore toyota fan. I swore I'd never own any American cars back then and now my last two new cars have been American cars. Adding the TRD touch and selling the Avalon at $46k is not enough to win me over. If I want a performance sedan I'd take a hard look at the kia Stinger GT or Genesis G70.
