Shoutout to Tommy Mica from @TFLcar for helping us with this video and for joining us in this comparison test!
The #ToyotaAvalon and #ToyotaCamry #Hybrid are two of the most fuel efficient midsize sedans in America and together, they outsold the #ToyotaPrius which #Toyota sold just under 70,000 units in 2019. While the #Prius barely wins the MPG race, with the #CamryHybrid getting up to 52 MPG and the Avalon up to 43 MPG, they both offer up very similar efficiency to a Prius but wrapped in a design that looks like a normal car.

Good evening guys! This is a comparison we filmed back in Oct 2019 with Tommy from The Fast Lane Car, we filmed this BEFORE we drove the Avalon and Camry TRD which both of those videos are already posted so please click on the link in the description if you want to watch one of those. While Toyota does not disclose sales figures of the Camry and Avalon Hybrid's on their own, in 2019 Toyota sold about 336,000 Camry's in America and about 27,000 Avalon's. In contract, Toyota moved about 69,000 Prius's, do you think both of these two hybrid sedans outsold the Prius last year?

According to Automotive News US vehicle production chart in their Jan 20 issue, 2019 Camry Hybrid total production was 29,993 and Avalon Hybrid was 8,233. Assuming only units assembled in US were sold in the US, that’s about 38,000 units sold in US.

Unless you are opting for the TRD Editions of these cars, the Hybrid is the clear choice. The MPG is fantastic for such large cars.

I got the Avalon Hybrid Limited as an upgrade from my old Corolla and I love it. It’s a smooth, quiet ride. Really comfortable to drive and passengers always comment on how comfortable they are, too. It’s got a lot of safety features, the tech is easy to use, and it’s easy and inexpensive to maintain. The only thing that makes me a little nuts is that if I’m pulling into a steep driveway, I have to remember to creep or the bottom of the car will get scuffed up. The front also looks like a whale about to eat some krill. Otherwise, best car I’ve ever had.
The Avalon his my choice car....the leg room is good for my long leg....
Great review!! I am looking at ES hybrid, and would be very keen on a comparison between loaded ES hybrid and Avalon LTD hybrid please

Also the Rav4 I fit in my dads 2017 no problem, went to look at the new one out this year and they cut the headroom over an inch... i dont fit so we bought a Honda CRV.
I have a 2018 Prius 3 Touring. I average 53mpg all day every day and I don't baby it. I wanted a hatchback commuter car with good mpg's. Yeah the styling of the Prius is kinda weird but you get over it when your monthly fuel bill is 1/3 of what it use to be.
I've been wanting to get a hybrid sedan as my next car. This video is a big help
The Camry SE's styling is better, but the Avalon is much nicer inside. More comfortable seats, higher quality leather, better sound system & better ride quality.
Prius started the Hybrid revolution and for almost 2 decades, had no real competition. But unfortunately it just couldn't cope with the modern needs. This is why other vehicles in toyota lineup - camry, avalon and rav4 hybrids are born to take the hybrid march ahead!

I have a 2003 Avalon XLS and it still remains to be the best cruiser. No vibrations inside and feels like the same well-built vehicle it was 17 years ago. Auto head lights, auto windshield wipers, leather, and sunroof? What more could you need?
"...We purchased the Camry for $26,968 and traded it in for $13,000, about 2.5 years later and with over 42K miles on the odometer. These miles were well above average and affected the Camry's trade-in value. That said, we could've easily gotten a few grand more on the private market if we would have sold it ourselves. Profit versus convenience is something owners have to decide for themselves. It ultimately equated to 51.8% depreciation. However, it is difficult to compare this outcome directly to the result for any other long-term car because we typically keep a long-termer for just 12 months or so. Edmund's longterm
I like the Avalon but feel the front end looks too big with that grill. Other than that the Avalon would be my choice. Prefer the grill of the Camry with the exception of the flat black accent. Prefer chrome but I’m an old coot so maybe the younger crowd like that.
I want a hybrid because I deliver food for a living but the Prius is so slow I can’t tell which car I want but this video helped me decide
Awesome review! I just purchased a 2020 Camry and I'm pleased to report that the 2020 has Android Auto.
I driven Avalons in my life time. I actually prefer current generation Avalon. I also have driven the Camry. I prefer the model before this one. Overall good cars
18:25 I’m 18 and I love cars that can be Old man ish lol! My first car I still have it 2006 Lexus ES330 it’s just sublime. I can cruise on the 15 on my way to Vegas at like 85-90 in absolute silence with the buttery smooth ride quality it’s like floating on a cloud. Not a single rattle or vibration and the V6 is absolutely bullet proof and buttery smooth and quiet. I bought it immaculate condition with 180,000 miles on it and now I have 230,000 and it’s literally brand freakin new. Immaculate condition inside and out and I pamper it lol. It’s fully loaded with all the bells and whistles. I love love love the power rear sunshade at night when people are behind you with the headlights shining in. Also it’s got the sport or comfort suspension button, voice controlled navigation and touchscreen infotainment system that works flawlessly and is easy to use for me. Mark Levi son premium audio system sounds SUPERB! The 17 inch 6 spoke chrome rims look very attractive. It also has heated and COOLED front seats still working flawlessly. I converted all the turn signals to LED and put in the relay so it doesn’t hyper flash and that’s it. Best car ever I’m never gonna sell this beautiful car
Ventilated seats are now an option on the 2020 Camry. They’re included in a package on the top trim.
Great review guys!!👍👍
The thing is the Prius is the only hatch hybrid in the line. Toyota decided against bringing the wagon Corolla hybrid or the CHR hybrid to the US so you have to go all the way up to a RAV if you want a reasonable trunk and it's definitely a very different vehicle.
Camry SE definitely looks better but for the price it definitely should have come with full LED headlights and LED taillights like you'd get with even the base Honda Accord Hybrid.

If the Avalon's grill were a dark smoked chrome it would look hands down better than the Camry. I'm starting to warm up to it especially when you draw your eye away from the grill as your looking at the headlights which are actually a great shape and design. Its just hard to see it against the grill.
Definitely the Avalon. Its a discount priced Lexus ES. The rear seating is much more spacious and comfortable. I prefer the upscale interior of the Avalon
Faux? Toyota uses real wood in the Avalon...... -___-
Nice job once again!
Did you know that starting in 2021, that the Camry and the Avalon are going to have All-Wheel Drive for the base motors.
215 Hp on a hybrid?? Wtf it’s faster than my 5 cylinder Jetta lmao
Camry dash design? Reminds me of a 1930's Flash Gordon movie serial spaceship. The Avalon grill? Obviously derived from Big Mouth Billy Bass. Not familiar? Try Google. As far as a comparison between the two, I suspect the Avalon and Camry aren't cross-shopped very often. The Camry has stiff competition from the Accord, the Mazda6, and most recently the new Sonata along with others.. The Avalon, on the other hand, is in a very small and shrinking mainstream "full size" category that (off the top of my head) includes Nissan Maxima, the aging Chrysler 300 and the KIA Cadenza. Not exactly serious rivals. Personally, I'd take the Honda 2.0L turbo Accord or the Mazda6 (Signature) over the V6 XSE Camry. But if I were shopping in the full size category, the Avalon takes it.
I love Toyota Camry's because they sell so many, you will always have access to inexpensive parts and Toyotas have reliability compared to european and american cars. I decided to avoid hybrids because the batteries just add more for you to be worried about when it is out of warranty. If the batteries go bad, you're looking at 4-5k to replace them. Whatever you save in gas in the end becomes a liability and people considering buying the car when it has 100k plus miles will hold that against you (even if there is a warranty to 150k or 10 years). I like the Avalon's limited interior, it does look nicer than the Camry. I would go with an XLE Camry so it has all the luxuries --- leather, nav, sunroof, V6, smart key, push to start. It's pretty much a Lexus in luxury but way more reliable since there is more access to parts.
personally i’ll take the camry se hybrid because it’s lighter and it’s big enough for my size.

The Camry XLE hybrid is better because of that 360-degree camera. Very long and intricate explanation into why that camera's so important, but if you knew what I know, you'd get the XLE hybrid (a Model 3 with the Full Self Driving option would be better from a depreciation perspective), or just keep what you have.
Can you review the Lexus ES Hybrid.

Damn I have a 2019 Honda Civic SI tuned, exhaust & drop-in k&n filter n' if I drive regular it will get 34 in the city & 40 mpg highway them hybrid get badass mileage! Not my type of car but wouldn't mind that kinda mileage lol. Nice review video, I give it 👍👍 😉

Due to peoples love of SUVs large sedans like the Avalon are not selling. You can easily get 6 K off MSRP which is great for and old fart like me. Thinking of trading my Crown Vic for an Avalon. Plus my favorite old fart song is Avalon by Roxy Music. Can’t lose.

Avalon Hybrid almost 40k..vs Camry LE Hyrbrid..28k...Hmmm...If you got the Money..Go for it..if not get the Camry..I love mine!!

FYI you cannot get a pano roof on any Avalon. Plus the Avalon has real wood. And you can’t get parking sensors on the se. plus the XLE hybrid Camry has soft rear doors.

You're talking about the Toyota Century. Toyota doesn't intend that vehicle to be sold in export markets and built it primarily for the Japanese government. If you wanted a Toyota Crown, you can consider looking at the Lexus LS or LC which both use the same chassis as the new Crowns. The Crown is near equivalent to the Lexus GS, but is slowly being phased out. The reason Toyota used so many names for the Lexus vehicles like the Celsior and the Windom was because Toyota didn't introduce the Lexus brand to Japan until 2006.

Each battery type has their pros and cons but I believe Li-ion is better. Why they gave the more expensive models the cheaper battery doesn't make sense. Anyway, they fixed that difference.
