Powered by a 3.5-liter V6, the Toyota Avalon features unspectacular styling and seating for five. It delivers a pleasant ride and good acceleration.

The Toyota Avalon has been mildly re-styled and updated inside for 2011. Toyota calls the 2011 Avalon redesigned, but its V6 engine, 6-speed automatic transmission and other mechanical components are carryover. In reality, the Avalon gets just a tad better at what it already did really well.
