Premium cars have always had a long wheelbase and improved equipment. Almost every manufacturer in the line of cars can find a similar model. Japanese manufacturer Toyota is no exception. Not so long ago, in 2015, a new, fourth generation of the famous Toyota Avalon sedan was presented.

Last 2017, a new generation of Toyota Camry 2018 was presented, a year later the manufacturer introduced a completely new, fifth generation Toyota Avalon 2019. The new Avalon 2019 has completely changed and is almost nothing like the previous generations. Let's consider in more detail the main differences, similarities and configuration of the new item.

Exterior Toyota Avalon 2019

Often, new generations of the Japanese manufacturer Toyota can be seen at the Detroit auto show. Last year, a new generation Camry was presented, in the same year the fifth generation of the completely new Toyota Avalon 2019 was presented. According to the manufacturer, the company is moving away from the theory of producing different cars of the same model for the markets of Europe, Asia and North America. It is planned that all subsequent generations will be produced in one body for all countries.

Compared to the previous generation, the fifth generation Toyota Avalon 2019 has completely changed. It is enough to look at the front end, and the style of the designers of the new generations of Lexus is immediately recognizable. The new sedan received a huge open radiator grill, the upper part is narrowed, but the lower one stretched out almost over the entire front of the car. Depending on the configuration, the grille can consist of horizontal strips or a black mesh insert. Above, in the center of the radiator grill, they placed an emblem with a pronounced blue edging inside. This is the first sign that the new 2019 Toyota Avalon will be a plug-in hybrid. In addition to the hybrid, a regular sedan variant will also be available. A small camera was placed under the company logo, parking sensors on the sides of the camera, and sensors and radars for security systems at the very bottom.

The front optics of the new Toyota Avalon 2019, as it should be for modern premium cars, is adaptive and based on LED blocks. Each headlamp consists of two separate LED units, each of which is decorated with LED daytime running lights. At the bottom of the optics, LED fog lights were placed, moving away from the usual location in the front bumper. To highlight the optics of the Toyota Avalon 2019, the very corner was taken under the yellow LED direction indicator, and for the formidable style, the background of the optics was made black.

As fans of the 2019 Toyota Avalon pointed out, paired with formidable aerodynamic fangs on the sides of the bumper and chrome-plated radiator grille surround, the new generation looks expensive and attractive. The shape of the hood of the sedan was also changed, at the end, between the front optics, a wide chrome strip was added. From the grille to the A-pillars, there are two curved lines, like the bonnet of the new Ford Mondeo.

The windshield of the new Toyota Avalon 2019, according to the manufacturer, is heated around the entire perimeter. The front window wiper, the designers hid behind the hood, thereby improving the sedan's aerodynamic performance. The front struts of the Toyota Avalon 2019 turned out to be of an unusual shape, instead of a semicircular shape, some of the struts received a hill, which is not in other cars.

The side of the new 2019 Toyota Avalon sedan has changed no less than the front. In comparison with the previous generation, both strict curved and smooth lines appeared on the side of the sedan. The designers have made the arches of the front and rear wheels flattened, thereby emphasizing the style of the novelty.

The lower part of the doors of the Toyota Avalon 2019 is decorated with one curved and one smooth line. For an additional fee or in maximum trim levels, chrome moldings will be installed on the lower part of the doors. The door handles, like many Toyota cars, are a stretch on themselves, but the side mirrors are still different.

To emphasize the modern style and premium class of the new Toyota Avalon 2019, mirrors were placed on the door part. The base and the lower part of the mirror housing are painted in gloss black, while the upper part of the housing is in body color. In shape, the side mirrors of the 2019 Toyota Avalon sedan are large enough, which had a good effect on the review. The standard kit includes heated mirrors, electrically adjustable, automatic folding, LED turn signals and multi-position memory. In some trim levels of the sedan, the mirrors can be painted completely in gloss black or in body color.

On the side mirrors of the Toyota Avalon 2019, side cameras are also located at the bottom for the all-round view system and blind spot monitoring sensors. Not less attention should be paid to the side windows of the sedan. In the basic configuration, they are lightly tinted, the rear part is more inclined than in the previous configuration.

One solid glass is installed in the front, and two behind, one on the door and one deaf, closer to the trunk. A distinctive feature of the fifth generation Toyota Avalon 2019 from the previous one is a large roof slope at the rear. At first, one gets the impression that the car is designed as a liftback rather than a sedan. Depending on the configuration of the Toyota Avalon 2019, chrome or black edging can be installed along the contour of the glasses. Another difference is the nameplates on the front fenders, they will indicate the hybrid, charged sports or classic Toyota Avalon 2019 equipment.

The dimensions of the new Toyota Avalon 2019 have changed to a minimum:

• sedan length - 4978 mm;
• width including mirrors - 1849 mm;
• height - 1435 mm;
• wheelbase - 2870 mm.

The basis for the 2019 Toyota Avalon sedan will be new alloy wheels, 17 ″ wheels in the basic configuration, and 18 ″ or 19 ″ in the more expensive ones. While the manufacturer does not say exact data on the weight of the sedan or similar characteristics, the information will become clear after the official start of sales of the Toyota Avalon 2019.

Despite the drastic changes, the rear of the 2019 Toyota Avalon stands out with a peculiar line between the feet and large chrome letters with the model's inscription. The designers made the basis for the sedan's stops on dynamic LEDs, a smaller part of the stops are located on the car body, but a large part, including the LED jumper on the trunk lid.

The trunk lid itself is more reminiscent of the latest generation Camry. Wide near the rear window and slightly tapered towards the end. Depending on the trim level of the Toyota Avalon 2019, the trunk lid curve will be decorated with a thin or wide spoiler, painted in the body color or in gloss black. The designers took the front part of the trunk of the Toyota Avalon 2019 under the logo of the company, and the corresponding nameplates with the inscriptions of the sedan equipment are installed in the lower part.

The rear window will be lightly tinted as standard. For a small surcharge, the rear window and rear side windows can be tinted in black or another selected shade. As expected, the rear window is heated, and an LED stop repeater is installed in its lower part. The rear bumper of the new 2019 Toyota Avalon sedan received sporty features. This is clearly visible in the raised lower part and characteristic sporty curved lines. The lower part of the bumper is adorned with a black diffuser and black glossy fog lamps. LED fog lights were placed above the chrome tailpipes of the sedan's exhaust system. Depending on the configuration, the exhaust system can consist of two or four tips.

One that hasn't received much change is the Toyota Avalon 2019 body paint. In addition to the previously known shades, the manufacturer has added a couple of new ones: amber and light gray metallic. The shades from the previous generation of the sedan also remained in force:

1. snow white;
2. dark grey;
3. dark silver;
4. coffee;
5. Brown;
6. black;
7. Navy blue;
8. dark green.

The designers of the new 2019 Toyota Avalon sedan decided not to add bright shades of the body, thereby preserving the classic image of the car. For an additional fee, the manufacturer can paint the body in a different shade, but the main rich style will no longer be the same. The roof of the Toyota Avalon 2019 is made in the style of premium cars. The basic equipment is equipped with an electrically operated panoramic sunroof, while more expensive configurations will be equipped with a panoramic roof with a sliding front part. The back of the roof is decorated with a small antenna in the form of a shark fin.

The appearance of the new sedan Toyota Avalon 2019 changed the look at this model, the previous generations seemed bulky and suitable for older buyers. The fifth generation will appeal to those who value space, power and rich equipment.

Salon of the new sedan Toyota Avalon 2019

Compared to the 4th generation, the new Toyota Avalon 2019 looks much richer in the cabin. The front panel of the sedan looks unusual, due to the raised central part. The designers created the impression of a runway. The upper part is occupied by a 9 ″ touchscreen display of the multimedia system, with quite convenient control buttons on the sides. The display is simultaneously separate from the panel, but at the same time, the front of the display is one piece with the rest of the Toyota Avalon 2019 console.

The multimedia system is based on two platforms at the same time: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Apple CarPlay is considered the main one, as most of the buyers use Apple smartphones. Due to the combination of such control systems, the car owner can easily synchronize his gadget and display all applications and information on the central display, including SMS and contacts. Optionally, you can install additional applications on board the multimedia system, download movies or music, for this the manufacturer has allocated 1 Tb of free space. From the moment of purchase, the leading mobile providers provide a small package of Internet access. According to the standard, you can connect to the network through an installed SIM card or gadget.

Dropping below, under the center display of the Toyota Avalon 2019, there are two air ducts, a seat belt indicator, an emergency parking button and a passenger airbag indicator. The climate control panel is made in a simple style, the buttons are square with strict inscriptions. It also houses the control of heating and blowing the front seats of the Toyota Avalon 2019, heated side mirrors and rear window.

The designers made a small indentation near the gear lever of the Toyota Avalon 2019, hiding a cell for small things from prying eyes. Here, the engineers placed a wireless charger for gadgets.

The interior of the new Toyota Avalon 2019 itself has changed significantly. The front seats of the sedan turned out to be something between sports and classic. The headrests are tapered at the top and can be adjusted in height and angle. There is practically no lateral support, but this does not interfere with a comfortable fit due to the deepened central part of the back. The very base of the seat of the Toyota Avalon 2019 came out spacious with little support in the knee area.

The rear row of seats of the Toyota Avalon 2019 is designed as standard for three passengers, this can be judged by the three high head restraints. An armrest with two cup holders and a compartment for storing gadgets is hidden in the center of the seat backrest. To recharge, the back of the front armrest was equipped with USB ports and a 12V outlet. There is also a climate control panel and an AUX input. For an additional fee, the manufacturer Toyota Avalon 2019 can fit two large tablets behind the front headrests.

The designers used only high-quality leather and alcantara as the material for the interior trim of the Toyota Avalon 2019. Depending on the wishes of the buyer, the seats of the new sedan can be sheathed in solid leather, a combination of solid and perforated leather, as well as with Alcantara inserts.

For an additional fee, the manufacturer offers many other accessories, as well as add-ons for interior decoration. In addition to leather upholstery, you can choose from polished aluminum, real wood in light or dark colors, as well as carbon inserts for the sports version of the sedan.

The driver's seat of the new Toyota Avalon 2019 was rather modified, in comparison with the previous generation, rather than completely new. The instrument panel has grown in size due to the 7 ″ color display of the on-board computer. It will display all information about the condition of the engine and the car as a whole. On the sides of the display of the Toyota Avalon 2019, there is a tachometer and a speedometer. Due to the white hands, dial and white backlighting, the indicators are clearly visible even in the worst weather. Behind the dashboard of the Toyota Avalon 2019, a large, 10 ″ color head-up display is located, it displays not only navigation maps, but also the state of the sedan's engine and other information at the request of the driver.

The side spokes have multifunctional control buttons, and the center is reserved for the horn and airbag. Behind the steering wheel, there are levers to control direction indicators, cruise control and individual functions of the Toyota Avalon 2019. The steering wheel can be adjusted in depth and height, starting from the basic configuration.
