2019 Toyota Avalon - Review & Road Test

- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2024
- Are people still shopping for moderately priced full-sized sedans? Not according to Ford or GM, but Toyota thinks a little differently. The 2019 Avalon still rolls merrily along. See how it stacks up to its dwindling competition now!

I absolutely love the Avalon. Our 2000 Avalon has almost 300k miles with no problems.
Elijah Ayres the new ones aren't made like the old ones. My aunt just lemoned her 16 Avalon. It leaked water into the cabin and Toyota initially refused to warranty the repair. After the second time it was "fixed", which included over $1000 of carpet and floor padding removal, they claimed to have fixed it finally saying the sunroof vents had been clogged... Third time the floor filled up with water my aunt noticed a hole in the floorpan. She could literally see the ground below her feet. She complained and Toyota lemoned it. In two years she had replaced the front struts, had leaks "repaired" three times and due to the water intrusion a ton of electrical problems. Last Toyota she will ever buy.
Hows the sonata holding up If I may ask ?
Jordan Catcher not good. It’s a 2015 Sonata that started burning oil right after its warranty expired. It basically needed a new engine at 90k miles. We traded it in for s 2018 Camry. loved that car, but it was just uneconomical to fix it.
Elijah Ayres didn't it have a 10-year/100K mile warranty? I would have reached out to Hyundai corporate to see if they would do a Goodwill repair. A lot of times manufacturers will. Hyundai has had a lot of engine problems.
Fields Carlisle nope. 2nd owner, 60k warranty
If you like barbecues, then the 2019 Toyota Avalon has the grille for you!
LMAO it's big enough to feed the whole family!😂
You’re hilarious! 😂😂😂
Get it chromed, you won't need driving lights!
Nice joke
Lmmmaaaooooooo
How big should the grille be?
Toyota: yes
I walked into Toyota and they had this exact spec Avalon sitting in the middle of the showroom. My jaw actually dropped. Good job, Toyota!
@japanwatchconnection You are easily triggered.
That grill has its own assembly plant.
YocoWheelin “its” (but lol nevertheless).
fixed. lol
YocoWheelin LOL!
YocoWheelin grille*
@Shawn Kemp Ok senior.
Toyota’s are excluded from any “dying segment”. When you make the highest quality product in the industry people will buy whatever you put out.
Well, I'm putting out and nobody's buying, so... joke's on you!
I wouldn't say highest quality, Accord is still above.
spiralnapkin Keep the quality high bro. It will pay off for you in the end...😂
@@Ps3COD4Fan Not really. Honda is way below Toyota in reliability these days. Honda, for some reason, has not really fixed their transmission problem. It appears randomly on different models in their entire lineup... with their automatic transmission.
@@Ps3COD4Fan you're comparing the Avalon to the accord?
I can't get over how GOOD this thing looks with that color
Toyota said “ We will design a car that can eat everything on the road”
barbecued bugs ala mode
Lmfao 😂😂
"For long-term happiness wisdom favors function over style." Profound! I'm using this in my commencement speech opener!
I also didnt like that gigantic grille at first but it’s grown on me quite a bit. It also looks so much better on darker paint colors imo.
Yeah the black one looks infinitely better than the chrome
I bought the xle in January. I love it and I’m really loving the grill. There are so many standard features, especially compared to my old 2006.
Have an Avalon 2001 & 2003 and have take many road trips in the SW and across the country
. 18.5 gal tanks in both so never worried about running out. Not thrilled they reduced fuel capacity to 14.5 gal.
Very disappointing vehicle vehicle hesitation makes it a scary vehicle to drive on the highway. Throttle response joined with the computer attempting to synchronize with the transmission equals fuel wasting and noisy down shifting. The 6 speed was much better. VERY DISAPOINTED. THE POOR DEALER DOESN'T HAVE ANY ANSWERS. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE.
I'm actually digging the design. The front grill looks great
If it works for you, good then. But to me that's way too much grills and a bit ugly too. That said, I like the other angles on the car but when you pan over from the rear to the front, it turns excitement into confusion and disgust.
I like the xle model with the metal grill. Not digging the sport variant with the mesh.
I wasn’t a fan of the grill at launch. But I have to say it has grown on me and you have to admit it makes a statement
@@gene978 Yes, a very loud, incoherent statement, that could be translated vaguely to: 'look how ugly I am!!!'
Me too
We went shopping for the Camry XSE V-6 but at 6'2" I just can't fit in it(with moonroof) and the Camry interior feels tight. Then I looked at the Avalon XSE, headroom, backseat legroom, 301hp V-6, 8sp. auto and more luxurious feeling. Plus a $5,400 discount before negotiations. Not a bad deal at all.
I want this car... No, I neeeeed this car!!
This is a solid ride
Brian The Explorer doesn’t really change the fact it’s a solid ride, but hey more power to your random comment!
@Brian The Explorer Camry's a great car...
..but if you think that Toyota would make their best-seller better than their flagship, Toyota would shoot themselves in the foot.
I have the 2011 Avalon and it is bigger... when I bought mine there was no comparison between the two cars whatsoever, Avalon was significantly better.. even tho proportions appear similar the new Avalaon is far superior to the Camry in ride and comfort.
@@MarkR973 That's still the case today though. The Avalon is better than the Camry in every possible way, not only in ride and comfort. (hence being a bigger and different car in a higher league)
Thank goodness Toyota still makes lots of great CARS!!!
because they still sell like hot cakes, toyota has to make more and more
Exactly! I'm so sick of this crossover trend!
Like the Corolla 🤔😂
Yes! Toyota and Lexus are da bomb!!!
And Honda, Subaru and Mazda, too.
That front end is an exercise in stuffing as much grille into a fascia as you can.
rivengle that seems to be the trend these days.
Alan Bowers Unfortunately.
It may be a dying segment but Toyota has definitely elevated itself with this car. I recently drove one myself and I must say it reminds me a lot of my Es (Yes I know they share platforms). The refinement may not be there , but everything else is quite impressive. This is the nicest car in the class IMO , the only thing that comes close is the cadenza.
Jordan Catcher Try the Lincoln MKZ reserve awd its a lovely car. It will surprise you.
@@getdowntoit8484 Different segment.
To be honest, the refinement to me is definitely there. The new Avalon (as always though) is basically a luxury car alternative at a non luxury car price tag.
I'mJustFarhan They are both competing for the luxury full size sedan market I believe.
@@getdowntoit8484 Toyota and Loncoln are indeed different segment. You can compare Toyota with Ford though. Given the amenities this car is offering, it is sometimes misunderstood as a Luxury vehicle.
That grill matches the void of my soul
Looks like the cartoon Tasmanian Devil having a BAD day!
I live in europe & i don't have no chance to see this one or buy the camry or this splendid avalon 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎
This is the first car that I’ve ever seen that has different front turn signal lights depending on whether or not the lights are on.
Barobran92 the premium LED headlights have a different turn signal (half-sequential horizontal strip at the bottom) than the standard headlights (cluster LED towards the inside of the assembly). Both headlight options are shown in this video.
@@seanjtracey At 1:18 you can see the turn signal with the headlight on and then at 2:01 you can see it without the lights on, same car, 2 different signals.
@@Barobran92 it’s two different cars. The one at 2:01 is a Touring. It’s the same color, but it has a Texas license plate and not the California plate on the car Micah is in.
I think it looks great in that color of car and grill.
I'm 19 and own a 2019 XSE Avalon and let me say it is an amazing car and is probably going to last me a lifetime
Those LED reflectors headlights on the XLE and XSE are garbage at night, IIHS rated them as Poor. Would opt for the Limited or Touring with the LED Vision Tech and dynamic turn signals which got the good rating.
Not to mention they just don't look that great on the car. Even the halogen Quadra-beam's on the old 2018 model look better design-wise than these LED reflectors. It seems like because safety equipment is now standard across the board, they need to still give you a reason to buy the higher trims by giving you shitty base headlights. $36,000 starting price sedan and they couldn't give it decent base headlights?
I understand and I’m sure Toyota will see this but come on if you really look at it, Toyota is the only automaker that is giving you standard LED headlights across the board for most models. I mean you can get a GMC Yukon with halogen projectors! HALOGEN! Lol. But I understand what you mean! Lol
But to be fairly honest the LED’s are actually very bright, the problem is the aim of the headlights have to be downward to avoid blinding oncoming drivers. But they are plenty bright. My previous car had halogen projectors and it was almost a $30k car. When it would rain at night, forget it! It’s like driving without any lights, I had to avoid driving in the rain all together.
I still prefer HID headlights. They are still brighter overall and the warmer color temperature helps with eye strain and is better in inclement weather.
God that grille
It's hideous.
@@frederickmiller5492 its kinda like a lexus grill, you either love it or hate it
@@xavmeister99 well its more like everyone hates it unless they like modern toyotas and lexus.
@@petrichor446
Everyone does not hate it.
That's why I love my 07 Camry, it's got a small Top Grille and Lower bottom Grille insert into the bottom part of the bumper. Not the whole bumper. I still love this body styling though compared to all the other previous Generations, Toyota made the new recent Avalon more aggressive and better looking.
I love the grill! Sporty and aggressive!
please to the velvety voice for every video, and for the whole review.
DiDGERIDOOFUS I’ll see what I can do.
Yay!@@MicahMuzio
I’ve really come around to the way this car looks. This guy is just entertaining enough
As always good and enjoyable video. I quite like the car. Too sad they won't sell it where I live.
always appreciate hearing about the driving dynamics, great review
I'm currently leasing the mkz 3.0 awd reserve model with all the bells and whistles. The car is just amazingly fun to drive (with 400hp #justsaying) and comfortable.
Toyota be like, “Would you like some car with that grill?” 😂😂
Kelley Blue Book, I have a 2020 Avalon XLE in Black what I also like about is the front face that has a mean look to it. Basically to me the Avalon is the sister of the Lexus.
Started to see a lot of these out there now
Really love the new Avalon even with its gaping mouth
because with that amount of next level ugliness it will make bmw cars look even sexier, right?
@@Nist12 Yup... very sexy with them mechanics... dealer or otherwise.
Yes yes avalon review! Go big or go home
I like this new Toyota Avalon
Virtually every company is coming out with larger grills. I own the Touring in the red and in Sport or Sport + mode you instantly feel the dampers lower the car and gear ratios change. I agree they need to work at making the gear shifting much more smoothly.
In darker colors, including the red, black, and blue the grill looks fine. I’ve been driving SUV’s for 14 years and wanted a sedan. I only wish this was all-wheel drive.
I believe Toyota is the only company that manufactures 4-wheel motorized grills that you can ride in. We live in a wondrous time!
OK Mr. Muzio where have you been hiding that deep voice? You must sing Oh Danny Boy with it. LOL Or do an Ad like the old KoolAid Ads. Hey Coolaid and you go “OH YEAH!” haha
gene978 My Barry White kills at karaoke.
My dream car
🔥Say wherever you want about the grill, but this car is not only THE BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK, but the most reliable and beautiful interior. 👊🏼
HappyTemp bang for your buck it’s 40k 😂 Toyota interiors shit.
@@mchlcordell Of course, I'm comparing it with similar Model Cars. Thanks for sharing your opinion, Make it, a beautiful weekend✌🏼
I want the hybrid.
I think only the camry comes in a hybrid
@@khalidalshammary652 they say it here. 43 mpg in the hybrid trim
I like this review because it givers a lot, plus adds very useful illustration, especially when sowing off space and room by having other people help in the video
In my book, the new Avalon is, simply put.. Toyota's best vehicle to date (we'll find out though with the new Supra coming). Not only is it still Toyota's best vehicle to date, but it's also still the best large sedan, forgotten car, mainstream sedan, luxury car alternative, and most underrated car I can ever think of. Basically a family-friendly luxury car at a bargain affordable price tag, while adding an appealing new character without trying too hard.
It's drop-dead stylish providing one of the best combinations of sophistication and cool-aid (wihout bland nor try-hard to it), it's plenty luxurious with amazingly refined quality and fit-and-finish throughout especially given the car's price point, it's super comfortable with a very family-friendly environment, has slick yet fuel efficient powertrains, it's easy-to-live with, it's refined basically everywhere, it's tech-filled with being a flawless bang for your buck for what you get, likely to be very reliable with excellent residual and resale values (knowing Toyota), it's wonderful to drive as it strikes a superb balance between a smooth ride and nimble dynamics even for a large sedan, and is overall just amazing. In fact, it's almost perfect. In the end, you’d need some really serious arguments to convince me not to purchase this new Avalon, that I almost wanted a fully loaded Touring package as some kind of souvenir. It's a near-perfect sedan, and what I want to see from Toyota, and I'm glad to see Toyita keeping the Avalon alive despite this segment of large sedans otherwise shrinking. The only real improvement that it needs is the inclusion of Android Auto, but nonetheless, it's brilliant. And with SUVs and Crossovers flooding the sales chart lately, but meanwhile with this all-new Avalon coming along..... who needs an SUV again?
...I'd like a fully-loaded 2019 Avalon Touring please. :)
*FINAL RATING:* 9.5/10 = Outstanding/Perfect
*MY TOP-RECOMMENDED FULL-SIZE SEDAN FOR 2019*
Imjustfarthan, that's one of the dumbest comments ever written. What an ugly vehicle the Avalon is.
@@HarryKuloh LOL, speak for yourself, especially when styling is subjective. The new Avalon to me is seriously gorgeous. The body is grown-up, elegant, and mature, the touches are premium (especially the full-adaptive LED lighting on higher trims plus sequential turn signals with those connected tail lamps), the lines, bodywork, and proportions are all smooth, cohesive and elegant, and everything flows together very nicely with some nice sculpting too here and there (even the grille, while pretty big, is, and doesn't try so hard to dress up as something it isn't, without having the bland-ness to it either, and the non-sporty trims look classy without looking bland, and the big grille is sleek, well-sculpted, modern, cohesive, and actually looks quite fashionable yet somehow works well with the overall (already stylish) design.. nor again without overly exaggerating its identity. While backing that up with genuine fun behind the wheel while following function especially for a large sedan.
....doesn't seem dumb now, does it, hater?
Test drove the Touring last week and I'm now bent on getting it with a grey interior instead of the black I was in😂😂😂
Best car on the market
First time watcher. Very nice energetic and engaging presenter. Loved the video
Just bought one. LOVE IT.
Hate when they dont talk about the sound system
Are you sure about that (underpants) frame sharing with the Camry? They stopped that in the 2013 design. The Lexus ES350 actually used the Avalon frame.
Yeah. The reviewer is incorrect.
It’s still technically Camry based
The is related to thr Avalon but thr Avalon is not on a unique platform just for those two. The platform thr Avalon rides has always been the same as the Camry
Looks like a Lexus on the upper trim and I dig it
Errhka thing is, you can get an ES350 for the same money, so why get an Avalon?
Lower maintenance cost my friend
either way, It's a win for Toyota anyway ;D
If you are the kind of person who buys an XSE v6 camry, go for the base Avalon for the same price.
I hated this car when I saw the pictures, but seeing one in person made me kinda like one.
Micah's sense of humor is out of this world. Lol
He was wearing the same shirt in both videos...... the consistency.
I love this car.
Nice video… love you! Thanks for making me lol. I transitioned from Lexus SUV, very painful 😕 but now I’m loving the Avalon (her name is Ava). Thank you…
A gorgeous car. I wish we had them In Australia. I recently bought a 2019 Toyota Camry V6 here in Australia. Japanese model. Test drove many sedans And the Camry won me over. Umm the guy reviewing the Avalon is so damn sexy. Best car reviewer journalist I have ever watched. What amazing Energy, attitude and personality he has. Good review and nice to listen to and watch. 😛
Please keep this guy in all reviews
A lifted wagon version of this car with AWD is all I want in life now that it has Apple CarPlay. Can’t see myself buying another sedan over the equivalent hatchback or SUV after the minor annoyances the form factor of my Elantra have caused me.
*_•reshirm•_* Can’t stop me from wanting it!
It's basically a cheaper Lexus.
I was just thinking its damn near as nice as my lexus is250
It's nicer
Yes, It is A Cheaper Lexus. and it is GOOD!!!
No, it's not cheaper. It's less expensive.
Beautiful vehicle, reliability is a 10!
Hello from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Ejeeee
Brian The Explorer It is!!
Wait for the TRD model!
So you seen the trd? Nice ride & sporty looking. Have you seen it the Camry, nice too.
I have a 2013 Lexus ES350 which is very similar to this Avalon. Might be the same platform but I think it’s changed. Bought my Lexus pre-owned as the 2nd owner with only 30k miles in April 2019. Car is quiet like a vault and solid like a tank!! Toyota and Lexus are the best for reliability and value !!
The Es Avalon and Camry are literally the same
The Es is Avalon based which in itself is Camry based
6:56 Micah doesn’t realize what he just did by low-key flexing like that 😂
manufacturer: okay and how big is the gri-
toyota: yes
manufacturer: what?
toyota: yes
Love this kid. He's entertaining, witty and funny.
My girlfriend thinks he's cute too... Lol
Gear shift was quick and smooth
This is a pretty decent car. Toyota is killing it lately
I have had 2 Avalon's and wanted another, but the grill was a deal breaker. I got a Genesis and so far very happy with the decision.
It's so nice
If you are above 5'11 you better go for the Avalon because the camry is tight in the back and head room isnt abundant especially with the pano roof
Exactly C M, I found out the hard way.
Open the sunroof for more hear room.
I like Avalon Trd 2020
I own a Lacrosse, but I am considering an Avalon next. That grill is something else.
I'd go with the hybrid
Agreed.
The oversized grille trend is kinda dumb but it works here imo. This is a nice looking for an Avalon.
I considered this vehicle but instead opted for a 2019 Honda Accord for well over $10k less.
Yeah, i traded in an Accord for an Avalon. One of the best decisions i ever made. The Accord is much harder on your posture.
@@oceanhedonist265, OK. You got me there. The Avalon does have a better seating position...
Nice car! But for 3K more you could buy a better equipped Genesis G80. Tough call.
Genesis is far better
Genesis probably won't hold its value, either. Avalon has stellar reliability.
Genesis? Terrible reliablity
Dash of excitement 🤣, Micah you are hilarious. Stellar review.
The Avalon has more comfortable seats, a smoother ride, is sportier, is generally nicer, has more space, has better visibility, and more features. It’s like the Camry put a very nice tuxedo on and lavish shiny shoes are actually pro football cleats, but you can never ever tell.
"a relaxed competence" - That pretty much sums it up.....
I love the interior, like the exterior and hate that grill. Change that grill and I'll consider one for sure!
He always criticizes, like the Avalon is an amazing car
What are you talking about. He's complimented probably more than he should have considering how many better options there are.
He actually didn't, he literally criticizes EVERY car, and, better options than the Avalon? I don't think so
I like the Avalon...but love Micah's deep voice.
Great review but does it come wit full sized spare wheel or repair kit? 🤔
I like the grill that's right I said it
What a fun review! An excellent car with a terrifying grille.
Great review!
When my grandparents said we got a new Avalon i thought what a boring choice but it’s very stylish. Not sure how I feel on the grill though
What a great looking car. Center dashboard could be more minimalist
Great car, I just can't get over that grill
Such a beautiful car to me. This over an suv or crossover all day everyday.
Nice et reliable car. We don't have this Toyota in Europe.
Hope I'm not the only one, but lack of Android Auto is a deal breaker for me...
TechedOff Android sucks sweaty nuts
get an iphone
the front appears to be not done from the assembly plant, you may want to return it
Anything made using Japanese or German engineering, is better than American these days. Superb Toyota quality, a true solid car. I road tested one in Central Texas but, the only show stopper was, that it is way too small inside for the price. I rather go for a top of the line Honda Accord and will do the same or better. It has everything I want but, the interior size....., and the grill stopped me.
What the hell does an Avalon need with a tacky, stuck-on black spoiler? Or any vehicle?
Love your very entertaining reviews. Effortless humor!
