Review of the 2006 Toyota Avalon XLS
The third generation of the Avalon, Toyota's full-sized flagship sedan, debuted for 2005, a decade after the model's first appearance, and gets minor but important upgrades for its sophomore year. The Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system is now available across the line, on the XL and Touring as well as the XLS and Limited models, and Touring models may be outfitted with heated seats. A dealer-installed towing package can allow any Avalon to tow a 1,000-lb. trailer.
The Avalon, in its latest form, is exactly what it always has been, Toyota's interpretation of the large sedan - only it's bigger and better than ever. With most of a four-inch increase in wheelbase and one inch increase in width going into cabin space, there are few sedans this side of the expensive premium luxury class that offer greater interior space. A 268-horsepower 3.5-liter V6, the most powerful ever offered in a Toyota passenger car, drives the front wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission with manual-mode shifting. In basic XL trim, it's a spacious upper-middle class sedan, a cut above a Camry in both size and trim. The Touring is the sportiest one of the line, with a slightly firmer suspension tuning and leather-trimmed seats. The XLS adds some more comfort amenities, while the Limited adds nearly all options as standard fare.
Toyota's latest Avalon combines quiet, smooth comfort, serious space, and great power for an affordable luxury experience.
