2006 Toyota Avalon XLS

Features

This third-generation Toyota Avalon was completely redesigned late in the 2005 model year and comes with the latest in safety features (though electronic stability control is optional, not standard). Its styling is understated. It’s more distinctive than the previous-generation Avalon, but it doesn’t stand out, instead presenting a quiet look of grace and agility.

The Avalon is smooth and comfortable underway, quiet and serene. The suspension was tuned for ride comfort and it largely excels in this area. The newly designed double-overhead-cam V6 engine is smooth, quiet and powerful, while the electronically controlled five-speed automatic ensures smoothness and economy.
