When Toyota originally revealed the 2019 Avalon, the massive grille got a lot of attention. But as we found in our first drive, the redesigned Avalon also offers a luxurious interior and a long list of standard features. Now, we also know pricing.
The base model, the Avalon XLE, starts at $36,395 including destination. For buyers who want more features while keeping the XLE’s comfort-focused ride, the Limited model costs $42,695. For a sportier driving experience, Toyota offers the Avalon in XSE and Touring versions. The former starts at $38,895, while the latter will run you $43,095. A hybrid drivetrain is an option on all but the Touring trim and costs an extra $1,000, rather than $2,000 more on some previous-generation Avalon models.
The outgoing Avalon XLE starts at $34,395. The Touring trim, however, costs $38,795, and the Limited is $42,195. Interestingly, the Limited Hybrid version’s pricing stays the same. The lack of an XSE model also highlights the fact that Toyota adjusted its trim strategy for the 2019 Avalon, making it difficult to directly compare pricing between generations. Compared to the full-size sedan competition, the 2019 Avalon will be the pricier option. The Kia Cadenza starts at $33,190, and the Nissan Maxima starts at $34,155. Meanwhile, the cheapest V-6-equipped Chevrolet Impala starts at $29,865.
As we mentioned above, the redesigned Avalon also uses high-quality cabin materials and comes with its fair share of standard equipment. That includes a 9.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, hands-free keyless entry, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert, and blindspot monitoring.
Interested buyers won’t have to wait long to purchase the 2019 Toyota Avalon, either. It goes on sale next month.
