For 2005, Toyotas flagship sedan ,the Avalon, returns with a completely redesigned engine, exterior, and interior. The Avalon is available in four trims, the XL, Touring, XLS, and Limited. The Avalon comes equipped with a new 3.5L V6 280-hp engine paired to a five-speed sequential shift automatic transmission. With this new engine, the Avalon can go from 0 to 60 MPH in 6.6 seconds. An estimated fuel economy of 22 city and 31 highway miles per gallon is another amenity of the new redesign. New exterior enhancements include a dual rear exhaust, front chrome grille, and a four-inch longer wheelbase. The extended wheelbase adds to the interior space and comfort of the passengers. Also new are the rear reclining seats which recline up to 10 degrees.
