2 Answers
The engines of the Avalon and the Allion are the same. Here are the specific details: 1. Different power outputs: The Avalon is equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine; the Allion is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine. 2. Different dimensions: The Avalon's length, width, and height are 4975mm, 1850mm, and 1450mm respectively; the Allion's length, width, and height are 4720mm, 1780mm, and 1435mm respectively. The Avalon offers a dual-tone interior design, featuring a 9-inch multimedia touchscreen, a multifunction steering wheel wrapped in genuine leather, traditional needle-style gauges on both sides of the instrument panel, a 7-inch HUD display in the center, and driving mode switch buttons and an electronic parking brake behind the gearshift.
I've seen many people asking whether the engines in the Asian Dragon and Asian Lion are the same, but it actually depends on the specific model. Both cars have used Toyota's Dynamic Force series engines, particularly the 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, which is essentially the same - both belong to the M20 series with similar power and torque tuning. However, as a more premium mid-size sedan, the Asian Dragon also offers 2.5L gasoline and 2.5L hybrid versions that aren't available in the Asian Lion. If you're comparing 2.0L models, the core engine structure is indeed identical, with similar power response and fuel efficiency in daily driving. That said, the Asian Dragon feels slightly more sluggish during acceleration due to its heavier body. Having driven both, I can confirm their engines sound remarkably similar, share common maintenance parts, but overall the Asian Dragon delivers a more composed driving experience.
