The Avalon has a hybrid version. Here is some information about the Avalon hybrid version: 1. The Avalon hybrid is equipped with the THS-II hybrid system, consisting of an A25A-FXS 2.5L engine + electric motor, paired with an E-CVT transmission. The 2.5L engine has a maximum power of 178 PS, the electric motor has a maximum power of 120 PS, and the combined system output is 218 PS, with a fuel consumption of only 4.3L/100km. 2. The body side lines are smooth, giving it a sleek and detailed appearance. It's worth noting that the domestic Avalon has not been lengthened, but the side window area is large enough to ensure good visibility for rear passengers. Unlike the asymmetrical design of the Camry, the Avalon's interior adopts a symmetrical design style, with the most eye-catching feature being the floating 9-inch central control screen, which is integrated with the control panel.
I've driven the Avalon Hybrid a few times, and it left quite an impression. This model indeed has a hybrid version, which Toyota designed with this in mind. When I was driving, it felt exceptionally quiet, especially in city traffic jams where the pure electric mode produced almost no noise. The powertrain uses Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive, with the engine and electric motor working in tandem, significantly improving fuel efficiency—official data shows fuel consumption is only about 5 liters per 100 kilometers. Compared to the gasoline version, the acceleration response is much quicker, and the electric drive engagement at startup is particularly smooth, making it ideal for owners who want to save money while enjoying comfort. However, I should mention that the battery is located under the trunk, which slightly reduces space, but the overall experience is well worth trying, especially for those who prioritize environmental friendliness.
