What brand of engine does the Avalon use?

The Avalon's engine is produced by Tianjin FAW Toyota Engine Co., Ltd., which is a domestically manufactured engine. The 2.0L version of the Avalon's engine has the model number M20A, with a maximum power of 131kw, maximum horsepower of 178hp, and peak torque of 210Nm. The 2.5L version has the model number A25A, with a maximum power of 154kw, maximum horsepower of 209Ps, and peak torque of 250Nm. For daily maintenance of the Avalon's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, choose SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, select CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, the filter may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, carrying contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates properly but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
As an experienced driver who has owned this car, I know very well that the Asian Dragon primarily uses Toyota's own brand of engines. My own model is the gasoline version, equipped with Toyota's 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, which runs smoothly and is fuel-efficient, with ample power even on long highway drives, and has never had any major issues. The car is highly reliable, and the engine maintenance is straightforward—typically just an oil change and filter replacement, with affordable costs. The hybrid version uses Toyota's hybrid system, featuring an integrated design of the power battery and engine, making it quieter and more efficient to drive. Overall, Toyota engines in the Asian Dragon are dependable, with excellent durability and rare failures within ten years. It's advisable to consider the configuration differences among different models when choosing a car.
From a car enthusiast's perspective, the Avalon's engine is from Toyota, with several specific models available. The hybrid version I'm interested in is equipped with Toyota's A25B-FKS hybrid engine, similar to the Highlander. This engine boasts high thermal efficiency and strong fuel economy, with city commuting fuel consumption around 5L/100km. I also appreciate its low-noise design, offering top-notch cabin quietness during long drives. Maintenance-wise, Toyota provides a 5-year warranty, and the engine has a very low failure rate with easily accessible parts for upgrades. For those seeking performance, the V6 Toyota engine delivers good explosive power, though with slightly higher fuel consumption.
