2 Answers
Toyota Avalon is referred to as the 'Little Avalon'. As a brand that entered the Chinese market early, Toyota has built a very good reputation among Chinese consumers. Dimensions: The Toyota Avalon has a length of 4975 mm, a width of 1850 mm, a height of 1450 mm, and a wheelbase of 2870 mm. The Toyota Avalon is a mid-size sedan and is in the same class as the Camry. Engine: The Toyota Avalon is equipped with two types of engines: a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. Suspension: The Toyota Avalon features a MacPherson independent front suspension and an E-type multi-link independent rear suspension.
I find the nickname 'Little Avalon' quite interesting, as I've often heard people refer to the Camry this way during my many years of driving Toyotas. The Camry, or Toyota Camry, is often seen as the younger sibling to the Avalon, which is larger and positioned as a more premium model. The Camry, though slightly smaller, inherits Toyota's reputation for durability and comfort, with low fuel consumption and easy maintenance. My own Camry has clocked over 100,000 kilometers without any major issues. Some people might confuse it with other models, but in reality, it sells well in both the U.S. and China, making it ideal for daily commutes and family trips, with a more affordable price tag—perfect for those on a budget. Thinking back, this nickname probably emerged after the Avalon was introduced, as both cars share that same reliable feel on the road.
