To its menu, Avalon mixes a bevy of Toyota-firsts such as standard Apple CarPlay and Dynamic Auxiliary Turn Signals, available authentic Yamaha wood and aluminum cabin accents, and Engine Sound Enhancement. In addition, drivers will appreciate the standard passive and active safety benefits through Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS-P), as well as athletic handling thanks to its available Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS), also a Toyota first, that, quite positively, has Avalon out-performing its peers.
Flagship Makeover
For its fifth generation, Toyota Avalon received an all-encompassing makeover by Toyota's U.S.-based design, engineering, and manufacturing entities at Calty Design Research Inc. (Calty) in Ann Arbor, Michigan; Toyota Motor North America Research and Development (TMNA R&D) in Saline, Michigan; and Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, Inc. (TMMK) in Georgetown, Kentucky, respectively. Spearheaded by Chief Engineer, Randy Stephens, and Calty President, Kevin Hunter, the brain trust masterminded an Avalon that represents multilateral progressiveness - for itself, its diverse group of drivers, and, for Toyota.
The teams minded two keywords throughout their development paradigm: Authenticity and Exhilaration. Both were applied in every area of Avalon's sophisticated essence, and throughout the four available grades: the athletic XSE (all-new) and Touring, as well as the more opulent XLE and Limited. Hybrid grades include XLE, Limited, and XSE.
A wealth of Calty signature elements cocoons Toyota Avalon's long, low-slung TNGA musculature. Its expressive looks diligently reflect the mixture of all-encompassing, performance-focused personality, the invigorating driver experience, and a premium, spacious image.
A philosophy of Technical Beauty permeates Avalon's body lines and cabin landscapes. Technical, which aligns with Authenticity, represents purpose and performance - tangible elements of the sedan's style. Beauty, which aligns with Exhilaration, represents onlookers' emotional reaction to Avalon's taut lines and sleek silhouette.
Because of its adaptable TNGA core, the Calty team penned Avalon's exterior to be longer, lower, and wider than before. Unique, never-before-accomplished stamping methods also aided in the deep draw panels that express distinguishable sculpted forms. Complex surfaces could now be shaped, like at Toyota Avalon's door handles that coincide with its profile's bold character line. A distinct, carved lower rocker panel behind the front wheels visually exemplifies the benefits of TNGA.
Avalon's dimensions echo the seductive physiques of high-dollar premium vehicles. Its cabin, however, keeps its characteristic low-profile heritage by extending the rear cabin farther by another 7 inches, and elongating side quarter glass and downward tapered C-Pillar by 2.2 inches. To finalize the ingenious profile, engineers and designers implemented a 0.31-inch radius corner - the tightest ever for Toyota - fore of the steep pillar.
Avalon's various height measurements have been trimmed: overall (by 1 in. to 56.5 in.), cowl (by 1.2 in.), and rear deck (by 0.8 in.). So too have front and rear overhangs (down 0.4 in. and 1.0 in., respectively). Along with its wider front (up 0.4 in.) and rear (up 1.5 in.) tracks, width (up 0.8 in. to 72.8 in.), and wheelbase (up 2.0 in.), Avalon's premium aura and sporty stature are further emphasized.
Nowhere
is Toyota's "Under Priority" brand identity (a direction that
prioritizes aerodynamic efficiency, cooling, and pedestrian protection)
more clear than at Toyota Avalon's stunning face. Available slim all-LED
projector headlights simultaneously speak to its sportiness and
elegance. They're but a piece of the façade's compelling story, though,
that depicts the intersection of three-dimensional surfaces and assorted
functions - the aluminum hood's longitudinal lines and lightweight
build; the wide, modern grilles built for air-slicing sleekness;
tangential vents at its lower portion crafted for the effective
direction of passing air across the front tires and along Avalon's buff
flanks. The chiseled doors achieve a deeper character line thanks to
TNGA prototype stamping applied at TMMK.
Simple horizontal character lines slice across the backside, at the top, center, and lower portions. Its 72.8-in. width, in effect, is highlighted substantially by the distinct sectioning. Connected LED tail lamps shaped in a three-dimensional, "aero fin" style differentiate the landscape from the current iteration. They integrate backup, stop, and turn lights into a single harmonious, fluid form.
Differences between the grades are clear. A dark gray front grille with chrome border, for instance, is a telltale sign of the XLE and Limited versions. So too are the machined-silver LED headlight bezels, body-color rearview mirror housings, and unique wheels ranging in diameter from 17 to 19 inches. Chrome badge letters, as well as dual exhaust with chrome tips individualize the grades.
A more aggressive attitude is worn by XSE and Touring. A piano black mesh grille, machine-finish and Gloss Black wheels, as well as black outer mirror housings are special to the grades. Headlight bezels - also in black - create an engaging mystique never before possessed by Avalon. Rear traits include trunk lid spoiler and badging in black, and a grade-specific lower diffuser set above and between quad tailpipes.
The lineup adopts two all-new Toyota colors: Opulent Amber and Harbor Gray Metallic. Carryover colors include Celestial Silver Metallic, Midnight Black Metallic, and Parisian Night Pearl; new-for-Avalon options include Wind Chill Pearl and Ruby Flare Pearl.
Form follows function in Toyota Avalon. The tangential vents at the front, its rear spoiler, and the substantial underbody panel coverage, from front nose to tail, minimize aerodynamic inefficiencies and give Avalon a 0.27 coefficient of drag - besting the outgoing model's 0.28 Cd.
Enlightened Lighting
Avalon's available LED Vision Tech headlamps are the most advanced lighting realized by Toyota. The slim headlights employed by XLE and XSE grades utilize a cluster of three reflectors for Daytime Running Lights (DRL) and low- and high-beam functions, providing exceptional light disbursement in an array of situations, including foul, low-visibility weather.
For Limited and Touring, each headlamp is comprised of thin lighting modules - one for low beam, another for high - plus, an Adaptive LED Cornering lamp and a Dynamic Auxiliary Turn Signal. Each is a Toyota First. The innovative cornering lamps enhance visibility around corners and curves during low- and high-speed maneuvers, as well as when changing lanes or when reversing. The lamp fades in and out for seamless activations and transitions, and adds 60 percent more foreground width to the low beam's pattern. The Dynamic Auxiliary Turn Signal provides an added degree of noticeable visibility by activating each auxiliary diode in sequential fashion, rather than all on, all off.
Another Toyota first intersects the trifecta of lighting elements within the headlamp: Signature DRL and Parking Light with Technical Laser Ablation. The technology allows light to transmit through its transparent areas encased by a laser-ablated, metallized inner lens. Laser ablation creates a specialized texture by way of intricate patterning.
Avalon's LED taillights also implement laser ablation on Limited and Touring's units, as well as Dynamic Auxiliary Turn Signal. The lamps' three-dimensional Aero Fin Jet makeup insets the reverse indicator below the rear lamp, effectively widening the look of the housing, and, in turn, the sedan's muscular hips.
Cockpit Meets Cocoon
Toyota Avalon's fluency in luxuriousness and exhilarating extroversions isn't restrained to its provocative looks. Its TNGA platform's thin structural pillars and broad windshield lend to the wide, open impression that passengers garner, be they seated in front or rear rows.
Upon opening Avalon's doors, an overarching simplicity and a purposeful placement of amenities and controls welcomes passengers. Authentic materials, such as the available Yamaha-sourced wood-trim and authentic aluminum pieces, accent arm rests, center console, and instrument panels.
Soft-touch materials are noticeable throughout - around the flowing, low-profile center console decorated in piano black trim; on the slim, tiered instrument panel leading into the doors; in the rear compartment, where doors and console mirror the impressive craftsmanship seen in the front cockpit. A rear cup and device holder, accented in piano black and satin chrome-finish, folds up and down in the armrest between passengers. Ahead of their knees and within arm's reach: air vents, controls for the available seat warmers, and essential USB charging ports. Deep curvatures in the doors' armrests provide passengers with ample surface area and comfort during long commutes. Rear seat roominess is exemplified by Avalon's segment-best measurements in three categories: shoulder room (57.1 in.), leg space (40.3 in. for V6; 40.4 in. for Hybrid), and headroom (37.5 in. for V6; 37.1 in. for Hybrid).
Material differentiation between grades is minimal; engineered wood trim is found on XLE, while Limited features real wood trim. Aluminum pieces adorn Touring's and XSE's cabins. A mix of Perforated Ultrasuede wraps all seating in Touring and XSE; Softex seats within XLE receive artistic vertical stitching. Limited goes beyond this creative approach by adding a quilt pattern, special perforation, and two-color stitches - all unique to Toyota.
New-for-2019 Cognac colored leather-surfaces highlights Limited's upscale vibe. Joining Cognac in Limited's color quiver are available gray and beige leather-trim; XSE and Touring can be had in either gray or black Perforated Ultrasuede; XLE receives a trio of color offerings with gray, beige, or black Softex.
At the front seats, attentions are immediately fixated on Avalon's slim center stack. The thin panel houses Toyota Avalon's 9-inch multimedia system (MMS) displaying audio and navigation, and integrates the automotive climate control system. Satin chrome-finish decoration surrounds the center cluster panel that "floats" above the instrument panel, further emphasizing the balanced aura of the modern atmosphere. Below the panel, passengers have easy access to the slide-open eBin containing a 12-volt plug and the standard wireless Qi mobile device charger. A trio of USB power ports (making for five total) is located inside the center console. A part cup-holder, part phone cradle located atop the front console, sits adjacent to the gear selector; supple padding lines either side of the console's lower tunnel at knee height.
A three-spoke steering wheel welcomes drivers' eyes and hands with smooth, satin chrome-finish accents and conveniently placed multifunction controls. Visually, the wheel's aesthetic is neater, having a trimmed inner physique and smaller switch cluster, while hand grips have been enlarged. Cruise Control is now accessible on the wheel's right spoke. Also for the first time in Avalon, the steering wheel can be wrapped in a two-tone leather-surface when outfitted in Cognac or gray.
Past the steering wheel, a 7-inch Multi-Information Display (MID) shows vehicle information, turn-by-turn navigation, and various vehicle settings (including those pertaining to Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, available Intelligent Clearance Sonar, Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Head-Up Display). Two new menus can be accessed by drivers, including a digital speedometer and, in Hybrid grades, a digital tachometer when its shifter is in "S" mode.
On the MID's left, there's a tachometer with long bright white needles and updated typeface. On its right, a speedometer. Hybrid grades receive the same central 7-inch screen, but to its left sits a Hybrid System Indicator showing the vehicle's regeneration status in CHG (charge), ECO (economy), or PWR (power) in real time. Save for XLE's gauges, the tachometer/hybrid powertrain meter and speedometer on XSE, Limited, and Touring are surrounded by 3D Glow Rings. A chrome ring borders the entire meter cluster on all grades.
Limited and Touring's standard color 10-inch Head-Up Display (HUD) - the biggest in the segment - clearly projects important info, such as vehicle and engine speeds, turn-by-turn directions, audio settings, and drive mode, right onto the lower portion of the windshield. It helps drivers stay focused on the road ahead, and is one third of Avalon's "driver control zone" made of MMS, MID, and HUD. All of them align seamlessly for optimum communication between occupants and vehicle.
Mega Multimedia
A JBL performance audio system is standard on Limited and Touring grades and is available on XLE and XSE grades. XLE and XSE passengers can listen to crisp tunes on a standard 8-speaker system having Entune 3.0 Audio Plus with Connected Navigation Scout GPS Link App and Entune 3.0 App Suite Connect, featuring new in-vehicle third-party applications. Apple CarPlay is standard on all grades.
Entune 3.0 Toyota Connected Services include: Safety Connect and Service Connect with a 3-year trial period, and Remote Connect with a 6-month trial. Wi-Fi Connect Powered by Verizon trial with up to 2GB within 6 months and Entune 3.0 App Suite is subscription-free.
The system's new 9-inch capacitive touchscreen can be pinched and flicked, just like personal mobile devices - perfect for pinpointing your favorite pizza joint. Its refresh rate is quicker, its voice recognition is more perceptive, and it better recognizes users' gestures.
Avalon will also feature Toyota's first integration of smartwatch or Amazon Alexa-enabled device connectivity, as part of Toyota Remote Connect. This innovative connection allows drivers to lock/unlock their doors, start their engine, or check their fuel level, all from the convenience of their smartwatch or Amazon Alexa-enabled device. It's voice controllable too, and compatible with select Android or Apple devices. Toyota is among the first automakers to feature Amazon-enabled device connectivity capable of executing home-to-car and car-to-home interactions.
With a standard 14-speaker system - the most speakers in the segment - and full suite of Entune 3.0 Premium Audio, passengers seated within Limited and Touring grades are treated to unprecedented aural and visual stimulus. Many Toyota-first applications with advanced software and hardware are optional for XLE and XSE drivers as well. They too can be equipped with embedded Dynamic Navigation.
1200 Watts, Tailored by JBL
Engineers benchmarked the best systems, two vehicle classes up, into the higher-priced premium large sedan segment. The result: a 14-speaker, 1200-watt, precisely-tuned 7.1-channel surround sound that leverages the benefits of a robust TNGA structure, and utilizes the top in hardware, structural engineering, and software technology.
The Toyota first Quantum Logic Surround combines individual signal streams of music by using patented filter bank technology and psychoacoustic modeling to create an immersive multi-channel listening experience with exceptional clarity, detail, and image specificity. Clari-Fi analyzes audio streams in real time, rebuilds key details lost in processing, and restores high-fidelity.
Mid-Size Sedan Heart, Small Car Efficiency
Hustle, athleticism, and fuel-efficiency. Each of these riveting traits has improved, in large part, because of two new TNGA powertrains: a punchy 3.5-liter V6 (2GR-FKS), and, a 2.5-liter Dynamic Force four-cylinder Toyota Hybrid System II (THS II) with 650-volt electric motor (A25A-FXS) and Continuously-Variable Transmission (CVT). Toyota Avalon Hybrid continues to be the only full hybrid vehicle in the segment.
The TNGA-derived V6 develops more power with less fuel consumption than ever before. Achieving the two took the application of D-4S direct injection, along with an updated VVT-iW (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent Wide) variable valve timing system.
The VVT-iW system is employed on the intake cycle, with VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing - Intelligent) activated on exhaust. With VVT-iW in place, engineers ensured optimal torque creation at all engine speeds, and minimized pumping losses during the closing of intake valves, which furthered fuel efficiency. The use of Atkinson cycle, too, reduces the V6's fuel appetite, particularly in cold climates or during wide-open throttle (WOT) situations.
Other V6 specifications include a 11.8:1 compression ratio and bore (3.7 in.) and stroke (3.3 in.) dimensions.
Gears for All Occasions
An all-new TNGA 8-speed Direct Shift-8AT automatic transaxle gearbox (UA80E) channels power to the Avalon's front wheels. It merges smooth, precise gear selection throughout the RPM range with an alacrity for fuel efficiency and on-demand power. Its revised logic control better matches vehicle speed, engine speed, and torque engagement, while also facilitating poised downshifts.
Its eight gear ratios balance wide range and close ratios, therefore enhancing power application and fuel efficiency. A wider range, specifically at the increased 8th gear ratio, allows for improved high-speed cruising fuel economy. Close ratios at the mid-range gears improve passing power.
A new torque converter provides a wider range of lock-up operation (versus the outgoing 6-speed automatic transmission) to imbue a more enveloping and direct driving feel. The converter contributes to low fuel consumption and passenger comfort, since engine revving is kept to a minimum.
The most thrilling shifting experience, however, is reserved for XSE and Touring drivers, whose optional steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters up Avalon's sportiness ante without question. The paddles give quick access to gear selection, and when downshifting, the gearbox automatically "rev-matches" for smoother shifts.
Avalon Hybrid: The Most Fuel Efficient Avalon Ever
A new TNGA 2.5-liter four-cylinder Dynamic Force Engine is more fuel efficient, runs cleaner, and is more powerful than previous iterations, and excels at dissipating thermal inefficiencies. Doing it all took the implementation of Toyota's vast catalog of advanced engine technologies: Dual VVT-i with VVT-iE (Variable Valve Timing intelligent system by Electric motor); D-4S (Direct injection 4-stroke gasoline engine Superior version) direct injection and laser-clad valve seats; longer stroke (4.07 inches; bore remains at 3.44 inches) and high compression ratio (14:1); multi-hole direct fuel injectors; a variable cooling system; cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system; and a full variable oil pump.
Instead of oil pressure, its Dual VVT-i with VVT-iE variable valve system employs an electric motor to control variable valve timing, which aids fuel efficiency and promotes cleaner exhaust emissions (this is especially helpful in cold climates). The D-4S direct injection combines higher-pressure direct fuel injection (DI) and lower-pressure port fuel injection (PFI), and applies each method of injection based on specific driving parameters. Furthering fuel efficiency are new multi-hole nozzle direct injectors (six holes per injector).
The Ultimate Happy Marriage
The four-cylinder Dynamic Force Engine is married to an all-new Toyota Hybrid System II powertrain that's been engineered to inspire both spirited driving and fuel consciousness. THS II uses two electric motors - MG1 and MG2 - to supplement the charging of the hybrid system's Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) battery pack, while MG2 assists the engine.
New for 2019, the highly compact battery pack now resides under the rear passenger seat (instead of the trunk), as a result of improved TNGA packaging and for the betterment of a lower center of gravity. THS II's new lighter, smaller Power Control Unit (PCU) packages microcontrollers within a power stack structure that's located above the transaxle - all with the goal of lowering mass to better handling composure.
Efficiencies on many levels are seen with the implementation of the new PCU. Energy loss in the conversion efficiency of the transaxle and electric motor is reduced by approximately 20 percent, and its cooling system's energy loss is cut by approximately 10 percent. The PCU's DC-DC converter - which converts a direct current from one voltage level to another - is optimized to reduce overall power consumption. Dimensionally, DC-DC converter's output filter is smaller, lighter, and quieter for an improved passenger experience.
Auto Glide Control (AGC), yet another of Toyota Avalon's fuel-saving technologies, automatically calculates efficient coasting. When driving normally, engine braking will slow the vehicle down when the driver lifts off from the accelerator pedal. However, to avoid aggressive engine braking, AGC limits the loss of vehicle speed through an automatic drive setting that acts more like a neutral gear, allowing the vehicle to coast to the stoplight.
A light indicating "AGC" is illuminated on the Multi-Information Display (MID) when AGC is active to alert the driver that less deceleration torque than normal is currently being used. AGC can only be activated when the vehicle is being operated in the ECO drive mode setting.
But who said all hybrids are docile?
Adding more than a sprinkle of spark to Avalon Hybrid's sporty skillset is the inclusion of a new Sport drive mode and Sequential Shiftmatic technology. The Sport drive mode applies power from the hybrid system for improved acceleration and, as a bonus, all drive modes, including Sport, can each be used while EV mode is activated. With Shiftmatic technology, XSE drivers can "shift" through the Continuously-Variable Transmission's six simulated gears via steering-wheel mounted paddles or the gearshift.
Piquing the Adventurous Side
Complementing Avalon's daring looks is a thrilling drive personality imbued by an array of available sport-oriented tools - which, together, represent a Toyota first. Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS), Intake Sound Generator (ISG), grade-specific exhaust baffle tuning, Active Noise Control (ANC), and Engine Sound Enhancement (ESE) fully exemplify Avalon's most adventurous zeal ever. A more comprehensive four-level drive mode selection - which includes Eco, Normal, Sport/ Sport+, and Custom - is available on Touring, too. All other grades receive a three-level drive mode selection (Eco, Normal, Sport).
Touring's standard Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) provides real-time damping control to maximize controllability and sharp handling. The astute setup reduces Toyota Avalon's posture fluctuations under hard or sudden directional changes, limits body movements, and yet absorbs nasty road undulations for a comfortable, flat ride.
AVS relies on three primary systems to accomplish its mission: shock absorbers at each corner that have solenoid control valves for independent wheel control; advanced front and rear G Sensors to comprehend the vehicle's condition; and, an intelligent central ECU that reacts to the G Sensor's observations by dictating exact damping adjustments to the shock absorbers' solenoids.
Levels of AVS' damping force are continuously variable, with a maximum of 650 steps. Changes in solenoid force - which restrict absorber fluid and, thus, damping - happen in an incredible 20 milliseconds. Drivers can adjust Avalon's ride feel with the simple depression of a button - Normal mode prioritizes comfort, while Sport+ emphasizes handling with tauter, highly responsive footing without diminishing Avalon's celebrated ride suppleness. Progressing from Normal to Sport+ also benefits Avalon's liveliness. For example, throttle response becomes quicker, the Electronic Power Steering's (EPS) feel emphasizes feedback, and its engine sound is enhanced through ESE.
The new multi-link rear suspension allows for the enhancement of many positive performance attributes, such as a wider rear track, lower center of gravity, and an aggressive stance. Revised trailing arms have been installed at a higher position to place the pivot axis of the tire rearward for better bump absorption. The setup's shock absorbers are tilted forward, too, to realize a suppler ride. Bushings on the trailing arms and arm joints further mask passing road imperfections.
Although not equipped with AVS, XLE, Limited, and XSE take full advantage of their innately sporty platform and multi-link rear suspension and, to them, add thicker stabilizer bars and stiffer spring rates for maximum handling dexterity. Spring stiffness, for example, is increased 25 percent when comparing XLE to Limited; stabilizer bar stiffness is up 38 percent and 62 percent, front and rear, respectively, when progressing from XLE to XSE.
World Class Acoustics, Inside and Out
Toyota Avalon's refined acoustic repertoire spans inside and out. Through Sport+, passengers receive a concerto of exciting, natural sounds through a new exhaust system with sport modified baffles, an Intake Sound Generator (ISG), Active Noise Control (ANC), and Engine Sound Enhancement (ESE).
ISG amplifies the engine's air inhalation sound to create robust vocalization and, on the exhalation end, the all-new exhaust with baffle tuning ups the sound character at start-up, idle, and acceleration. ANC and ESE work to cancel any unwanted exterior noise while simultaneously enhancing engine sound via the JBL multimedia system's in-cabin speakers. Exceptional engine notes at start-up are also enhanced; a hearty "flare" of sound occurs right before idle upon start-up. At wide-open-throttle acceleration, more engine grunt is heard throughout the rev range.
For all its added energetic vocalization, Avalon never ceases to deliver a civilized, library-quiet interior, if desired. Road noise and engine droning have been culled while cruising quietness and engine sound have been improved. Its TNGA platform utilizes additional seals where front fenders meet front doors and where the doors merge at the B-Pillar. More sound absorption material is found in the engine bay, within the carpet pad, under the floor, and in the wheel well liners. The exterior rearview mirrors not only reduce drag, but also wind noise, making for an extremely quite environment for all.
Top Toyota Safety Tech
Avalon's standard Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS-P) suite of safety systems and technologies represents one step closer to achieving Toyota Motor Corporation's ultimate goal of zero casualties from traffic accidents.
TSS-P bundles cutting edge active safety technologies including Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD), Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC), Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA); and Automatic High Beams (AHB). Additional standard safety technology includes Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) with Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) and Back Guide Monitor (BGM).
Also available are Panoramic View Monitor with Alert (PVMA) and Intelligent Clearance Sonar (ICS), which now includes a Rear Cross Traffic Braking (RCTB) system.
All 2019 Avalons have 10 standard airbags and Toyota's Star Safety System, which includes Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Brake Assist, Anti-lock Braking System, and Smart Stop Technology. All Avalons also come equipped with a standard backup camera.
Assembled with Pride in Kentucky
For over two decades, Toyota Avalon's sole manufacturing home has been Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky (TMMK) in Georgetown, KY. All Avalons sold in America and around the globe are assembled in Georgetown by about 8,000 proud American team members.
With Toyota Avalon as a cornerstone of its U.S. operations, Toyota has been part of the cultural fabric of America for over 60 years. With over $23 billion in direct U.S. investments, including 10 manufacturing facilities, over 1,200 Toyota dealerships, and 136,000 people working across the U.S., Toyota has produced 25 million vehicles in the U.S. over the last 30 years.

Mid-Size Sedan Heart, Small Car Efficiency
Hustle, athleticism, and fuel-efficiency. Each of these riveting traits has improved, in large part, because of two new TNGA powertrains: a punchy 3.5-liter V6 (2GR-FKS), and, a 2.5-liter Dynamic Force four-cylinder Toyota Hybrid System II (THS II) with 650-volt electric motor (A25A-FXS) and Continuously-Variable Transmission (CVT). Toyota Avalon Hybrid continues to be the only full hybrid vehicle in the segment.
The TNGA-derived V6 develops more power with less fuel consumption than ever before. Achieving the two took the application of D-4S direct injection, along with an updated VVT-iW (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent Wide) variable valve timing system.
The VVT-iW system is employed on the intake cycle, with VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing - Intelligent) activated on exhaust. With VVT-iW in place, engineers ensured optimal torque creation at all engine speeds, and minimized pumping losses during the closing of intake valves, which furthered fuel efficiency. The use of Atkinson cycle, too, reduces the V6's fuel appetite, particularly in cold climates or during wide-open throttle (WOT) situations.
Other V6 specifications include a 11.8:1 compression ratio and bore (3.7 in.) and stroke (3.3 in.) dimensions.
Gears for All Occasions
An all-new TNGA 8-speed Direct Shift-8AT automatic transaxle gearbox (UA80E) channels power to the Avalon's front wheels. It merges smooth, precise gear selection throughout the RPM range with an alacrity for fuel efficiency and on-demand power. Its revised logic control better matches vehicle speed, engine speed, and torque engagement, while also facilitating poised downshifts.
Its eight gear ratios balance wide range and close ratios, therefore enhancing power application and fuel efficiency. A wider range, specifically at the increased 8th gear ratio, allows for improved high-speed cruising fuel economy. Close ratios at the mid-range gears improve passing power.
A new torque converter provides a wider range of lock-up operation (versus the outgoing 6-speed automatic transmission) to imbue a more enveloping and direct driving feel. The converter contributes to low fuel consumption and passenger comfort, since engine revving is kept to a minimum.
The most thrilling shifting experience, however, is reserved for XSE and Touring drivers, whose optional steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters up Avalon's sportiness ante without question. The paddles give quick access to gear selection, and when downshifting, the gearbox automatically "rev-matches" for smoother shifts.
Avalon Hybrid: The Most Fuel Efficient Avalon Ever
A new TNGA 2.5-liter four-cylinder Dynamic Force Engine is more fuel efficient, runs cleaner, and is more powerful than previous iterations, and excels at dissipating thermal inefficiencies. Doing it all took the implementation of Toyota's vast catalog of advanced engine technologies: Dual VVT-i with VVT-iE (Variable Valve Timing intelligent system by Electric motor); D-4S (Direct injection 4-stroke gasoline engine Superior version) direct injection and laser-clad valve seats; longer stroke (4.07 inches; bore remains at 3.44 inches) and high compression ratio (14:1); multi-hole direct fuel injectors; a variable cooling system; cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system; and a full variable oil pump.
Instead of oil pressure, its Dual VVT-i with VVT-iE variable valve system employs an electric motor to control variable valve timing, which aids fuel efficiency and promotes cleaner exhaust emissions (this is especially helpful in cold climates). The D-4S direct injection combines higher-pressure direct fuel injection (DI) and lower-pressure port fuel injection (PFI), and applies each method of injection based on specific driving parameters. Furthering fuel efficiency are new multi-hole nozzle direct injectors (six holes per injector).
The Ultimate Happy Marriage
The four-cylinder Dynamic Force Engine is married to an all-new Toyota Hybrid System II powertrain that's been engineered to inspire both spirited driving and fuel consciousness. THS II uses two electric motors - MG1 and MG2 - to supplement the charging of the hybrid system's Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) battery pack, while MG2 assists the engine.
New for 2019, the highly compact battery pack now resides under the rear passenger seat (instead of the trunk), as a result of improved TNGA packaging and for the betterment of a lower center of gravity. THS II's new lighter, smaller Power Control Unit (PCU) packages microcontrollers within a power stack structure that's located above the transaxle - all with the goal of lowering mass to better handling composure.
Efficiencies on many levels are seen with the implementation of the new PCU. Energy loss in the conversion efficiency of the transaxle and electric motor is reduced by approximately 20 percent, and its cooling system's energy loss is cut by approximately 10 percent. The PCU's DC-DC converter - which converts a direct current from one voltage level to another - is optimized to reduce overall power consumption. Dimensionally, DC-DC converter's output filter is smaller, lighter, and quieter for an improved passenger experience.
Auto Glide Control (AGC), yet another of Toyota Avalon's fuel-saving technologies, automatically calculates efficient coasting. When driving normally, engine braking will slow the vehicle down when the driver lifts off from the accelerator pedal. However, to avoid aggressive engine braking, AGC limits the loss of vehicle speed through an automatic drive setting that acts more like a neutral gear, allowing the vehicle to coast to the stoplight.
A light indicating "AGC" is illuminated on the Multi-Information Display (MID) when AGC is active to alert the driver that less deceleration torque than normal is currently being used. AGC can only be activated when the vehicle is being operated in the ECO drive mode setting.
But who said all hybrids are docile?
Adding more than a sprinkle of spark to Avalon Hybrid's sporty skillset is the inclusion of a new Sport drive mode and Sequential Shiftmatic technology. The Sport drive mode applies power from the hybrid system for improved acceleration and, as a bonus, all drive modes, including Sport, can each be used while EV mode is activated. With Shiftmatic technology, XSE drivers can "shift" through the Continuously-Variable Transmission's six simulated gears via steering-wheel mounted paddles or the gearshift.
Piquing the Adventurous Side
Complementing Avalon's daring looks is a thrilling drive personality imbued by an array of available sport-oriented tools - which, together, represent a Toyota first. Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS), Intake Sound Generator (ISG), grade-specific exhaust baffle tuning, Active Noise Control (ANC), and Engine Sound Enhancement (ESE) fully exemplify Avalon's most adventurous zeal ever. A more comprehensive four-level drive mode selection - which includes Eco, Normal, Sport/ Sport+, and Custom - is available on Touring, too. All other grades receive a three-level drive mode selection (Eco, Normal, Sport).
Touring's standard Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) provides real-time damping control to maximize controllability and sharp handling. The astute setup reduces Toyota Avalon's posture fluctuations under hard or sudden directional changes, limits body movements, and yet absorbs nasty road undulations for a comfortable, flat ride.
AVS relies on three primary systems to accomplish its mission: shock absorbers at each corner that have solenoid control valves for independent wheel control; advanced front and rear G Sensors to comprehend the vehicle's condition; and, an intelligent central ECU that reacts to the G Sensor's observations by dictating exact damping adjustments to the shock absorbers' solenoids.
Levels of AVS' damping force are continuously variable, with a maximum of 650 steps. Changes in solenoid force - which restrict absorber fluid and, thus, damping - happen in an incredible 20 milliseconds. Drivers can adjust Avalon's ride feel with the simple depression of a button - Normal mode prioritizes comfort, while Sport+ emphasizes handling with tauter, highly responsive footing without diminishing Avalon's celebrated ride suppleness. Progressing from Normal to Sport+ also benefits Avalon's liveliness. For example, throttle response becomes quicker, the Electronic Power Steering's (EPS) feel emphasizes feedback, and its engine sound is enhanced through ESE.
The new multi-link rear suspension allows for the enhancement of many positive performance attributes, such as a wider rear track, lower center of gravity, and an aggressive stance. Revised trailing arms have been installed at a higher position to place the pivot axis of the tire rearward for better bump absorption. The setup's shock absorbers are tilted forward, too, to realize a suppler ride. Bushings on the trailing arms and arm joints further mask passing road imperfections.
Although not equipped with AVS, XLE, Limited, and XSE take full advantage of their innately sporty platform and multi-link rear suspension and, to them, add thicker stabilizer bars and stiffer spring rates for maximum handling dexterity. Spring stiffness, for example, is increased 25 percent when comparing XLE to Limited; stabilizer bar stiffness is up 38 percent and 62 percent, front and rear, respectively, when progressing from XLE to XSE.
World Class Acoustics, Inside and Out
Toyota Avalon's refined acoustic repertoire spans inside and out. Through Sport+, passengers receive a concerto of exciting, natural sounds through a new exhaust system with sport modified baffles, an Intake Sound Generator (ISG), Active Noise Control (ANC), and Engine Sound Enhancement (ESE).
ISG amplifies the engine's air inhalation sound to create robust vocalization and, on the exhalation end, the all-new exhaust with baffle tuning ups the sound character at start-up, idle, and acceleration. ANC and ESE work to cancel any unwanted exterior noise while simultaneously enhancing engine sound via the JBL multimedia system's in-cabin speakers. Exceptional engine notes at start-up are also enhanced; a hearty "flare" of sound occurs right before idle upon start-up. At wide-open-throttle acceleration, more engine grunt is heard throughout the rev range.
For all its added energetic vocalization, Avalon never ceases to deliver a civilized, library-quiet interior, if desired. Road noise and engine droning have been culled while cruising quietness and engine sound have been improved. Its TNGA platform utilizes additional seals where front fenders meet front doors and where the doors merge at the B-Pillar. More sound absorption material is found in the engine bay, within the carpet pad, under the floor, and in the wheel well liners. The exterior rearview mirrors not only reduce drag, but also wind noise, making for an extremely quite environment for all.
Top Toyota Safety Tech
Avalon's standard Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS-P) suite of safety systems and technologies represents one step closer to achieving Toyota Motor Corporation's ultimate goal of zero casualties from traffic accidents.
TSS-P bundles cutting edge active safety technologies including Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD), Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC), Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA); and Automatic High Beams (AHB). Additional standard safety technology includes Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) with Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) and Back Guide Monitor (BGM).
Also available are Panoramic View Monitor with Alert (PVMA) and Intelligent Clearance Sonar (ICS), which now includes a Rear Cross Traffic Braking (RCTB) system.
All 2019 Avalons have 10 standard airbags and Toyota's Star Safety System, which includes Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Brake Assist, Anti-lock Braking System, and Smart Stop Technology. All Avalons also come equipped with a standard backup camera.
Assembled with Pride in Kentucky

Σημαία Makeover
Για την πέμπτη γενιά της, η Toyota Avalon έλαβε ένα παντοδύναμο makeover από τις εταιρίες σχεδιασμού, μηχανικής και κατασκευής που εδρεύουν στις ΗΠΑ στην Calty Design Research Inc. (Calty) στο Ann Arbor, Michigan. Η Toyota Motor North America Research and Development (TMNA Ε & Α) στο Saline, Michigan. και η Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, Inc. (TMMK) στο Georgetown, Kentucky, αντίστοιχα. Ο αρχηγός του μηχανικού, Randy Stephens, και ο Πρόεδρος της Calty, Kevin Hunter, δημιούργησαν ένα Avalon που αντιπροσωπεύει την πολυμερή προοδευτικότητα - για τον εαυτό του, την ποικιλία των οδηγών του και για την Toyota.
Οι ομάδες σκέφτηκαν δύο λέξεις-κλειδιά σε όλο το αναπτυξιακό τους υπόδειγμα: Αυθεντικότητα και Ευτυχία. Και οι δύο εφαρμόστηκαν σε κάθε περιοχή της εξελιγμένης ουσίας του Avalon και σε όλους τους τέσσερις διαθέσιμους βαθμούς: το αθλητικό XSE (ολοκαίνουργιο) και το Touring, καθώς και το πιο πλούσιο XLE και Limited. Οι υβριδικοί βαθμοί περιλαμβάνουν τα XLE, Limited και XSE.
Toyota Avalon (2019)
2019 Toyota Avalon
Γεια σου, Τεχνική ομορφιά
Ένας πλούτος των χαρακτηριστικών στοιχείων Calty υποδηλώνει το μακρύ, χαμηλότατο TNGA μυϊκό σύστημα της Toyota Avalon. Η εκφραστική του εμφάνιση αντικατοπτρίζει με ακρίβεια το μείγμα της συνολικής προσωπικότητας με επίκεντρο την απόδοση, την αναζωογονητική εμπειρία οδηγού και μια εξαιρετική, ευρύχωρη εικόνα.
Μια φιλοσοφία της Τεχνικής Ομορφιάς διαπερνά τις γραμμές σώματος του Avalon και τα τοπία της καμπίνας. Το τεχνικό, το οποίο ευθυγραμμίζεται με την αυθεντικότητα, αντιπροσωπεύει το σκοπό και την απόδοση - απτά στοιχεία του στυλ του sedan. Η ομορφιά, η οποία ευθυγραμμίζεται με την ενθουσιασμό, αντιπροσωπεύει τη συναισθηματική αντίδραση των θεατών στις τεντωμένες γραμμές του Avalon και στην κομψή σιλουέτα.
Λόγω του προσαρμόσιμου πυρήνα του TNGA, η ομάδα Calty έγραψε το εξωτερικό του Avalon να είναι μακρύτερο, χαμηλότερο και ευρύτερο από πριν. Μοναδικές, ποτέ πριν-ολοκληρωμένες μεθόδους σφράγισης βοήθησε επίσης στα βαθιά σχεδιαγράμματα που εκφράζουν διακριτές σκαλισμένες μορφές. Οι σύνθετες επιφάνειες θα μπορούσαν τώρα να διαμορφωθούν, όπως στις λαβές των θυρών της Toyota Avalon που συμπίπτουν με την τολμηρή γραμμή χαρακτήρων του προφίλ της. Ένα ξεχωριστό, χαραγμένο κατώτερο ταμπλό πίσω από τους μπροστινούς τροχούς αποτελεί οπτικό παράδειγμα των πλεονεκτημάτων του TNGA.
Οι διαστάσεις του Avalon αντανακλούν τη σαγηνευτική διάθεση των οχημάτων υψηλής αξίας σε δολάρια. Ωστόσο, η καμπίνα διατηρεί τη χαρακτηριστική χαμηλού προφίλ κληρονομιά της, επεκτείνοντας την πίσω καμπίνα μακρύτερα από άλλα 7 ίντσες και επιμηκύνοντας το γυάλινο πλαϊνό τρίγωνο και την κωνική κολόνα προς τα κάτω κατά 2,2 ίντσες. Για να οριστικοποιήσουν το έξυπνο προφίλ, οι μηχανικοί και οι σχεδιαστές υλοποίησαν μια γωνία ακτίνας 0,31 ιντσών - το πιο σφιχτό για την Toyota - πρόσοψη του απότομου στύλου.
Οι διάφορες μετρήσεις ύψους του Avalon έχουν καλυφθεί: συνολικά (κατά 1 σε. Έως 56,5 ίντσες), καπάκι (κατά 1,2 ίντσες) και πίσω γέφυρα (κατά 0,8 ίντσες). Έχουν επίσης εμπρός και πίσω προεξοχές (κάτω 0,4 ίντσες και 1,0 ίντσες, αντίστοιχα). Μαζί με τα μεγαλύτερα μπροστινά (πάνω 0,4 ίντσες) και τα πίσω (μέχρι 1,5 ίντσες) διαδρομές, το πλάτος (0,8 ίντσες έως 72,8 ίντσες) και το μεταξόνιο (2,0 ίντσες), η premium αύρα και το σπορ του Avalon τόνισε.
Πουθενά, η ταυτότητα της μάρκας "Priority" της Toyota (μια κατεύθυνση που δίνει προτεραιότητα στην αεροδυναμική απόδοση, την ψύξη και την προστασία των πεζών) είναι πιο ξεκάθαρη από το εκπληκτικό πρόσωπο της Toyota Avalon. Οι διαθέσιμοι λεπτοί προβολείς προβολέων όλων των οδηγήσεων μιλούν ταυτόχρονα για την αίσθηση της αθλητισμό και την κομψότητα. Δεν είναι παρά ένα κομμάτι της συναρπαστικής ιστορίας της πρόσοψης, όμως, που απεικονίζει τη διασταύρωση τρισδιάστατων επιφανειών και διαφόρων λειτουργιών - τις διαμήκεις γραμμές του καλύμματος αλουμινίου και την ελαφριά κατασκευή. οι μεγάλες, σύγχρονες γρίλιες που είναι κατασκευασμένες για την κομψότητα του αέρα. οι εφαπτόμενοι αεραγωγοί στο κατώτερο τμήμα της είναι κατασκευασμένοι για την αποτελεσματική κατεύθυνση της διέλευσης του αέρα στα εμπρός ελαστικά και κατά μήκος των πλευρών του Avalon. Οι θωρακισμένες πόρτες επιτυγχάνουν μια βαθύτερη γραμμή χαρακτήρων χάρη στη σφράγιση πρωτότυπου TNGA που εφαρμόζεται στο TMMK.
Οι απλές οριζόντιες γραμμές χαρακτήρων περικλείονται στο πίσω μέρος, στην κορυφή, στο κέντρο και στα κάτω τμήματα. Το 72,8-ιν. Το πλάτος, στην πραγματικότητα, επισημαίνεται ουσιαστικά από την ξεχωριστή τομή. Οι συνδεδεμένοι φανοί οπίσθιου φωτισμού LED που έχουν σχήμα τρισδιάστατου στυλ "aero fin" διαφοροποιούν το τοπίο από την τρέχουσα επανάληψη. Ενσωματώνουν τη δημιουργία αντιγράφων ασφαλείας, τη διακοπή και τη μετατροπή των φώτων σε μία αρμονική, υγρή μορφή.
Οι διαφορές μεταξύ των βαθμών είναι σαφείς. Μια σκούρα γκρι μπροστινή μάσκα με χρωματικό περίγραμμα, για παράδειγμα, είναι ένα προειδοποιητικό σήμα των εκδόσεων XLE και Limited. Το ίδιο συμβαίνει και με τις ατσάλινες στρογγυλές λυχνίες LED, τα περιβλήματα καθρεφτών καθρέφτη και το μοναδικό τροχό που κυμαίνεται από 17 έως 19 ίντσες. Τα γράμματα των χρωμάτων Chrome, καθώς και τα διπλά καυσαερίων με χρώμιο συμβουλές εξατομικεύουν τους βαθμούς.
Μια πιο επιθετική συμπεριφορά φοράει η XSE και η Touring. Μια μάσκα μαύρης πλέξης πιάνο, μηχανική φινίρισμα και ρόδες Gloss Black, καθώς και μαύρα εξωτερικά καθίσματα καθρέφτη είναι ειδικά για τους βαθμούς. Οι φανοί προβολέων - επίσης σε μαύρο χρώμα - δημιουργούν μια μυστηριώδη δέσμευση που δεν είχε ποτέ αποκτήσει ποτέ ο Avalon. Τα οπίσθια χαρακτηριστικά περιλαμβάνουν το σπόιλερ του καπό του πορτμπαγκάζ και το μαύρο χρώμα, καθώς και ένα κατώτερο διαχύτη ειδικά για κάθε βαθμίδα που βρίσκεται πάνω και μεταξύ των τετραγώνων εξαγωγής.
Το lineup υιοθετεί δύο ολοκαίνουργια χρώματα Toyota: Opulent Amber και Harbour Gray Metallic. Τα χρώματα Carryover περιλαμβάνουν Celestial Silver Metallic, Midnight Black Metallic και Parisian Night Pearl. οι νέες επιλογές για το Avalon περιλαμβάνουν το Wind Chill Pearl και το Ruby Flare Pearl.
Η φόρμα ακολουθεί λειτουργία στη Toyota Avalon. Οι εφαπτόμενοι αεραγωγοί στο μπροστινό μέρος, ο πίσω spoiler και η σημαντική κάλυψη του κάτω μέρους του οχήματος, από την μπροστινή μύτη στην ουρά, ελαχιστοποιούν τις αεροδυναμικές ανεπάρκειες και δίνουν στον Avalon συντελεστή συστολής 0,27 - καλώντας το 0,28 Cd του εξερχόμενου μοντέλου.
Φωτισμένος φωτισμός
Οι διαθέσιμοι προβολείς LED Vision Tech της Avalon είναι ο πιο εξελιγμένος φωτισμός που πραγματοποίησε η Toyota. Οι λεπτοί προβολείς που χρησιμοποιούνται από τις βαθμίδες XLE και XSE χρησιμοποιούν ένα σύμπλεγμα τριών ανακλαστήρων για φώτα ημέρας (DRL) και λειτουργίες χαμηλής και μεγάλης ακτίνας, παρέχοντας έκτακτη εκταμίευση φωτός σε μια σειρά από καταστάσεις, συμπεριλαμβανομένου του άσχημου και χαμηλού οραματισμού καιρού.
Για περιορισμούς και περιοδεία, κάθε προβολέας αποτελείται από ελαφρές μονάδες φωτισμού - μία για χαμηλή δέσμη, μία για high-plus, μία προσαρμοστική λυχνία LED Cornering και ένα σήμα δυναμικής βοηθητικής στροφής. Κάθε ένα είναι το Toyota First. Οι καινοτόμοι φανοί στροφών ενισχύουν την ορατότητα γύρω από τις γωνίες και τις καμπύλες κατά τη διάρκεια ελιγμών χαμηλής και μεγάλης ταχύτητας, καθώς και κατά την αλλαγή λωρίδων ή κατά την αναστροφή. Η λυχνία σβήνει μέσα και έξω για απρόσκοπτες ενεργοποιήσεις και μεταβάσεις και προσθέτει 60% περισσότερο πλάτος του προσκηνίου στο πρότυπο της χαμηλής δέσμης. Το σήμα δυναμικής βοηθητικής στροφής παρέχει ένα πρόσθετο βαθμό αξιοσημείωτης ορατότητας ενεργοποιώντας κάθε βοηθητική δίοδο με διαδοχικό τρόπο, αντί για όλα, όλα εκτός.
Μια άλλη Toyota διασταυρώνει πρώτα το trifecta των στοιχείων φωτισμού μέσα στον προβολέα: Signature DRL και φως στάθμευσης με τεχνική απομάκρυνση λέιζερ. Η τεχνολογία επιτρέπει στο φως να μεταδίδεται μέσω των διαφανών περιοχών του που είναι εγκλωβισμένοι από έναν εσωτερικά φακό που έχει υποστεί επεξεργασία με λέιζερ. Η αφαίρεση με λέιζερ δημιουργεί μια εξειδικευμένη υφή με πολύπλοκα σχέδια.
Τα πίσω φώτα LED της Avalon εφαρμόζουν επίσης την αφαίρεση με λέιζερ στις μονάδες Limited και Touring, καθώς και το Dynamic Auxiliary Turn Signal. Το τρισδιάστατο Aero Fin Jet της λάμπας
Το πρώτο Quantum Logic Surround της Toyota συνδυάζει ατομικές ροές σήματος μουσικής με τη χρήση τεχνολογίας πατενταρισμένης τράπεζας φίλτρων και ψυχοακουστικής μοντελοποίησης για να δημιουργήσει μια εντυπωσιακή πολυκαναλική εμπειρία ακρόασης με εξαιρετική σαφήνεια, λεπτομέρεια και ειδικότητα εικόνας. Το Clari-Fi αναλύει τις ροές ήχου σε πραγματικό χρόνο, ανακατασκευάζει τις βασικές λεπτομέρειες που χάνονται κατά την επεξεργασία και αποκαθιστά την υψηλή πιστότητα.
Μεσαίου μεγέθους καρδιά σέλαν, μικρή απόδοση αυτοκινήτου
Hustle, αθλητισμός και απόδοση καυσίμου. Καθένα από αυτά τα χαρακτηριστικά πριτσίνωσης βελτιώθηκε, σε μεγάλο βαθμό, εξαιτίας δύο νέων κινητήρων TNGA: ενός ισχυρού V6 3,5 λίτρων (2GR-FKS) και ενός τετρακύλινδρου τετρακύλινδρου Toyota Hybrid System II (THS II) με ηλεκτρικό μοτέρ 650 V (A25A-FXS) και συνεχώς μεταβλητή μετάδοση (CVT). Το Toyota Avalon Hybrid συνεχίζει να είναι το μόνο πλήρες υβριδικό όχημα στον τομέα.
Το V6 που προέρχεται από το TNGA αναπτύσσει περισσότερη ισχύ με λιγότερη κατανάλωση καυσίμου από ποτέ. Η επίτευξη των δύο έλαβε την εφαρμογή της άμεσης έγχυσης D-4S, μαζί με ένα ενημερωμένο σύστημα χρονισμού VVT-iW (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent Wide).
Το σύστημα VVT-iW χρησιμοποιείται στον κύκλο εισαγωγής, με το VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing - Intelligent) να ενεργοποιείται σε καυσαέριο. Με τη λειτουργία του VVT-iW, οι μηχανικοί εξασφάλιζαν τη βέλτιστη δημιουργία ροπής σε όλες τις ταχύτητες του κινητήρα και ελαχιστοποίησαν τις απώλειες άντλησης κατά το κλείσιμο των βαλβίδων εισαγωγής, γεγονός που προκάλεσε την αποδοτικότητα των καυσίμων. Η χρήση του κύκλου Atkinson, επίσης, μειώνει την όρεξη καυσίμου του V6, ιδιαίτερα σε ψυχρά κλίματα ή κατά τη διάρκεια ευρείας ανοιχτής κατάστασης γκαζιού (WOT).
Άλλες προδιαγραφές V6 περιλαμβάνουν αναλογία συμπίεσης 11,8: 1 και διάτρηση (3,7 ίντσες) και διαδρομή (3,3 ίντσες).
Gears για όλες τις περιπτώσεις
Ένα ολοκαίνουργιο κιβώτιο αυτόματης μονάδας κιβ. Ταχυτήτων με κιβώτιο ταχυτήτων 8 σχέσεων (Shift-8AT) TNGA 8 καναλιών (UA80E) τροφοδοτεί την τροφοδοσία των μπροστινών τροχών του Avalon. Συνδυάζει την ομαλή, ακριβή επιλογή της ταχύτητας σε όλη την κλίμακα στροφών ανά λεπτό, με υψηλή εξοικονόμηση καυσίμου και ισχύ κατά παραγγελία. Ο αναθεωρημένος λογικός έλεγχος ταιριάζει καλύτερα με την ταχύτητα του οχήματος, την ταχύτητα του κινητήρα και τη δέσμευση της ροπής, διευκολύνοντας ταυτόχρονα τις οριζόντιες downshifts.
Οι οκτώ σχέσεις του κιβωτίου ταχυτήτων εξισορροπούν το ευρύ φάσμα και τις στενές σχέσεις, βελτιώνοντας έτσι την ισχύ και την απόδοση καυσίμου. Ένα ευρύτερο φάσμα, ειδικά στην αυξημένη 8η σχέση μετάδοσης, επιτρέπει βελτιωμένη οικονομία καυσίμου υψηλής ταχύτητας. Οι στενοί λόγοι στα γρανάζια μέσης εμβέλειας βελτιώνουν τη διέλευση ισχύος.
Ένας νέος μετατροπέας ροπής στροφών παρέχει ένα ευρύτερο φάσμα λειτουργιών κλειδώματος (έναντι του εξερχόμενου αυτόματου κιβωτίου 6 ταχυτήτων) για να δημιουργήσει μια πιο περιβάλλουσα και άμεση αίσθηση οδήγησης. Ο μετατροπέας συμβάλλει στη χαμηλή κατανάλωση καυσίμων και την άνεση των επιβατών, καθώς η αναστροφή του κινητήρα διατηρείται στο ελάχιστο.
Η πιο συναρπαστική εμπειρία μετατόπισης, ωστόσο, είναι αποκλειστικά για τους οδηγούς XSE και Touring, των οποίων το προαιρετικό πτερύγιο που τοποθετείται στο τιμόνι μετατοπίζει την αθλητική άνεση του Avalon χωρίς αμφιβολία. Τα πτερύγια παρέχουν γρήγορη πρόσβαση στην επιλογή ταχυτήτων, και όταν μειώνεται η ταχύτητα, το κιβώτιο ταχυτήτων "προσαρμόζει" αυτόματα για ομαλότερες βάρδιες.
Avalon Hybrid: Το πιο αποδοτικό καύσιμο Avalon
Ένας νέος τετρακύλινδρος κινητήρας Dynamic Force 2,5 λίτρων TNGA είναι αποδοτικότερος από την κατανάλωση καυσίμου, καθαρότερος και ισχυρότερος από τις προηγούμενες επαναλήψεις και υπερέχει στην εξουδετέρωση των θερμικών αναποτελεσματικών. Κάνοντας όλα αυτά έγινε η εφαρμογή του τεράστιου καταλόγου προηγμένων τεχνολογιών κινητήρων της Toyota: Dual VVT-i με το VVT-iE (έξυπνο σύστημα μεταβλητού χρονισμού βαλβίδων με ηλεκτρικό μοτέρ). D-4S (βενζινοκινητήρας άμεσης ψεκασμού άμεσης ψεκασμού Superior έκδοση) άμεση έγχυση και καθίσματα με επίστρωση με λέιζερ. (4,07 ίντσες, διαμέτρου 3,44 ίντσες) και υψηλό λόγο συμπίεσης (14: 1). πολλαπλών τρυπών μπεκ ψεκασμού καυσίμου. ένα μεταβλητό σύστημα ψύξης. ψύχεται σύστημα ανακυκλοφορίας καυσαερίων (EGR). και μια πλήρη μεταβλητή αντλία λαδιού.
Αντί για την πίεση του λαδιού, το Dual VVT-i με σύστημα μεταβλητών βαλβίδων VVT-iE χρησιμοποιεί έναν ηλεκτρικό κινητήρα για τον έλεγχο του μεταβλητού χρονισμού βαλβίδων, που βοηθά στην απόδοση καυσίμου και προωθεί καθαρότερες εκπομπές καυσαερίων (αυτό είναι ιδιαίτερα χρήσιμο σε ψυχρά κλίματα). Η άμεση έγχυση D-4S συνδυάζει την άμεση έγχυση καυσίμου υψηλής πίεσης (DI) και την έγχυση καυσίμου με θυρίδα χαμηλής πίεσης (PFI) και εφαρμόζει κάθε μέθοδο έγχυσης με βάση συγκεκριμένες παραμέτρους οδήγησης. Προώθηση της απόδοσης καυσίμου είναι τα νέα εισπνεόμενα ακροφύσια πολλαπλών οπών (έξι οπές ανά εγχυτήρα).
Ο τελευταίος ευτυχισμένος γάμος
Ο τετρακύλινδρος κινητήρας Dynamic Force είναι παντρεμένος με έναν ολοκαίνουριο κινητήρα Toyota Hybrid System II που έχει σχεδιαστεί για να εμπνέει τόσο πνευματική οδήγηση όσο και συνείδηση καυσίμου. Το THS II χρησιμοποιεί δύο ηλεκτρικούς κινητήρες - MG1 και MG2 - για τη συμπλήρωση της φόρτισης της μπαταρίας Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) του υβριδικού συστήματος, ενώ ο κινητήρας MG2 βοηθά τον κινητήρα.
Νέο για το 2019, το πολύ συμπαγές πακέτο μπαταριών βρίσκεται τώρα κάτω από το πίσω κάθισμα του συνοδηγού (αντί του κορμού), ως αποτέλεσμα της βελτιωμένης συσκευασίας TNGA και για τη βελτίωση ενός χαμηλότερου κέντρου βάρους. Η νέα μονάδα ελαφρύτερης, μικρότερης μονάδας ελέγχου ισχύος (PCU) THS II συσκευάζει μικροελεγκτές εντός δομής δομής ισχύος που βρίσκεται πάνω από τοΗ τυπική προσαρμογή μεταβλητής αναστολής (AVS) του Touring παρέχει έλεγχο απόσβεσης σε πραγματικό χρόνο για τη μεγιστοποίηση της δυνατότητας ελέγχου και της απότομου χειρισμού. Η έξυπνη ρύθμιση μειώνει τις διακυμάνσεις της στάσης της Toyota Avalon υπό σκληρές ή ξαφνικές αλλαγές κατεύθυνσης, περιορίζει τις κινήσεις του σώματος και ταυτόχρονα απορροφά δύσκολες οδικές διακυμάνσεις για μια άνετη, επίπεδη διαδρομή.
Η AVS βασίζεται σε τρία βασικά συστήματα για την επίτευξη της αποστολής της: αμορτισέρ σε κάθε γωνία που διαθέτουν βαλβίδες ελέγχου ηλεκτρομαγνητικής βαλβίδας για ανεξάρτητο έλεγχο τροχών. προηγμένους εμπρόσθιους και οπίσθιους αισθητήρες G για να κατανοήσουν την κατάσταση του οχήματος. και ένα έξυπνο κεντρικό ECU που αντιδρά στις παρατηρήσεις του αισθητήρα G, υπαγορεύοντας ακριβείς ρυθμίσεις απόσβεσης στις ηλεκτρομαγνητικές βαλβίδες των απορροφητών κραδασμών.
Τα επίπεδα της δύναμης απόσβεσης του AVS είναι συνεχώς μεταβλητά, με μέγιστο αριθμό 650 βημάτων. Οι αλλαγές στη δύναμη της ηλεκτρομαγνητικής βαλβίδας - οι οποίες περιορίζουν το υγρό απορρόφησης και επομένως την απόσβεση - συμβαίνουν σε ένα απίστευτο 20 χιλιοστά του δευτερολέπτου. Οι οδηγοί μπορούν να προσαρμόσουν την αίσθηση της οδήγησης της Avalon με την απλή συμπίεση ενός κουμπιού - Η κανονική λειτουργία δίνει προτεραιότητα στην άνεση, ενώ το Sport + δίνει έμφαση στον χειρισμό με ταχυδακτυλιές, με μεγάλη απόκριση, χωρίς να μειώνεται η ελαστικότητα της Avalon. Η πρόοδος από το Normal σε Sport + ωφελεί τη ζωντάνια του Avalon. Για παράδειγμα, η απόκριση του γκαζιού γίνεται πιο γρήγορη, η αντίληψη του ηλεκτρονικού τροφοδοτικού (EPS) δίνει έμφαση και ο ήχος του κινητήρα ενισχύεται μέσω του ESE.
Η νέα πίσω ανάρτηση πολλαπλών συνδέσμων επιτρέπει την ενίσχυση πολλών θετικών χαρακτηριστικών απόδοσης, όπως ευρύτερη πίσω διαδρομή, χαμηλότερο κέντρο βάρους και επιθετική στάση. Οι αναθεωρημένοι βραχίονες έχουν τοποθετηθεί σε υψηλότερη θέση για να τοποθετήσουν τον άξονα περιστροφής του ελαστικού προς τα πίσω για καλύτερη απορρόφηση της πρόσκρουσης. Τα αμορτισέρ της ρύθμισης έχουν κλίση προς τα εμπρός, επίσης, για να πραγματοποιήσουν μια πιο βολική διαδρομή. Οι δακτύλιοι στους βραχίονες και τα αρθρώσεις των βραχιόνων παραπέμπουν επιπλέον στις οδικές ατέλειες.
Αν και δεν είναι εξοπλισμένα με AVS, τα XLE, Limited και XSE επωφελούνται πλήρως από τη σπορ πλατφόρμα και την πίσω ανάρτηση πολλαπλών συνδέσμων και προσθέτουν παχύτερες ράβδους σταθεροποίησης και αυστηρότερους ρυθμούς ελατηρίου για μέγιστη ευκρίνεια χειρισμού. Η δυσκαμψία στην άνοιξη, για παράδειγμα, αυξάνεται κατά 25 τοις εκατό όταν συγκρίνεται το XLE με Limited. η δυσκαμψία της σταθεροποιητικής ράβδου αυξήθηκε κατά 38% και 62%, εμπρός και πίσω, αντίστοιχα, όταν προχωρούμε από το XLE σε XSE.
Ακουστική παγκόσμιας κλάσης, μέσα και έξω
Το εκλεπτυσμένο ακουστικό ρεπερτόριο της Toyota Avalon εκτείνεται μέσα και έξω. Μέσω του Sport +, οι επιβάτες λαμβάνουν μια συναυλία συναρπαστικών, φυσικών ήχων μέσω ενός νέου συστήματος εξάτμισης με αθλητικά τροποποιημένα διαφράγματα, γεννήτρια ήχου εισόδου (ISG), Active Noise Control (ANC) και βελτιωτικό ήχου κινητήρα (ESE).
Το ISG ενισχύει τον ήχο εισπνοής αέρα του κινητήρα για να δημιουργήσει ισχυρή φωνητική εμφάνιση και, στο τέλος της εκπνοής, το ολοκαίνουργιο σύστημα εξάτμισης με ρύθμιση διαφράγματος αυξάνει τον χαρακτήρα ήχου κατά την εκκίνηση, την αδράνεια και την επιτάχυνση. Η ANC και η ESE εργάζονται για την ακύρωση οποιουδήποτε ανεπιθύμητου εξωτερικού θορύβου, ενώ ταυτόχρονα ενισχύουν τον ήχο του κινητήρα μέσω των ηχείων καμπίνας του συστήματος πολυμέσων της JBL. Εξαιρετικές σημειώσεις κινητήρα κατά την εκκίνηση ενισχύονται επίσης. μια εγκάρδια "φλόγα" του ήχου εμφανίζεται ακριβώς πριν από την αδράνεια κατά την εκκίνηση. Με την επιτάχυνση ευρύτατου πεντάλ γκαζιού, ακούγεται περισσότερος εκσκαφέας του κινητήρα σε όλο το εύρος στροφών.
Για όλη την προστιθέμενη ενεργητική της φωνή, ο Avalon δεν παύει ποτέ να παραδίδει ένα πολιτισμένο, ήσυχο εσωτερικό της βιβλιοθήκης, εάν το επιθυμεί. Ο θόρυβος από το δρόμο και η απόρριψη του κινητήρα έχουν καταστραφεί, ενώ η ηρεμία και ο ήχος του κινητήρα έχουν βελτιωθεί. Η πλατφόρμα της TNGA χρησιμοποιεί πρόσθετες σφραγίδες, όπου τα μπροστινά φτερά συναντώνται στις μπροστινές πόρτες και όπου οι πόρτες συγχωνεύονται στη Β-στήλη. Περισσότερο υλικό ηχοαπορρόφησης βρίσκεται στο χώρο του κινητήρα, μέσα στο μαξιλάρι του χαλιού, κάτω από το δάπεδο και στις επένδυσεις των φρεατίων. Οι εξωτερικοί καθρέφτες όχι μόνο μειώνουν την οπισθέλκουσα, αλλά και τον θόρυβο του ανέμου, κάνοντας ένα εξαιρετικά ήσυχο περιβάλλον για όλους.
Κορυφαία Toyota Safety Tech
Η βασική σειρά συστημάτων και τεχνολογιών ασφαλείας της Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS-P) της Avalon αντιπροσωπεύει ένα βήμα πιο κοντά στην επίτευξη του τελικού στόχου της Toyota Motor Corporation για μηδενικά θύματα από τροχαία ατυχήματα.
