The 2021 Toyota Avalon TRD is a five passenger premium sedan that has no less than 10, yes 10 trim levels. The TRD trim adds increased handling and suspension. It comes with 19-in matte-black TRD wheels, a black front splitter, side skirts TRD-tuned coil springs, shock absorbers and structural bracing.

The black tires, red brake calipers, and larger 12.9-in front brake discs are a color scheme that carrys on in the interior...
 |
With red stitching on the shifter, black soft surfaces...
 |
From logo headrest detailing to ultra-suede seat inserts with red seat stitching the upscale look and feel abounds.
 |
Android Auto and Apple CarPlay help connect your tech to the cars tech. And now you connect with your smartwatch or an Amazon Alexa-enabled device. That allows you not only to lock and unlock the car’s doors, and start the engine, but also to check the fuel levels.
 |
Powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that makes 270 hp and gets 22 mpg in the city and 32 on the highway. The driving experience is relaxed and confident, and a lot of that confidence comes from the knowledge that should you need to move out or pass, the power is there ready and responsive.
 |
The Avalon succeeds as a comfortable, well-appoint sedan and the TRD trim adds the sportiness that flattens out the twisties and softens the bumps of our current rough urban roadways.
