The 2005 Toyota Avalon represents the third generation of Toyota's flagship sedan. It is notable for its two available trims, the XL and Limited. Both are powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 280 horsepower and delivered through a 5-speed automatic transmission with front-wheel drive. The Avalon is celebrated for its spacious interior, upscale comfort, and a full complement of standard features including dual-zone automatic climate control, one-touch up/down windows, and keyless entry. Toyota's safety commitment can be seen in the Avalon with standard ABS, front-seat side airbags, side curtain-type airbags, and a driver's knee airbag. Its infotainment included a JBL Synthesis audio and offered navigation system on the Limited trim for this model year.
