The 2009 Toyota Avalon marks the final year of the third-generation full-size sedan. It continues offering a single 3.5L V6 engine producing 268 horsepower paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission powering the front wheels. The Avalon comes in three trims - XL, XLS, and Limited, each with increasing levels of luxury. Standard safety features include front-seat side airbags, full-length curtain-type airbags, driver's-knee airbags, and anti-lock brakes with brake assist. The car also features a simple but efficient 9-speaker sound system, with the option for a touch-screen navigation system in the higher trims. Praised for its ample room, comfortable ride and robust engine, the 2009 Avalon reaffirms Toyota's commitment to producing quality full-size sedans.
