The Avalon from Toyota Canada. See, feel and experience the difference that attention to detail makes. From its elegant refinements to its stylish performance, Avalon helps you savour the moment.

Avalon is a marvel of engineering and emotion – a product of Toyota's relentless pursuit of continuous improvement. Avalon exudes a sense of style, a feeling of power, a desire to experience all life's roads. The 2009 Avalon. Waiting at an avenue near you.

With Avalon, form and function find the perfect balance. Refined exterior lines, a sculpted windshield and roofline, and uniquely shaped side mirrors create a dynamic look while minimizing wind noise for a superbly smooth ride and quiet cabin.

From the ground up, Avalon defines refinement, style and performance. Fog Lamps accentuate the sporty Lower Intake Valence, while the stylish Grille gives Avalon a confident, contemporary look.

Avalon's large tail lamps and sculptured trunk add to the elegant look for a delightful finish. Dual exhausts accentuate Avalon's substantially larger dimensions and astonishing power.

Toyota's low-profile wiper blade was developed exclusively for Avalon. The aerodynamic wiper blade has a lower sectional height for efficient wiping and reduced wind noise. The one-piece assembly helps prevent the blades from freezing. Select one of the option packages for Rain Sensing Wipers that work automatically as weather dictates.

Breathe easy. Breathe deeply. Avalon's interior transports you like no other vehicle in its class. Exceptionally spacious. Immaculately refined. Remarkably well-equipped. Turns out, you can take it with you.

Far from standard, the Avalon comes equipped with a formidable list of features including: Automatic Dual-Zone Climate Control with an Air Filter and Rear Seat Heater Ducts, Optitron Gauges and Multi-Information Display, Steering Wheel Mounted Audio, Heat, Ventilation, and A/C Controls, Cruise Control, Power Remote Mirrors, Keyless Entry, Power Moonroof with Sunshade, and much, much more.

Precision-engineered and cloaked in rich premium leather, Avalon's seats transport you in comfort and style. For the driver, first-class comfort is enhanced by an 8-way Power Adjustable seat, Sliding Armrest, and available Driver Seat Memory. Front passengers are pampered with 4-way Power Adjustments. Rear seats, made roomier by Avalon's flat floor, feature Reclining Backrests, Headrests, and a Fold-Down Centre Armrest ensuring that every seat is the best in the house.

All Audio Systems include MP3 Audio Capability and an Auxiliary Input. The XLS Base model delivers pristine sound with an AM/FM Stereo that includes an In-dash 6-disc Changer, Shock-Proof CD Memory Function, Title Display, 9 Speakers and Steering Wheel Controls. The XLS Premium Packages add further refinements with a JBL Synthesis Audio System, CD Autochanger, Digital Sound Processor (DSP), Radio Data System (RDS), an 8-channel Amplifier, 12 Speakers and a Rear Subwoofer.

The Avalon Premium Package plus Navigation offers an elegant state-of-the-art DVD-based navigation system with voice recognition. Both driver and front passenger can plot a course with the navigation system using an 8-way switch and scroll lever. The navigation controls have surface emitting illumination and hide away above the gated shifter. Maps, HVAC and select audio controls are shown on the seven-inch liquid crystal display (LCD).

Avalon makes every cruise a pleasure - slipping through the elements with poise and precision. Finely tuned, fuel-efficient and far-advanced, Avalon is also one of the few vehicles in its class to be awarded an ULEV2 [Tier 2 Ultra Low Emission] rating.

Generating an impressive 268 horsepower and 248 lb/ft of torque, Avalon delivers power and performance in equal measure. Effortlessly accelerating from zero to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds, the 3.5-litre, 24-valve V6 is equipped with Dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) for enviable high-speed torque, excellent fuel economy, and lower emissions.

Avalon features a 6-speed Super ECT (electronically-controlled) automatic transmission. Super ECT allows the Engine Control Module (ECM) to manage shift decisions based on engine speed and load, so that shifting can be as precise and seamless as possible. The ECM also monitors throttle position, road speed, power requirements and operating temperature to efficiently direct gear selection and adjust shift points to driving demands. Think of it as electronic intuition.

The ease of an automatic with the excitement of a manual. Avalon's Sequential Multi-mode Shifting allows the driver to control gearshifts when desired.

Avalon makes every ride a joy. Every day, a day at the races. Responsive and powerful. Swift and smooth. Crisp and quiet. Avalon handles every twist and turn with uncommon style and grace.

Avalon's steering does it all. An elegant Wood and Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel features a Tilt-and-Telescopic Steering Column that provides a multitude of adjustments for optimum driving comfort. At low engine speeds, Rack-and-Pinion Steering with Variable Assist is increased for tighter and more precise cornering. At higher engine speeds, assistance is reduced, improving road feel and control.

Avalon's finely tuned front suspension features gas-filled MacPherson struts, Coil Springs, and a Stabilizer Bar. Refined rear suspension delivers Multi-Link Control Arms, gas-filled MacPherson Struts, Coil Springs and a Stabilizer Bar. Together they provide tight control, exceptional stability and ultra-smooth cornering for an exceptional ride.

Avalon sees to every refined detail. P215/55 R17 tires with 17-inch Aluminum Alloy Wheels improve control, steering response and handling.

Rest assured. Avalon surrounds and protects with some of Toyota's most advanced and ever-improving safety features. Backed by rigorous standards and relentless testing, Avalon makes peace of mind standard fare.

Avalon's stylish body structure is strengthened to help meet the latest side impact standards, accounting for higher-riding vehicles such as SUVs. In the event of collision, reinforced members, pillars, panels and doors absorb impact energy, then distribute it around and away from the passenger cabin for enhanced impact protection.

Avalon's Ventilated Front Discs and Solid Rear Discs are augmented by an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA). The ABS system helps maintain steering control during sudden stops by preventing brake lock-up. EBD optimizes braking pressure at each wheel to help minimize body dive or sway during hard braking and cornering, while BA automatically helps deliver maximum braking pressure if an emergency stopping situation is detected.

Standard on Avalon, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) helps to detect and correct over- and under-steering. The VSC system integrates Traction Control (TRAC) to help limit rear wheel spin on slippery road surfaces.

Avalon's Dual-stage Front Airbags are designed to deploy with the most appropriate amount of force - lower and less forceful in the event of a moderate collision; higher energy level for more severe impacts. Front Seat-mounted Side Airbags, built into the seat and not the door pillar for enhanced protection, have been designed to provide a greater coverage area. In addition, standard front and rear Side-curtain Airbags help provide protection for all passengers in side impacts. Avalon also features a driver's knee airbag as standard equipment.
