Toyota Avalon Overview

Toyota built its first full-sized sedan, the Avalon, to fill the gap left by the cancellation of the upper mid-sized Cressida. First released in 1994, the Avalon is based on the Camry platform but is much roomier and more luxurious. The Toyota Avalon is Toyota's answer to big American cars.

The Avalon, and the Cressida before it, brought a few automotive innovations to the market. For instance, it was the first car to have a built-in 115V AC power inverter.

The Avalon sells well in the U.S., but attempts to market it overseas have failed, and it has been discontinued in places like Japan and Australia.

The Avalon has been criticized throughout its life for having boring, conservative styling, and is seen as an example of Toyota's uncreative design department. However, the latest version of the Avalon is much more stylish and contemporary.
