Is the 2019 Toyota Avalon a good car?

Yes — the 2019 Toyota Avalon earns a 4.93/5 user rating and a 7.5/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

Drivers consistently praise its smooth ride, comfort, and impressive performance, and they also call out its stylish design and strong technology.

Is the 2019 Toyota Avalon reliable?

Owners rate it 4.93/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with drivers emphasizing comfort and performance over the long haul. The expert test-drive summary also describes it as a strong, well-rounded sedan that feels like a great deal, which supports the idea that it should be easy to live with over time.

Toyota also loads the car with standard safety equipment, which can help reduce ownership stress if you keep up with maintenance and buy a clean example. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is finding a car that has been poorly maintained or heavily used, so condition matters a lot.

What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Toyota Avalon?

At 59.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has any accident history or unusually high mileage. Focus on signs of prior bodywork, uneven tire wear, interior wear, and any electronics or safety-system issues that could hint at harder use.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The XLE gives you the core Avalon experience with 17-inch alloy wheels, auto LEDs, dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless entry and ignition, heated power seats, heated mirrors, and the standard tech and safety features. The XSE adds 19-inch wheels, gloss black exterior trim, a sunroof, rear spoiler, paddle shifters, aluminum trim, microsuede seat panels, and extra engine noise through the stereo. The Limited shifts toward luxury with 18-inch wheels, a head-up display, leather and wood trim, heated rear seats and steering wheel, interior and exterior lighting upgrades, wireless phone charging, embedded navigation, and an upgraded JBL stereo. The Touring combines the XSE and Limited equipment and adds adaptive suspension, sport exhaust, active noise cancellation, and a Sport+ driving mode.
• Powertrain: Every trim uses a 3.5-liter V6 with 301 hp and 267 lb-ft, paired with an 8-speed transmission and front-wheel drive. The base XLE is rated at 26 mpg combined, while the rest of the lineup gives up 1 mpg on the highway and combined cycle.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning with automatic braking and pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, auto high beams, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. The $1,100 Advanced Safety package adds front and rear parking sensors, a 360-degree camera, and rear cross-traffic auto-braking.
• Infotainment: The system uses a 9-inch touchscreen with pinch-and-zoom navigation, Apple CarPlay, Alexa support, Toyota Remote Connect, and a Wi-Fi hotspot that can connect up to 5 devices. Android Auto is not included, and the system’s open-source architecture is meant to improve app support.
• Fuel efficiency: The base XLE is rated at 26 mpg combined, with 22 city and 32 highway. The rest of the lineup is rated 1 mpg lower on the highway and combined cycle.

Which 2019 Toyota Avalon trim should I buy?

The 2019 Toyota Avalon is offered in 4 trim levels: XLE, XSE, Limited, Touring.

Here's the short version:

• XLE: This is the best-value starting point because it already gives you the Avalon’s core strengths: a strong V6, a comfortable ride, a long list of standard safety features, and useful everyday equipment like heated power seats and dual-zone climate control.
• XSE: Choose this if you want the sportier look and feel, with 19-inch wheels, a sunroof, paddle shifters, and more aggressive styling touches. It adds personality, but it is more about appearance and attitude than a major mechanical upgrade.
• Limited: This is the trim to target if you want the most luxury-oriented setup, with leather and wood trim, a head-up display, heated rear seats, wireless charging, navigation, and the upgraded JBL audio system.
• Touring: Pick this if you want the most complete Avalon experience, since it combines the XSE and Limited equipment and adds adaptive suspension, sport exhaust, active noise cancellation, and Sport+ mode.

The Advanced Safety package is available for added parking and camera features.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Toyota Avalon?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 299 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.18% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 59.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $23,888, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2019 Toyota Avalon’s resale value?

The current average of $24,006 sits slightly below last year's $25,587.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer today but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. If you buy at the right price and keep the car in strong condition, you can reduce the impact of that depreciation curve.

The Avalon’s broad appeal still helps support future demand, especially because shoppers value its comfort, safety, and strong owner satisfaction. Well-kept examples should remain easier to move than neglected ones.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.93/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2019 Toyota Avalon safe?

The 2019 Toyota Avalon earns a Top Safety Pick+ rating from IIHS.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety equipment includes adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning with automatic braking and pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, auto high beams, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. The available Advanced Safety package adds front and rear parking sensors, a 360-degree camera, and rear cross-traffic auto-braking.

The main caveat is that the package with the extra parking and camera features is not standard, so you should confirm whether a used example has it if those features matter to you.

Should I buy a 2019 Toyota Avalon or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 59.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.18% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.93/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2019 brings new tech, more power, and added standard safety equipment.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $28,223, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $24,006 average.
• It marks the Avalon’s 25th birthday and reflects Toyota’s revitalized TNGA-based direction.

The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2019 is the smarter buy because it combines a lower average price with strong safety and owner satisfaction. If you want the newer model-year identity and are willing to pay more, the 2020 is the cleaner upgrade path.
