Used 2022 Toyota Avalon for Sale near Ralston, WY

The Toyota Avalon, as of 2022, is one of the few large family sedans still available—though not for long. It slots above Toyota’s popular midsize Camry, and it’s the basis for Lexus’s large ES luxury sedan (which, it should be mentioned, is always worth cross-shopping against the Avalon, whether you’re buying new or used). Though the Avalon is one of the best and most well-respected vehicles in its segment, it’s scheduled to be discontinued after the 2022 model year, which will make room for the new Toyota Crown at the top of Toyota’s car lineup. The Avalon sees some changes for the 2022 model year that result in a much more simplified trim lineup. Notably, Toyota cut the high-performance TRD (Toyota Racing Development) trim, which gave the Avalon legitimate means of entry to the performance-sedan segment and the eye-catching design updates to match. Toyota also discontinued the base Avalon’s four-cylinder engine, as well as the option of all-wheel drive (AWD). That leaves the 2022 Toyota Avalon in one configuration, though it’s still a good one. The Avalon comes standard with a 3.5-liter V6 engine rated for 301 hp and 267 lb-ft of torque. It’s not especially powerful, but it makes for comfortable and reasonably efficient cruising, with EPA ratings of 22 mpg city and 32 mpg highway, though the upgrades to Touring and Limited trims result in highway mileage dropping to 31 mpg for those models. With an eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive (FWD), the Avalon is smooth and easy to drive. Toyota wraps up the Avalon’s final year with three trim levels, XLE, Touring, and Limited. All come with the aforementioned V6 powertrain. A 9-inch touchscreen infotainment display comes standard across the lineup with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa capability, and there aren’t any upgrades available for this system, so if infotainment tech is your priority, you can stick with the base XSE. Other features include keyless entry, push-button start, Bluetooth, five USB ports, heated front seats, and synthetic leather upholstery. The Touring model adds a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, navigation, wireless device charging, an upgraded stereo system with 14 speakers, ambient lighting, and a moonroof, as well as an adaptive suspension system and 19-inch wheels with a black finish. The top-tier Limited model (though, as we mentioned, all Avalons are at this point truly limited) builds on the Touring with 18-inch wheels and leather upholstery. The 2022 Avalon fares well in crash testing, with Good scores in all six Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) crash tests and a 5-star overall rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Toyota loads the Avalon with plenty of safety features, though it’s less of a value here than it is in smaller, less expensive Toyota models with similar lists of safety tech. The Avalon XSE gets a reversing camera, blind-spot monitors, rear cross-traffic alert, forward-collision warning, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, traffic-sign recognition, and automatic high beams. A 360-degree camera, adaptive headlights, head-up display, and parking sensors are optional. The Toyota Crown, the Avalon’s replacement in the large sedan segment, is a lot less traditional despite the name’s elevated status in Japan, so if you want the charm of a secure, comfortable Toyota, now’s your chance.
