The 2010 Toyota Avalon has not been altered significantly from the 2009 model. The 2010 Avalon keeps the same 3.5-liter V6 engine as its predecessor, which produces 268 horsepower and 248 pound-feet of torque. This is the only engine available for all three trim options in the 2010 Avalon. This engine is a dual overhead cam (DOHC) 24-valve six-cylinder engine with Toyota's variable valve timing with intelligence (VVT-i), which makes the engine more responsive without hurting the fuel economy. The Avalon peaks in torque at just 4700 rpm, while maximum horsepower output comes at 6200 rpm.
This car is made to be stately and easy to drive, so all models include a standard six-speed automatic transmission. While it may seem that the Avalon's specs aren't any different from competing models like the Honda Accord and Nissan Maxima, what sets the Avalon apart is the engine's fuel economy. With 19 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway, as well as a 23 mpg combined EPA rating, this is one of the most fuel efficient full-size sedans available. It is rated as a Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) by the EPA, and its 18.5 gallon fuel tank gives it a range of 425 miles between fill-ups.
The Avalon's mighty V6 propels the car to 60 mph in just 6.4 seconds, which leads every car in its class but the Nissan Maxima, which makes the same run in 5.9 seconds. For a car this size, though, the acceleration isn't as important as considerations like the space and driving characteristics. This car aspires to the Lexus style of handling ease and comfort. While some drivers may be unsatisfied with the car's sportiness, those who want a reliably comfortable ride will enjoy the Avalon's ride.
