2013 Toyota Avalon Hybrid 0-60 MPH First Drive Review

[TFLcar]

Thanks, we produce many videos and every-so-often we get a bit creative with the editing.

[TFLcar]

We only recommend the cars when we produce a full review. The First Drive means we get to spend only a few hours with the car....at most. It would not be fair to you or the car to try to recommend a rating after such a short time behind the wheel.

In the U.S. diesels have a bad reputation for being slow and dirty. We're not saying they are but that is the popular perception of many new car buyers. We also have very stringent emission laws that make diesels more expensive to import. And unlike in Europe where diesel is cheaper because it is taxed less than petroleum, in the U.S. diesel is more expensive....so that's why hybrids are becoming more popular.

I'm definitely consider this Avalon hybrid. It's got what I am looking for. It's luxurious, great mpg, big or long, seat 5 large happy large adults, dual climate, back up camera and navigation. Sunroof. And Best of all I just found one for a little over 10 grand.

Love all of your videos! But the editing make it look like if you were on a green screen instead of really beside or in the car but otherwise great video!

No matter what for $35K in this size car and comfort and get 40MPG CITY YOU HAVE TO FEEL GREAT ABOUT THAT. Thats Double what I get in the City and 10 more on the highway for the same size car as I have. The Azera looks nice as well but this looks more refined. I grew to like the interior of this new Avalon.

We currently have a 2009 Prius. Want more comfort and the Avalon definitely has that. Love the adjustable lumbar and vented seats, plus the arm rests are usable. Even more comfortable than the Lexus ES300, because the center arm rest is able to slide forward so that you can actually rest your elbow and still hold onto the wheel. Plus they styled the Lexus door armrest so that it tapered toward the rear for looks, but not comfort. Rented one for two days an averaged 38MPG, love it.

Thanks for the info. I love watching these videos only to see the differences between us in Europe and the US.

I test drove one before getting my avalon limited v6 and I couldn't get near the 40/39 highway and city. Here in Texas Highway 75 and in Sherman Tx. The outside temp was 65 f and the best I got in a day was 33 highway and 30 city. So why pay more if I didn't see the 40/39 mpg.

Don't forget about the Buick LaCrosse eAssist. The city mileage isn't as strong (25 mpg). However, the highway mileage is quite competitive at 37 mpg.

I like going through water and mud the most in jeep compass . It gets you anywhere . It can go through anything and 20 feet water, NATHAN AND ROMAN PLEASE MAKE A CAR REVIEW ON JEEP COMPASS. ALSO WHERE DO U GET THESE CARS TO DO REVIEWS ON THEM?

[luc]

Since you mention Camry Hybrid as competitor then also add Fusion hybrid, MKZ hybrid (same base price) and Sonata Hybrid.

Looks like you haven't done a review yet of the new MKZ hybrid.

[kingmanhattan]

Nathan: what kind of cars do you own ? Do you off road alot. I off road often in Colorado with a Jeep Compass

[rktrumble]

Why would you not subscribe to this channel? Another great job by Roman and Nathan. Please do a review of the 2013 Audi Q5. Thanks guys

Love the reviews guy's but how come American's don't like diesel for economy? Over here in the UK most big saloons/sedans with a diesel engine would be getting between 40 & 50+mpg at less cost than a hybrid.

[fantomtuba]

the square headlight thingys, are those the same as the 13 Accord V6 Touring?

[wikiporno]

If I knew they where coming out with this one year later, I never would've got the 2012 camary hybird. I would've saved up and got this bad boy.

[Zangle]

What a luxurious interior. Wife wants a Camry because it fits her small frame so well, but we are seriously thinking about fitting one of these before signing any papers.

[toastedbum]

Looks a lot like the new Azera. The rear kind of reminds me of a Jaguar to! You guys are the best on car reviews. Always entertaining!

[Grajjje]

I don't get it either. I live in the US and I'm a huge fan of diesel cars but for some reason they aren't selling in the US. One of my favorite diesels are the BMW 335D and the VW passat TDI SEL.
