Toyota Avalon MPG
You’re on the go a lot—that’s just life—and you don’t always want to put your schedule on pause to stop at the pump. You need a vehicle that has plenty of fuel economy as well as power. That means you’ll want to test out the Toyota Avalon, which has an EPA-estimated 22 city/ 32 highway MPG.*
But you’re busy, so you don’t have time to test drive every vehicle, and that’s where the team at Ira Toyota of Manchester comes in. We’ve put together this quick Toyota Avalon MPG review that will go over performance and MPG as well as some tips to help improve MPG in and around Amherst, Derry, or Manchester, New Hampshire.
Performance Factors That Affect MPG
One of the biggest factors that affects MPG is the engine in your vehicle. The Toyota Avalon has two available engines to choose from: a standard internal combustion engine and an available hybrid model.
The standard engine is a 3.5L V6 motor that offers 301 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. On the other hand, the 2.5L Hybrid 4-cylinder powertrain offers 215 net system horsepower and 149 lb-ft of torque.
Other factors can include the drivetrain, which is front-wheel drive, as well as the transmission. On standard models, you’ll find a Direct Shift-8AT 8-speed Electronically Controlled automatic Transmission with intelligence with Sequential Shiftmatic™ Mode, while the Hybrid has a Continuously Variable Transmission.
Toyota Avalon MPG
Now that you have some information about how the mechanical components affect MPG, it’s time to get into the numbers. The standard trim on the Avalon, the XLE, has an EPA-estimated 22 city/32 highway MPG, while the Touring and Limited trims have an EPA-estimated 22 city/31 highway MPG.*
If you decide to go with one of the hybrid trims, then you’ll get an EPA-estimated 43 city/44 highway MPG on the XLE Hybrid.* The XSE Hybrid Nightshade and the Limited Hybrid get an EPA-estimated 43 city/44 highway MPG.*
As you can see, no matter which trim you choose, you’ll spend more time on the road and less time filling up at the pump.
Tips to Improve MPG
However, it isn’t just the responsibility of your Toyota Avalon to determine fuel economy—you can help out, too! Probably the easiest part of improving fuel economy is performing regular maintenance. Changing your vehicle’s oil every six months or 10,000 miles and keeping your tires well within recommended pressure levels will both help improve MPG.
You can also help increase fuel economy simply by keeping your car clean. The less weight your Avalon has to pull, the less fuel it has to burn to go the same distance. Make sure you’re not bringing along any unnecessary items that could bog down the weight of your car, and you can reduce your stops at the gas station.
