Despite a strong showing in the US market, Toyota is eager to solidify its position and potentially overtake General Motors as the top selling automaker.
While their upcoming 2025 Highlander Hybrid Limited 25th Edition and all new Toyota 4Runner are promising, some believe that a new passenger car could give them the extra edge they need.
Inspired by the discontinued Avalon, digital car enthusiasts have envisioned a 2025 Toyota Avalon revival. This full size sedan, once a flagship model in several markets, could offer a unique and luxurious option for Toyota customers.
While the Avalon’s production has ceased in recent years, its legacy and popularity suggest that a modern interpretation could resonate with today’s consumers. The Crown’s resurgence, after a half-century hiatus, has overshadowed the Avalon. While the Crown has garnered significant attention, it shares the mid-size segment with the best-selling Camry.
Given this, there’s a potential for the Avalon to return as a full-size flagship. However, a V6-only powertrain seems unlikely. Instead, a hybrid only strategy, similar to the 2025 Camry and Crown, would be more suitable for a potential Avalon revival.
Such a hybrid powertrain would not only align with Toyota’s commitment to electrification but also provide the Avalon with a competitive edge in the increasingly electrified luxury market.
Additionally, a hybrid powertrain would offer a balance of performance and fuel efficiency, making the Avalon an attractive option for consumers seeking a premium sedan.
