Best Full-Size Car Resale Value: 2020 Toyota Avalon

Predicted Resale Value After 5 Years of Ownership: 35.1%

BRVA-best-resale-value-awards-logo-240The Toyota Avalon, the Camry’s big brother, has won the Full-Size Car category of KBB’s 2020 Best Resale Value Awards. No big surprise, this: The 2020 Avalon is an altogether impressive vehicle, a spacious and eminently reliable 5-seat luxury sedan in which you needn’t apologize to your back-seat passengers.

Indeed, we spend most of our time inside cars, and that’s where the front-drive Avalon shines. From our Expert Review: “The Avalon is at once roomy and refined, tech-forward yet still simple enough to use even by seasoned drivers. All models feature a prominent 9-inch touch-screen display with redundant physical controls. We also like that the Avalon has a traditional gearshift rather than buttons, dials or some other method deemed futuristic. Roominess remains a core asset of the Avalon, and a big reason buyers prefer Toyota’s flagship sedan to its Camry sibling.

More from our Review: “Rear-seat legroom is impressive even for taller passengers, and the front seats are supple enough to make long treks feel shorter than they are. Even lower trims of the Avalon boast above-average fit and finish, while top-line trims with features like quilted leather paneling could pass for a vehicle by Toyota’s luxury brand, Lexus. At over 16 cubic feet, the trunk is spacious, and fold-down rear seats add to the practicality. The new Avalon TRD model stands out with TRD-embroidered headrests, red stitching and assertive red seatbelts.”

Powertrain choices include a smooth 3.5-liter V6 or a hybrid arrangement featuring a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine and an electric motor. While the standard Avalon returns a respectable 32 mpg on the highway, the Avalon Hybrid gets an impressive 44 mpg in both the EPA City and Highway tests.
