Overview
Cars like the 2018 Toyota Avalon Hybrid Sedan might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its usefulness must not be overlooked. The Avalon hybrid uses its 2.5L Inline 4 engine and a 1.6 kWh battery to produce 200 horsepower and 156 lb-ft of torque. This gives the Avalon hybrid a 0-60 of 7.4 seconds. The hybrid engine here is to support the gasoline engine to boost performance and offer slightly better fuel economy than what a single gasoline engine would be capable of. That said, the 2018 Avalon hybrid achieves a combined fuel economy of 40 MPG. As part of the fullsize sedan, the Avalon hybrid competes with the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid, the Honda Accord Hybrid, and the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. It offers 3 trims, starting off at an MSRP of $37,500.
