2020 Toyota Avalon Hybrid Limited /// @ $45k

When describing the new Avalon, Toyota starts with two words: Authenticity and Exhilaration. Both were applied in every area of Avalon's sophisticated essence, and throughout the four available grades: the athletic XSE (all-new) and Touring, as well as the more opulent XLE and Limited. HV grades include XLE, Limited, and XSE.
