Vehicle Highlights
Built on an extended version of the compact, front-drive Camry platform, Avalon was the roomiest Japanese-brand sedan ever sold in the U.S. Interior volume of 120.9 cubic feet, however, ranked as full-size. Two versions were offered, Base XL and upscale XLS. Both use the dual-cam 3.0-liter V6 and 4-speed automatic from the Camry. However, horsepower was up by four, to 192. Dual airbags were standard and antilock brakes optional. Both models came standard with air conditioning, an AM/FM cassette stereo, tilt steering wheel, and power windows and door locks. Buyers had a choice of standard front bucket seats or a 3-place power front bench.
