The Touring grade - in addition to its sporty suspension tuning - adds comfort features over the XL, including leather-trimmed seats; a power front passenger seat; leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and aluminum door scuff plates.

Also adding to the XL standard features, the XLS grade includes a power moonroof; four-way adjustable power passenger seat; in-dash six-disc CD changer; dual heated outside mirrors with auto-dimming electrochromic driver's side; auto-dimming electrochromic rearview mirror with compass; aluminum door scuff plates, and an anti-theft system.


Toyota Avalon Limited Offers a Strong Taste of Luxury

The top-of-the-line Toyota Avalon Limited offers luxury-grade comfort. The steering wheel and shift lever are wrapped in leather. The driver and front passenger seats are heated, and also feature a fan in the seat cushion and seat back that blows cabin air through the perforated leather trim to enhance comfort. The front of the driver's seat cushion length is power-adjustable, offering improved thigh support.

Toyota Avalon Limited also features a JBL Synthesis audio system with a six-disc CD changer and 12 speakers; a one-touch auto-reverse power rear sunshade; memory driver's seat, rain-sensing wipers, HID headlamps and the Smart Key System for added convenience and enhanced security.

With Smart Key, the driver carries a light, compact key fob that signals a sensor in the car when it is near, turning on the puddle lamps and interior dome lamp, and then unlocking the doors when touched. Rather than using a key to start the engine, Smart Key allows the driver to simply push the power switch. The System also allows drivers to open the trunk when the key fob is carried near the rear bumper.


Options for Even More Comfort

Options available on XL and Touring grades include an in-dash six-disc CD changer, power moonroof and an anti-theft system. A 360-watt maximum output JBL Synthesis audio system with six-disc CD changer and 12 speakers is offered on Touring and XLS models. Heated front seats are also available on the Touring.

Toyota Avalon Limited offers the Dynamic Laser Cruise Control system that can maintain a pre-set distance between the Avalon and a vehicle traveling in front of it. For example, the system will decrease the Avalon's speed if the preceding vehicle slows down or when another vehicle pulls in between.

Both driver and passengers can plot a course on the XLS, Touring and Limited models with an available navigation system using an eight-way switch and scroll lever. The navigation controls have surface-emitting illumination and hide away above the gated shifter. Maps, climate and select audio controls are shown on the seven-inch LCD color display located beneath the center air vents.

A Remote Engine Starter is available on all Avalon grades equipped with the factory alarm system as a port- or dealer-installed option. Drivers can start the engine from a remote location by depressing a button on the key fob. After the engine has started, the climate control system will use the most recent settings to help ensure cabin comfort quickly.

Toyota's 36-month/36,000-mile basic new-vehicle limited warranty applies to all components other than normal wear and maintenance items. Additional 60-month warranties cover the powertrain for 60 months/60,000 miles and corrosion perforation for 60 months with no mileage limitation.
