New 2013 Toyota Avalon debuts in NY

By George on April 7th, 2012

Toyota has revealed the all-new 2013 Avalon at the New York Auto Show. The new Avalon is a bit smaller than the outgoing model and will arrive at local dealerships late this year.

Key exterior design elements include the square Double-eye PES (Projector Ellipsoid System) headlamps with HID (High-Intensity Discharge)and DRL (Daytime Running Lights) feature available that provide excellent night time visibility while helping define a narrower, more taut and muscular exterior expression. There is also a wider, more assertive grille design and at the rear you can see high-performance LED combination tail lamps and dual rear tailpipe outlets.

The new Avalon will offer innovative technologies such as advanced capacitive touch switches with positioning and sensitivity that makes them ideal for vehicle system controls. Other premium in-car technologies include three color display screens that support the multi-information display, the audio/navigation interface, and the climate control panel.

At this point the company did not release any engine specs, which will be released very likely closer to the launch date.
