Mid-size Sedan · what it costs new, what it’s worth used, and who has one near you.
The 2021 Toyota Avalon is a mid-size sedan we track across the used market in Canada. It comes in gas (9.7 L/100 km) and hybrid (8.4 L/100 km) forms, so the main choice is fuel — the hybrid earns its premium back over enough kilometres. A 21-year-old one keeps roughly 17% of a current model's market price — what actually matters over five years of ownership.

Air Bags · Frontal
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Toyota Avalon and 2020 Avalon Hybrid, RAV4, and RAV4 Hybrid vehicles. Breakaway pins within the steering column, designed to absorb energy and reduce injury during a crash, could have been damaged during production, possibly affecting the performance of the driver's air bag in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
