Toyota’s commitment to safety is
demonstrated through our innovative
Star Safety System™, and our
dedication to reliability is proven by
the fact that over 80% of Toyotas
sold in Canada in the last 20 years are
still on the road today*. Those are just
a few reasons why you’ll feel more
confident than ever sitting behind
the wheel.
The new 2013 Avalon, it’s the start
of a new Toyota.
SECOND ROW, FIRST CLASS
Easy access to the rear heater and
air conditioning, means you can now
take temperature control into your
own hands. And with integrated
centre armrest cupholders, generous
legroom and trunk pass-through,
it’s a second row that’s anything
but second best.
CRAFTED LEATHER
Avalon comes standard with
power-adjustable, leather-trimmed
heated front seats that are
exceptionally soft and comfortable.
Separate controls allow the driver
and front passenger to set and adjust
the heating temperature individually.

It screams

Part of Avalon’s whisper-quiet ride can be
it produces an impressive 268 horsepower and
attributed to its smooth and powerful 3.5-litre
248 lb.ft. of torque. It’s also incredibly efficient,
V6 engine. Incorporating Double Overhead Cams
with a combined city/highway fuel consumption
(DOHC), four valves per cylinder and Dual Variable
rating of 8.3 L/100 km.2
Valve Timing with intelligence (Dual VVT-i),
In a quiet kind of way
AERODYNAMIC DESIGN
With a drag coefficient of only 0.28, Avalon ranks as
one of the most aerodynamic sedans in the world.
This was accomplished not only through its raked
windshield and sloping roofline, but also through
small details that make a big difference in the wind
tunnel – and on the road. Underneath the chassis,
specially shaped diffuser panels reduce turbulence,
resulting in greater stability and reduced wind noise.
In addition, we reduced Avalon’s weight and increased
structural rigidity for improved chassis response and
handling.
DRIVE MODE SELECT
Drive Mode Select enables you to make your Avalon
more responsive or efficient with the simple press
of a button. ECO mode moderates the throttle
response, engine power output and climate settings
for increased fuel efficiency. Normal mode provides
the optimal balance of fuel efficiency and engine
performance. Sport mode alters the powertrain
for faster gear changes and more dynamic throttle
mapping.
PADDLE SHIFTERS
Personalize your driving experience through steering
wheel-mounted paddles that allow manual gear
selection. To upshift, simply pull the right paddle;
to downshift, pull the left paddle. The system will
even match revs during downshifts for smoother
driving and better control.
INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION
Avalon features a fully independent suspension that
produces confident handling and uncompromising
ride quality.

The best way
to stay safe

Is to avoid accidents altogether
2013 Avalon come standard with the Star Safety System™.
This integration of active safety features is designed to protect
occupants by helping drivers avoid accidents in the first place.
A safe vehicle should do more than protect you and your family in the
event of an accident. It should help you prevent one in the first place.
That’s why Avalon comes standard with a total of 10 airbags, the Star
Safety System,™ and a rigid body frame designed to absorb impact
VSC
energy and redistribute it around and away from the passenger cabin for
enhanced impact protection.

Pre-collision System
Utilizing advanced radar technology; the available
Pre-Collision System (PCS)8 can detect an
immediate frontal collision and while retracting the
seatbelts, automatically prepare Brake Assist (BA)6
to provide increased braking pressure the moment
you forcibly step on the brake pedal.
TRAC
TRACTION CONTROL
Helps maintain traction on wet, icy, loose or uneven surfaces
by applying brake force to the spinning wheel(s).
ABS
Anti-Lock Brake System
Prevents brakes from locking up by “pulsing” brake pressure
to each wheel to help you stay in control in emergency
braking situations.
EBD
Electronic Brake-force Distribution
Redistributes brake force to help keep the rear wheels
from locking up during sudden braking situations.
BA
Brake Assist
Detects sudden or “panic” braking and adds the full pressure
needed to help prevent a collision.6
SST
Smart Stop Technology
Smart Stop Technology is designed to reduce engine power
when the brake is firmly applied helping to bring the vehicle
to a stop, even if the accelerator pedal is fully depressed.7

AVAILABLE BLIND SPOT MONITOR10 WITH
REAR CROSS-TRAFFIC ALERT11
The available Blind Spot Monitor (BSM)10 with Rear
Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA)11 uses radar technology
to help you identify vehicles that may not be visible
when changing lanes or backing out of a parking
space. When a vehicle is detected, a warning indicator
illuminates on the appropriate side-view mirror.
Backup Camera
Avalon’s backup camera is located above the rear
licence plate. When in reverse, the camera displays
the visible area behind the vehicle on the Display
Audio touch-screen.

airbags or side curtain airbags. For important safety information about the Supplemental Restraint System in
a vehicle, please see the Owner’s Manual or contact your local Toyota Dealer.
(2) F uel efficiency estimates were determined using approved Government of Canada Test Methods. Actual fuel
consumption will vary based on driving habits and other factors.
(3) T oyota tests certain phones for compatibility with Bluetooth technology. Some vehicles equipped with
Bluetooth technology are available with bilingual capability. Note that the recommendation of Toyota is not
a warranty of the performance for any phone and that some problems may occur with any type of handset
based on the service coverage available in your area. Please see your Toyota Dealer for details.
(4) T he Toyota Navigation system is designed to assist in locating an address or point of interest. Discrepancies
may be encountered between the system and your actual location. Changes in street names, road closures,
traffic flow or other road system changes may affect the accuracy of the mapping software. Rely on your
common sense to decide whether or not to follow a specified route. Detailed coverage is not available

under adverse conditions. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Factors including speed, road
conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether VSC will be effective in preventing a loss of
control.
(6) Brake Assist is designed to help the driver take full advantage of the benefits of ABS. It is not a substitute
for safe driving practices. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake-system maintenance and tire
and road conditions.
(7) Smart Stop Technology operates only in the event of certain simultaneous brake and gas pedal applications.
When engaged, the system will reduce engine power to help the brakes bring the vehicle to a stop. Factors
including speed, road conditions and driver input can all impact stopping distance. Smart Stop Technology
is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving and does not guarantee instant stopping.
(8) The Pre-Collision System is designed to help reduce the crash speed and damage in certain frontal collisions
only. It is not a collision-avoidance system and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. System
effectiveness depends on many factors, such as speed, driver input and road conditions. Please see your
Owner’s Manual for further information.
(9) Dynamic Radar Cruise Control was designed to assist the driver and is not a substitute for safe and attentive
driving practices.
(10) Do not rely exclusively on the Blind Spot Monitor System to determine if a lane change is safe. Always
look over your shoulder and use your turn signal before changing lanes. There are several limitations to
the function, detection, range and clarity of the monitor. For a complete list of limitations and directions
regarding use of the monitor system, please see your Owner’s Manual.
(11) Do not rely exclusively on the Rear Cross-Traffic Alert System. There are limitations to the function,
detection and range of the system. You should also look around outside your vehicle, over your shoulder
and use your mirrors to confirm rearward clearance. For a complete list of limitations and directions,
please see your Owner’s Manual.
