TRD Joins the Toyota Avalon Lineup

The Toyota Avalon is a full-size sedan that makes a sophisticated statement on the road. Spacious enough to accommodate a family road trip and well-equipped to keep everyone connected and protected along the way, the Avalon brings a lot to the table. And for the 2020 model year, Toyota has enhanced the lineup with its own TRD trim!

TRD stands for Toyota Racing Development, and vehicles boasting this designation showcase a sport-tuned performance and distinctive design details both inside and out. For 2020, the Toyota Avalon TRD trim joins four others, slotting right in the middle of the pack. If you’re wondering exactly what this performance-oriented large sedan has to offer in comparison to its non-TRD brothers, read on for a few key details about what sets it apart.

Performance Enhancers

While the Avalon TRD shares the same powertrain as the other trims – that being an energetic 301-horsepower V6 engine mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. This powerplant has no trouble getting up to highway speeds quickly and providing all the muscle you need to navigate around slower-moving traffic.

Where the TRD trim distinguishes itself – and excels at doing so – is in its performance boosters. These include beefier stabilizer bars and underbody braces, which result in a stiffer chassis as compared to other trims in the Avalon lineup. The Avalon TRD also has a lower ride height, larger brakes, and special TRD shock absorbers.

Design Details

The Avalon TRD sports a variety of exterior and interior styling accents that brand it as something beyond the mainstream lineup. Inside the cabin, you’ll find striking enhancements like red stitching, red seat belts, and eye-catching TRD badging. TRD models also get more aggressive exterior elements including a body kit that includes a trunk lid spoiler, a rear diffuser, a front splitter, and side skirts. Matte black 19-inch wheels and a cat-back exhaust show off the Avalon TRD’s more aggressive spirit as compared to the other trims in the lineup.
