Toyota press release :
TORRANCE, Calif., March 3, 2010 – – Toyota today announced
manufacturers suggested retail prices (MSRP) for the redesigned 2011
Avalon sedan.  Also announced were the MSRP for 2011 Sienna models
equipped with the new Auto Access Seat.
 
The base MSRP for the entry-level Avalon grade remains unchanged
from the 2010 base Avalon XLS at $32,245, while gaining a significant
amount of new standard equipment, reflecting an excellent value.  The
MSRP for the Avalon Limited will be $35,485, an increase of $200, or
0.6 percent, while also receiving an array of new standard features
over the 2010 model.  Both Avalon grades will go on sale in mid-March.
 
Designed for any passenger who may need assistance getting in and
out of a vehicle, the innovative, industry-first factory installed
Sienna Auto Access Seat (AAS) is now available exclusively on the LE
and XLE V6 Sienna grades.  The base MSRP for the Sienna LE with AAS is
$35,135, and the Sienna XLE with AAS is $39,445.
 
2011 Avalon
Simplifying the customer ordering process, the number of Avalon
model grades has been reduced from three to two, while the amount of
standard equipment has increased, reducing the number of options and
packages by 40 percent.
 
For 2011, Avalon receives distinctive new exterior styling and a
restyled interior rich with premium touch points and practical new
technologies.  The exterior has a wider, more substantial grille that
ties into state-of-the-art projector headlamps.  The new headlamps and
taillamps utilize light pipes for the first time on a Toyota vehicle to
create a signature, night-time appearance.  The front fog lamps, now
integrated into a trapezoidal front bumper, provide a wider angle of
illumination.  New 17-inch wheels on the Limited grade feature a
10-spoke design with a mirror finish. 
 
A new Avalon interior features a contemporary style that remains
spacious and elegant, while adding thoughtfully integrated amenities,
coordinated colors and updated wood-grain materials.
 
A comprehensive infusion of technology was designed into the new
interior to ensure enhanced function and connectivity.  New standard
equipment includes Bluetooth hands-free phone and music streaming to
the audio system from a compatible device, XM® satellite radio
(subscription required), and both USB and 1/8-inch auxiliary
connections for iPod® and other audio devices.  Each of the three
available audio systems can control iPods seamlessly using switches
located on the steering wheel and display track information stored in
the device.
 
The Avalon grade’s standard nine-speaker system offers exceptional
sound quality, while the Limited grade features a standard 12-speaker,
660-watt JBL Premium Synthesis audio system with enhanced two-coil
sub-woofer.  The system uses 12 speakers and a 12-channel digital
amplifier to deliver profoundly rich, full sound to all seats of the
vehicle.
 
Additional standard equipment on the Limited grade includes
enlarged perforated leather seats and seatbacks, driver and passenger
eight-way power with lumbar support, driver’s seat and outside mirror
memory systems, driver’s seat cushion extension, heated and ventilated
front seats, rain-sensing wipers, Smart Key System with push button
start, High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps, and power rear
sunshade.
 
All Avalon models continue to come standard with a DOHC 3.5-liter
V6 with Dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) mated to
an electronically-controlled six-speed transmission with sequential
shift, generating 268 horsepower at 6,200 rpm.  Avalon’s expected
EPA-estimated mileage ratings of 20 mpg city/29 mpg highway are as good
as or better than any other V6 engine in the segment.  Avalon is rated
as an Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV).
 
The redesigned Avalon continues to feature Toyota’s standard Star
Safety System that includes Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), anti-lock
braking system (ABS) with Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD),
Brake Assist, and TRAC traction control system.  Avalon also receives a
redesigned accelerator pedal assembly and a brake override system. This
braking system enhancement will automatically reduce engine power when
the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal are applied simultaneously
under certain driving conditions.  Seven airbags, including a front
knee bag for the driver, and front side curtain airbags for both rows,
are also standard.
 
Restyled at Calty Design Research Centers in California and
Michigan and engineered at the Toyota Technical Center in Ann Arbor,
the Avalon will continue to be assembled at Toyota Motor Manufacturing
Kentucky (TMMK).
 
2011 Sienna Auto Access Seat Models
The factory-installed Auto Access Seat features a one-touch
operation and benefits from the all-new Sienna’s spacious interior and
wide-opening sliding doors.  A seat-mounted ingress/egress switch and a
wireless remote control allows for easy and flexible seat operation. 
The seat rotates 90 degrees and can be lowered to within 19 inches of
the ground to further facilitate easier passenger transfers at the
exact height required.
 
Once inside, the Auto Access Seat occupant can utilize reclining
and slide switches located on both sides of the seat.  This allows
operation of up to four inches of slide travel and reclining of up to
24 degrees.  The auto-recline feature also allows for safe head
clearance through the door frame during entry and exit.
 
Sienna AAS models will go on sale in mid-March.  Consumers can
contact their local Toyota dealer to place orders.  Further information
on the new Sienna AAS models can be found on YouTube by searching
“Sienna Auto Access Seat.”  Additional information will be available on
the Toyota Mobility Website (www.toyotamobility.com) beginning in April.
 
Toyota MSRPs do not include a delivery, processing and handling
(DPH) fee of $750 for Avalon and $800 for the Sienna AAS.  The DPH fee
for vehicles distributed by Southeast Toyota (SET) and Gulf States
Toyota (GST) may vary.
