The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:
|
Big car comfort with electronic safety and sophistication.
By Sam Moses, NewCarTestDrive.com
Toyota Avalon offers a strong value among full-size sedans. Smooth and comfortable, it's a great sedan, though its styling could use a bit of swoop or flash to match its performance.Avalon is a practical sedan, but it can be equipped with luxurious leather seats, handsome seven-spoke aluminum wheels and a JBL sound system that rivals almost anything you can buy for your home. It's Toyota's flagship sedan. |
|
Overview:
|
Toyota Avalon is a large, comfortable sedan with tight handling and a flawless ride. It's smooth and quiet with extremely low levels of noise, vibration, and harshness, a good car for long hours in the saddle. It has plenty of power and excellent brakes. Electronic wizardry and a well-developed chassis make it an easy car to handle in hazardous road conditions. When equipped with the available front bench seat, it can transport six passengers in typical Toyota comfort and quiet serenity. Revised front and rear styling give the 2003 Avalon a more road-gripping look. For passenger comfort and convenience, an air filtration system and sunvisors with extensions are now standard. For 2003, Avalon is safer than ever, with multi-stage front airbags and ISO-FIX child-restraint tethers.
