Full-size sedans have been seriously waning in popularity the last few years, with sales falling and the choice of models dropping like flies. However, if a full-size sedan is what you're seeking, it's hard to argue against the 2018 Toyota Avalon, a car that has very much been the segment's benchmark for years now. It provides a more spacious back seat and trunk than a mid-size sedan can muster, along with a higher degree of refinement.
Yet, the Avalon stands out from its few remaining competitors by not only excelling at the basics, but by going above-and-beyond with a cabin that rivals (or surpasses) luxury models and a list of standard features that includes accident avoidance tech. You'd have to pay extra for that in competitors. And, of course, the Avalon has a well-earned reputation for reliability.
Plus, the Avalon is even aging gracefully despite being on the market for five years since its last full redesign. Sure, it doesn't have Toyota's latest-and-greatest V6 powertrain offered in the new Camry, but the 6-cylinder it has is still plenty powerful. If you're prioritizing fuel economy, the Avalon Hybrid really is your best full-size sedan choice.
