Great Gas Mileage For A Big Car - 2014 Toyota Avalon Hybrid
By malps1 - June 8 - 7:11 pmIve had the Avalon hybrid for 5 months. So far, the gas mileage has been decent, but with the a//c on, the mileage is less than advertised. The navigation system is ok but not as feature driven as some. For example, if I want to know the nearest Walgreens, it does not allow me to enter that as search criteria. However, it does work well with a normal address. The volume of the voice is changeable with nav setup. The ride is comfortable with lots of legroom in the back. The Entune system is good, except it uses a lot of battery power from my phone, so I dont use it. In ECO mode, the car provides enough power for normal use, and with it off, it is quite fast.

Deficiencies - annoying - 2014 Toyota Avalon Hybrid
By tedtnj - May 11 - 9:11 amNAV system is primitive compared to my five year old TomTom. Theres no 3D, there are no traffic light cameras and there is no display of current speed limits. Programming the NAV is tedious. In seven years the NAV system has moved ahead one year in its development [see below]. Further, the NAV system voice even at the lowest level #1 is much too loud; and there is no way to lower the volume, save disabling all sound. It is far louder than my 2007 Toyota Avalon Limited at sound level #1. There is a plastic chrome bezel around the instrument cluster. When sun hits the bezel, it is most distracting. Dealer team says thats the way it is Ugly situation.
