Toyota Of Wallingford

If you're in the market for a fun, dependable, efficient and stylish mid-size sedan, then Toyota of Wallingford serving the Wallingford, Bristol, Middletown and Woodbridge areas would like to recommend considering the 2013 Toyota Avalon. Redesigned for the 2013 year, and available in a hybrid variant, the Avalon offers drivers the utmost in luxury with its comfort, convenience and technology features.

And, though we at Toyota of Wallingford, being a Toyota dealership, highly praise all of the models in the new Toyota lineup, we're aren't the only ones who are touting the Avalon. Rather, the autophiles at the venerable publication, Kelley Blue Book, have test driven the Avalon themselves and had nothing but good things to say about the well-equipped model.

So, just what was said?

For starters, KBB editors lauded the 2013 Avalon for its high-end materials which extend even to the seats and well-tuned suspension that provide a smooth ride with minimal noise interference for all drivers and passengers.

What's more, the Toyota Avalon is very user friendly and features innovative touch sensors to replace the standard controls for adjustments such as temperature and others; and unlike other new technology, the touch sensor technology is incredibly reliable without glitches. KBB also commended the 2013 Avalon on its entertainment features including, but not limited to, a 6.1-inch touch screen with Entune connection.

No matter how you slice it, safety should be, and often is, the number one concern drivers consider when they're in the market for a new auto. And, while it's true a vehicle is only as safe as the person who's driving it, there are certain mechanisms that automakers can put into place to help make the vehicles they offer as safe as possible.

Enter our favorite brand, Toyota. In case you didn't know, a great deal of new Toyota models are considered to be Top Safety Picks as determined by the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety). In fact, 12 models have recently landed on the list for the 2013 year ? 12, that's quite an accomplishment.

The vehicles recognized performed well in seven out of 12 categories the IIHS provided. Out of all the large-scale manufacturers on the list, Toyota placed the most vehicles.

Curious to know which vehicles earned the designation? Here they are, in no particular order:

• the Toyota Yaris
• the Toyota Corolla
• the Toyota Prius
• the Toyota Prius c
• the Toyota Prius v
• the Toyota Camry
• the Toyota Avalon
• the Toyota 4Runner
• the Toyota Highlander
• the Toyota Venza
• the Toyota Sienna
• the Toyota Tundra

And, we at Toyota of Wallingford can say, without a doubt, that all of the above models are worth checking out, as well as the others in the new Toyota lineup. To do just that, we encourage you to stop by our conveniently located dealership at 859 North Colony Rd. Wallingford, CT 06492, any time.

There are few models in the new Toyota lineup that Toyota of Wallingford is more excited about than the all new 2013 Toyota Avalon.

Not only is this the first time that the full-size premium sedan will feature a hybrid fueltrain option capable of an impressive 40-mpg combined rating, but the new Avalon will sport a complete re-design while still holding on to that signature Toyota Avalon feel.

Yes, the enthusiasm surrounding the 2013 Toyota Avalon is certainly palpable, and it makes us even more thrilled to hear about updates for other models in the new Toyota lineup; especially, now that we've heard the venerable Toyota Corolla has undergone a transformation that could rival the overhaul of the Avalon.

Although details were recently limited, Toyota had confirmed that the Corolla would receive a complete visual-revamp. And specifically, recent photos show a stiffer body design with a lower hatchback than its outgoing generation.

And while looks are one thing, we're pretty happy to hear that the capable underpinnings of the 2012 Toyota Corolla are slated to remain unchanged for the forthcoming model year. That means we're pretty certain to see the same highly-efficient 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine that achieves up to 34 mpg highway in place for 2013 too.

To see the new Toyota Corolla and Avalon models for yourself, Toyota of Wallingford invites you to visit us at 859 North Colony Rd. Wallingford, CT 06492 upon their arrivals. And, in the meantime feel free to check out our currently available selection of new Toyota and gently used car models.

Wallingford, CT 06492.
