Hybrid car sales appear to have stalled at a constant rate, with the prices of gas remaining fairly reasonable. This has necessitated automakers to provide more incentives on their different hybrid car models. Among the favorite hybrid car models is Toyota’s Avalon. This large sedan with 40 mpg was launched three years ago and in the last few months its incentives have gradually increased. CarsDirect gave a report indicating that there was a monthly lease of $319 as a July incentive. This was around $2,000 less the cost of the car that could cover a 12,000-mile range annually for a total of three years. With such a deal, it would be better to go for the sedan rather than a traditional gasoline version. This is possible when the benefits of fuel-economy are overlooked, considering the fact that Avalon Hybrid is associated with standard equipment that are of higher level.

For drivers interested in purchasing Avalon hybrid right now, $2,000 cash back is being offered by Toyota on all levels of trim. Specific buyers who are ‘well-qualified’ are also offered 0% financing by Toyota company. Another alternative given to buyers is that of getting an extra $500 off for using Toyota for the financing process. However, CarsDirect has noted that with this option, buyers may not get the best rates of interest. In 2013, Toyota Avalon was tested and it was found that it had a range of 40 mpg, which is great for a large-sized sedan with five seats. The rates given for Avalon Hybrid by the EPA are 39 mpg for highway drives and 40 mpg for city driving. The car was definitely a center of attraction when it was newly launched with buyers driving alternative cars looking around to see what was being offered by the Avalon.

Now the same shape has been adopted by Hyundai’s 2015 Sonata Hybrid following a redesigning. Despite this, Avalon Hybrid is still the winner since it is not only large and comfortable, but its fuel economy is also good. The performance of Avalon’s hybrid powertrain is almost the same as that of its V-6 counterpart. This is a clear indication that full benefits of fuel economy offered by hybrid technology are fully realized ignoring the at times it offers a bleak-driving experience. Although the Camry Hybrid by Toyota remains less costly, the interior has little space and the fuel efficiency is unlikely better than that of Avalon. According to a review by TheCarConnection, the range of Avalon is somehow the same as that of Lexus though Lexus is more expensive.
