The Toyota Avalon is compatible with Apple CarPlay®, meaning anyone with an iPhone that’s relatively new can connect to it and enjoy their favorite apps through the car for safer, less-distracted driving. This blog is meant to take you step-by-step through the process of setting up Apple CarPlay®. These instructions apply specifically to the fifth generation of the Toyota Avalon, which includes the 2019 and 2020 model years, and will likely remain relevant for a few model years until the next time the Avalon is redesigned. 

The latest generation of the Toyota Avalon—now in its second year with the 2020 Toyota Avalon—is designed to appeal to a more performance-minded crowd than the luxury styling it once had. With a big, dark grille in the front, stylized body lines and head- and tail-lights designed like an Italian supercar’s, it’s clear the Avalon looks sportier than ever. But, does that outer design reflect a change inside? Read on to find out about how well the 2020 Toyota Avalon performs. 

The Toyota Avalon is going through somewhat of a metamorphosis in its fifth generation.

With an enormous grille, front bumper side air scoops and angular body lines, the most recent model years of the Avalon seem to be pining after a 20- or 30-something audience that wants a bit more thrill than relaxation in their driving experience.
