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. more Apple CarPlay® Setup Step One First off, you need to make sure your iPhone is compatible with Apple CarPlay®. You need to have an iPhone 5 or newer in order for it to work. That includes all versions of the iPhone 5, 6, 7, and on. As long as you have an iPhone 5 or newer, you need to turn on Bluetooth® on your phone, then pair your phone to the car’s Bluetooth®. If you need help completing this step, refer to this guide from Apple: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203412 2020 Toyota Avalon Limited Interior Features Apple CarPlay® Setup Step Two Start your car. As always, only navigate menus while parked, but when your car is on, press the menu button on the left side of the screen. Press the Setup button with the icon of a gear on it. In the list of setup options, you will need to locate the CarPlay® on/off button and switch it to “on.” Apple CarPlay® Setup Step Three To fully take advantage of Apple CarPlay® functionality, you need to connect your phone with a USB cable. This will likely be the cable your phone uses to charge. Plug the big rectangular end into the USB port in the center console of the Avalon. Note: there will be up to three USB ports, but two are marked for charging only. Use the one that is not marked for charging. In some versions of the Avalon, this port will have an auxiliary audio (3.5 mm) jack just above it. Plug the other end of the cable into your iPhone. Apple CarPlay® Setup Step Four Press the menu button on the left side of the car touchscreen again and select the Apple CarPlay® option and you’re good to go! In this mode, you can use your Apple Maps, Messages, and iTunes without needing to pick up your phone. It should also make hands-free calling as simple as can be. Learn to use the controls on your steering wheel and you’ll master Apple CarPlay® in no time!

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. more 2020 Toyota Avalon Engine The latest version of the Avalon has two different engine options, since the Avalon is sold as a hybrid and as a traditional gasoline car. The hybrid engine is a 2.5-liter dynamic force 4-cylinder that can generate 176 horsepower and 163 lb-ft of torque. The straight gasoline engine is far more powerful. Displacing 3.5 liters and pumping with 6 V-angled cylinders, the gasoline engine option produces 301 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. 2020 Toyota Avalon Technology and Connectivity Features Clearly, the gasoline V6 produces more power and agrees better with the sportier outer appearance. The horsepower rating crossing over the 300 mark does make it a muscly sedan, but it falls short of the performance vehicle styling it uses. Revving the engine can still give you a fun rush, however. 2020 Toyota Avalon Transmission The Avalon has an 8-speed shiftable automatic on every trim. The shiftable functionality lets those who want to feel more of the vehicle’s latent power take advantage of it when they want, but also move back into regular automatic mode for daily driving. Having 8 speeds is a perfect number for this car. 6 speeds wouldn’t quite feel like enough, and 10 or more speeds wouldn’t make sense either. 2020 Toyota Avalon Fuel Efficiency Does the V6 engine take too much away from the fuel efficiency of the Avalon? That depends on your expectations. If you’re used to full-size family sedans, you will still see comparable fuel efficiency to similar models, but don’t expect the Avalon to sip fuel as slow as the Corolla or Yaris just because it’s a Toyota. The 2020 Toyota Avalon Limited trim level—one of the most popular trims—is estimated to get 22 MPG in the city, 31 MPG on the highway, and 25 MPG during combined driving.
