Toyota Avalon facts for kids

Toyota Avalon

The Toyota Avalon is a comfortable and spacious car made by the Japanese company Toyota. It's known as a "full-size" car, which means it's one of the bigger sedans (cars with four doors and a separate trunk) that Toyota makes. It's designed to be smooth and quiet for long trips.

The Toyota Avalon is sold in several places around the world. As of 2013, you could find it in countries like the United States, Canada, and South Korea, as well as in Puerto Rico and parts of the Middle East.

The car's name, Avalon, comes from a very old story. It's named after Avalon, a famous and mysterious island from Celtic legends. This legendary island is often described as a beautiful and peaceful place.

History of the Avalon

The Toyota Avalon first came out as a 1995 model. This means it was available for people to buy starting in 1994, for the 1995 car year. Since it was first introduced, the Avalon has been very popular. Over 1 million of these cars have been sold, showing how many people have chosen it for its comfort and reliability.

What is a Full-Size Car?

A full-size car like the Toyota Avalon is typically larger than other sedans. This means it has more space inside for passengers, both in the front and back seats. It also usually has a bigger trunk for carrying luggage or groceries. These cars are often chosen by families or people who want a very comfortable ride, especially on highways.
