Submitted by paula on Sat, 02/29/2020 - 11:31amAfter testing nearly every hybrid on the market including products from Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, and Ford.

Usually, the predominant factor in buying a hybrid is fuel economy and while the Avalon is rated at 43/43/43 mpg which is not the highest rating among hybrids, it can clearly outperform those numbers while doing so many other things extremely well.
