Toyota has released a teaser image for its 2015 Chicago Auto Show exhibit, the 2016 Toyota Avalon (facelift). While the overly dark teaser image doesn't give away much, a digital enhancement exposes all the changes.
In comparison to the current Avalon, the facelifted version has a redesigned bumper and airdam, and re-arranged LED Daytime Running Lamps in the headlamp cluster. And the grille appears to be sleeker than before, too.
Online reports speculate on the good chances of a new look interior in the 2016 model. The side profile and the rear could also get subtly updated.
In the U.S. market, the Avalon is available in eight trims, starting with the base XLE priced at USD 32,285 (INR 19.93 lakhs) and going all the way up to Hybrid Limited which costs $41,700 (INR 25.74 lakhs).
Powering the vehicle is a 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine that makes 268 hp at 6,200 rpm and 336 Nm of torque at 4,700 rpm. On the other hand, the hybrid version uses a 2.5-litre engine mated to an AC motor, both of which make a combined power output of 200 hp.
