Federal crash-test performance, recalls, and complaints, scored into one NHTSA Safety Index.
The Toyota Avalon is a full-size front-wheel-drive sedan aimed squarely at buyers who want a premium, spacious alternative to luxury-brand nameplates without crossing into luxury-brand pricing. Spanning the 2019 through 2022 model years in our coverage window, it sits at the top of Toyota's passenger-car lineup and competes against sedans like the Nissan Maxima and Chrysler 300, appealing to comfort-focused drivers who still expect a credible safety story.
The 2022 Toyota Avalon earns an NHTSA Safety Index of 90 out of 100, an exceptional result driven by its federal crash-test stars and its recall record. No vehicle recalls are on file for this model year.

Reviewers generally regard the Avalon as one of the more refined and composed entries in the full-size sedan segment, praising its comfortable ride and well-appointed cabin. Most consider it a strong value relative to near-luxury alternatives. Handling and driver engagement receive more mixed assessments, with some reviewers noting the experience prioritizes serenity over sportiness.
