2013 Toyota Avalon Price In India: Toyota said the 2013 Avalon Hybrid, which is the first time this particular sedan has had the hybrid treatment applied to it, uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder employing the Atkinson cycle which alone is rated at 156 horsepower at 5,700 rpm. It is mated to two high output electric motors housed in the transaxle that are rated at 105 kW total, and the total system output for the Avalon’s Hybrid Synergy Drive comes in at 200 horsepower, or enough to help the vehicle accelerate from 0 to 60 in about 8.0 seconds.
Powering the hybrid system is a 244.8-volt nickel metal-hydride battery housed inside a battery pack installed inside the luggage compartment and close to the rear seat to help maximize trunk capacity. Regenerative braking helps to recharge this battery. The Avalon Hybrid offers up multiple driving modes, similar to other hybrids and electric cars, which allow for choices between better fuel economy and performance. There’s also an EV only mode that allows the car to go for about one mile at speeds of up to 20 miles per hour when conditions are ideal.
