Outside, the Touring Sport Edition stands out from a stock Avalon thanks to an Attitude Black paint job, automatic HID headlights as well as model-specific emblems on both front doors. The finishing touch is a set of machine-finished 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped by Michelin tires.
The interior has been spruced up with heated front seats upholstered in premium perforated leather with blue contrast stitching, dark blue trim on the dashboard and the center console, aluminum door sills and custom floor mats. The sedan comes standard with an eight-way power-adjustable front seat and a four-way passenger seat.
Toyota has not made any mechanical changes to the Avalon, meaning the Touring Sport Edition is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that sends 268 horsepower and 248 lb-ft. of torque to the front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. The Avalon is capable of reaching 62 mph from a stop in a little over six seconds.
The 2015 Toyota Avalon XLE Touring Sport Edition is scheduled to go on sale next week with a base price of $37,170. Toyota is planning on building just 2,500 examples of the cars between the end of the month and March of 2015.
