The Avalon was discontinued in America back in 2022, but China just handed it a fresh face, split taillights and a 54 mpg hybrid option
Toyota phased out the Avalon in the United States after the 2022 model year, but the car continued to live on overseas. The nameplate has stayed on sale in China, built through Toyota’s joint venture with FAW, and the sedan is now getting its third facelift for that market. The first landed in 2022 and the second, a more thorough reworking, arrived in July 2024.

Quietly revealed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the third facelift effectively blends elements from the Camry and rear-wheel drive Crown. As a result, the Avalon has a familiar front fascia with C-shaped lighting units and a large grille with vertical bars. They’re joined by vertical air curtains as well as an angular front bumper.
While the filing doesn’t show much of the side profile, it appears to carryover largely untouched. However, we can expect updated 17- and 18-inch alloy wheels.
Bigger changes occur out back as there are new split taillights. The Avalon badging also moves from the light bar to the middle of the trunk. Likewise, the license plate recess has been relocated to the redesigned bumper.

According to the paperwork, there will be two versions that measure 196.5 inches (4,990 mm) and 199 inches (5,055 mm) long. Both are said to have a 150 hp (112 kW / 152 PS) engine, although one version has a hybrid powertrain and HEV badging, which is said to increase output to 184 hp (137 kW / 186 PS). This will apparently allow for a fuel consumption rating as low as 4.31 L/100km (54.6 mpg).
