Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive System combines output from a 2.5 L Atkinson-cycle, four-cylinder engine and a high-torque electric motor. This arrangement produces a net of 200 horsepower, giving the 2018 Avalon Hybrid a strong and responsive acceleration with comfortable and quiet road manners.
The hybrid system allows the big Avalon sedan to earn EPA fuel economy ratings of 40 mpg city and 39 mpg highway, which gives you over 500 miles per full tank. In fact, I recently drove from Dallas to Galveston and back on just one tank of gas.
