The 2015 Avalon ushers in a new round of refinements in the third year of its fourth-generation design. Taking advantage of the Avalon's coupe-like silhouette and chiseled lines, a new XLE Touring Sport Edition makes a striking style statement.

Available exclusively in Attitude Black contrasted by dark blue interior trim and stitching, the best looker in the premium midsize segment just got even sharper - and even a bit sinister looking.

The Avalon XLE Touring Sport Edition cuts through the night with standard HID Quadrabeam headlights from the Limited trim line. By day, LED daytime running lights (DRLs) -- also from the Limited -- announce this special Avalon model's arrival. Exclusive 18-inch black-painted machine-finished wheels complete the exterior makeover.

In other Avalon news for 2015, Toyota value rises with the inclusion of standard paddle shifters on all models and with an upgrade to new Entune multimedia audio systems.

The 2015 Avalon offers a choice between an energetic yet silky-smooth V6 powertrain and Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive.

Exquisite quietness comes from a combination of strategically placed sound-absorbing and sound-insulating materials, acoustic-type glass used for the windshield and side glass and foam injected into the A-, B- and C-pillars and rocker panels.

An interior available in three themes -- almond, light grey and black -- is replete with premium touches, such as smoke chrome trim surrounding the center panel and glossy trim around the shifter.

Toyota Avalon accelerates powerfully and quietly with a standard 3.5-liter, DOHC V6, an interesting contrast to the 4-cylinder engines now used in some midsize luxury models. The engine produces 268 horsepower and 248 lb.-ft. of torque. Teamed with a 6-speed automatic transmission, the V6 can move the Avalon from zero to 60 mph in less than 7 seconds.
