2004 Model Grades
Both the 2004 Toyota Avalon XL and XLS models offer a feeling of perfection, rich in luxurious appointments and sophisticated amenities. The XL features elegant lines and available 16-inch alloy wheels designed to capture attention. For sustained interest over many miles and years, both are equipped with an advanced 210-hp VVT-i V6 engine and available perforated leather-trimmed seats. The XLS distinguishes itself with technologically advanced features and elements of luxury. A multi-function information display keeps the driver well informed, while the available Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)¹ helps maintain command. Additional XLS features include rain-sensing windshield wipers and a driver-side outside mirror with an auto-dimming electrochromic feature, exemplifying how the XLS adapts to the driving environment. Now that you've found the perfect reward, the decision is between the XL or XLS.

⁶Toyota Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) is an electronic system designed to help the driver maintain vehicle control under adverse conditions. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether VSC will be effective in preventing a loss of control. Please see your Owner's Manual for further details.
⁷Brake Assist is designed to help the driver take full advantage of the benefits of ABS. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake-system maintenance and tire and road conditions.
