TCC’s Bottom Line

If it’s a certain retro appeal you’re after in a four-door sedan, few vehicles can compete with the moderately priced 2020 Chrysler 300.

The 2020 Toyota Avalon works best as a stylish, comfortable cruiser, and not as a wannabe sports sedan.

TCC Likes

Very American in style
Traditional available V-8
No-fuss V-6

Stylish lines, mostly
Comfortable cruiser
Commendable hybrid

TCC Dislikes

No more high-power version
Somber base cabin
Slim rear-seat leg room

Does it really need to be sporty?
Overwrought styling at times
Poor V-6 mpg
