The 1995-1999 model years represent the first generation of the Avalon, setting the stage for its success as a premium sedan. While it built upon the platform of the Camry, the Avalon differentiated itself with a longer wheelbase and more luxurious appointments. Available in both XL and XLS trims, the first-generation Avalon featured a 3.0-liter V6 engine mated to a four-speed automatic transmission, delivering a smooth and powerful ride for its time. The exterior design, characterized by its sharp lines and aerodynamic profile, was a departure from the conservative styling of its predecessors. Inside, the cabin was spacious and well-appointed, boasting features like leather upholstery, power windows and locks, and an optional sunroof.
