audio system, dual-zone climate control, a multi-function
display providing time, outside temperature, twin trip meters,
odometer and warning lights, power windows that include
a driver's side one-touch up/down feature with pinch protection

feature that stops the doors from locking if the keys are
in the ignition.

climate control, trip computer and compass display, rain-sensing
wipers, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with woodgrain-style

A double overhead-cam 3.0-liter V6 engine powers the 2003
Toyota Avalon with 210 horsepower at 5,800 rpm and 220lb.-ft.
of peak torque at 4,400 rpm. Toyota's advanced Variable
Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) optimizes power delivery

four-channel anti-lock (ABS) four-wheel disc brakes with
an electronic brake force distribution (EBD) feature that

under hard braking, especially while cornering. Both Avalon
models come with multi-stage front airbags and seat-mounted
side airbags for the driver and front passenger.
