The Avalon was manufactured in Toyota's plant in Kentucky (TMMK), replacing the Cressida (known as Mark II in Japan) as Toyota's top-end sedan in North America. The car was developed at the Toyota Technical Center U.S.A., and production started in March 1994. The Avalon made its North American debut at the 1995 Detroit Auto Show, and was subsequently introduced to markets in the Middle East, Australia, and in Japan (where it was released in May 1995).

The Avalon used the platform for the Camry, though the extended body dimensions of 4,845 mm in length, 1,785 mm in width, and a wheelbase of 2,720 mm meant that it was classified as a full-size car in the U.S. The newly designed all-aluminum 3-liter, 60degrees V-6, 24-valve engine was small and lightweight, and the transmission was a 4-speed automatic. A 6-seater (with front bench seating and a column shifter) and a 5-seater (with split front seats and a floor shifter) were available.
