Exterior

Toyota insists that the current-generation Camry has crisper, bolder, extra upscale styling than its predecessor. With a 107.1-inch wheelbase as well as measuring 189.2 inches long generally, the Camry has to do with the very same size as the Honda Accord. The flashy SE car features haze lamps, a rear spoiler and a black grille with chrome trim.

Despite the fact that Honda provides its Accord in both coupe and also car types, the Camry comes just in a four-door body style. Toyota's Camry Solara sports car, which was redesigned for 2004, has different styling and is treated as a separate version.

Inside

The Camry's interior space is sufficient for four grownups as well as appropriate for 5. The driver's seat has enough fore and aft traveling to accommodate tall as well as brief individuals. Basic 60/40-split back seatbacks supplement the tons quantity of the trunk, which holds 16.7 cubic feet of cargo.

Additional equipment on the XLE model includes power pole positions, heated mirrors, automated climate control, an engine immobilizer/alarm, keyless entrance and also a back sunshade. The sportier SE car obtains distinct sport textile furniture, brushed-chrome indoor trim, a leather-wrapped wheel and gearshift lever, as well as sporting activity assesses.

Under the Hood

Safety

Side-impact airbags for the front seats and also side curtain-type airbags are common in the XLE as well as optional in the other trim levels. The driver-side front airbag deploys in three stages. Antilock brakes are basic on the XLE as well as on versions geared up with the V-6 engine and also are offered as optional tools on four-cylinder LE as well as SE sedans.

Driving Perceptions

If the Camry has actually been slammed for anything, it's been for dull designing. A lot of Camry consumers typically aren't seeking fancy appearances yet instead Toyota's track record for dependability, high quality and exceptional resale value.

All the desirable Camry qualities are below, and they're probably much better now compared to ever. Owners get a happily comfy ride, ample indoor space, joyous quietness and also moderately energised efficiency. Acceleration gets to well past the appropriate mark with the four-cylinder engine, which has to do with as silent as versions powered by the V-6.

Just a little fine in ride convenience is evident in the flashy SE, which promises rather tauter handling than various other Camry models; however the distinctions are less than significant. The manual transmission in the Camry does admirably, as well as its bar clicks crisply via the equipments.
