Toyota Camry Review
Exterior
The first thing that catches the eye when taking a look at the brand-new sedan is the firm broad position that arises from the low center of gravity.

Moving over to what makes the brand-new four-door much more psychological and also provides it a sporty and also high end image, Toyota utilized its Lexus brand name as inspiration for the Camry. Up front, we could see extra aggressive headlamps that are fairly much like those seen on the brand-new Lexus LX, minus the lower LED strip that offers the latter a Z-shaped design. The grille is wider and also larger, as well as though it's nowhere near as enormous as Lexus' "Pin" aspect, the lower area is sportier than before.

While the outward bound Camry's interior is a collection of straight lines disturbed only by the center pile, the brand-new sedan is an extra organic suggestion on the in.
The new dashboard, which really feels contemporary and extra upscale compared to in the past, was designed with 2 important points in mind. Initially, it's supposed to provide the motorist the feeling that he's actually sitting in a cars. This is accomplished with a cockpit-type compartment with the gauges and also the center pile angled toward the chauffeur. This is additional aided by the unique character line that flows below the tool cluster as well as bisects the center console, hence separating the gear shifter from the guest side. On the other hand, the traveler gets a different ambience, highlighted by a feeling of visibility as well as the soft-touch surfaces as well as the veneer in the dashboard.
Drivetrain
Although it was initially believed that Toyota will phase out the age-old 3.5-liter V-6 and opt for a turbocharged four-cylinder rather, the midsize sedan continues to use a naturally aspirated six-cylinder. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder was likewise kept, as was the hybrid drivetrain based upon the very same four-pot system.
Nonetheless, all 3 drivetrains have actually been redesigned with a big concentrate on improving gas economy.

There's big news in the suspension department too, where the brand-new TNGA style allowed Toyota to use a sportier configuration. Especially, the Camry flights on a brand-new double wishbone rear suspension system that provides the framework more receptive handling as well as precise steering, while additionally supplying a comfortable trip around the city. But the suspension configuration is the only point in charge of the flashy handling and boosted trip high quality. Toyota made use of significantly much more ultra-high-tensile steel in this new chassis, hence enhancing the Camry's general rigidity. Toyota is so certain regarding the Camry's new sporty flight that went as far as to say that chauffeurs "will see the significant enhancements within the very first couple of secs of driving."
