2002 Toyota Camry
Toyota intends to retain that No. 1 slot with a sedan that's quieter and also bigger inside, as well as a wheelbase that is 2 inches longer compared to in the past. Therefore, programmers have "broadened its allure by developing its emphasis," claims Don Esmond, basic manager of the Toyota Department. At the same time, he states it's important to "never ever forget why completely satisfied Camry owners keep returning time and again."
An all-new 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that develops 157 horse power-- a 15 percent increase in power-- is anticipated to go into greater than three-fourths of the cars. A five-speed-manual transmission is basic with the four-cylinder engine, and also a four-speed automated is optional. Camry's geared up with the 3.0-liter V-6 engine come just with the transmission.
Toyota has lowered costs, added standard equipment as well as modified the Camry schedule. The low-end CE model is gone, so crank-down home windows are no longer readily available. Models now include the conventional LE, high end XLE as well as a stylish new SE with different suspension adjusting and also 16-inch sporting activity tires. A navigating system is optional for the first time, and also flexible pedals are scheduled to become readily available in January 2002.
Toyota's two-door Camry Solara sports car and exchangeable, and the Avalon sedan, are built on the very same front-drive platform as the prior-generation Camry. Many Camrys offered in the United States have actually been made at Toyota's Georgetown, Ky., plant, as well as the new model declares 85 percent residential material.

Exterior
Toyota asserts that the 2002 Camry has crisper, bolder, more upscale styling that is "a step from sensible to sensual," inning accordance with Task Supervisor Dan Hargitt. Yet the total appearance hasn't transformed drastically from the 4th generation. Two inches longer compared to earlier designs, the 107.1-inch wheelbase is a hair longer compared to that of the Accord, and at 189.2 inches long generally, the Camry is about the same length as its Honda opponent. The stylish SE sedan showcases a power outage grille, fog lights as well as a rear looter.
The Accord comes as a sports car and also sedan, yet the Camry remains readily available as a four-door car only. The Camry Solara sports car and convertible have various designing and also are treated as separate versions, and also the Solara version will certainly not be redesigned till later on.

Toyota declares that rear legroom is 40 millimeters more than in the past as well as guest hip points are greater. Space is adequate for 4 grownups as well as appropriate for 5, and the vehicle driver's seat has enough fore-aft travel to fit high as well as brief people. Common 60/40-split back seatbacks supplement the tons volume of the trunk, which currently holds 16.7 cubic feet of cargo.

Safety and security
Curtain-type air bags are standard on the Camry XLE as well as are signed up with by side-impact air bags for the front seats. Front airbags release in 3 phases, depending on collision conditions. Antilock brakes are conventional on the XLE as well as V-6 versions as well as are offered as a choice on four-cylinder LE and SE cars.
Driving Impressions
If the Camry has been slammed for anything in the past, it's been boring styling. However, boosting design isn't really what creates more than 400,000 customers annually to drive one home from the dealer. What most Camry consumers look for is Toyota's reputation for dependability and high quality, along with excellent resale worth. When it's time to sell the Camry, somebody will aspire to get yours as a secondhand design.
Even though its appearance has actually made no gigantic leaps into fresh region, the new Camry's form is appealing. All the other Camry attributes are right here, and also if anything, they are far better than ever. Proprietors still get a happily comfy ride, adequate indoor space, euphoric tranquility and also fairly energised performance. Velocity, actually, reaches well past the acceptable mark with the four-cylinder engine, which is almost as quiet as the V-6. No wonder many purchasers are content with the four-cylinder designs.
Little charge in ride convenience appears in the sporty new SE sedan, which guarantees a little tauter handling compared to other Camry trims. Yet distinctions are less than dramatic. Followers of manual transmissions will be pleased to discover that the manual-transmission Camry carries out admirably, its lever clicking crisply with the gears without a care in the world.
