2010 Toyota Camry
I drove the SE version, which tries to oppose the Camry's functional, unexciting picture with a higher-output four-cylinder, stronger suspension and cosmetic add-ons. In person, I was amazed by exactly how little it considered the SE bundle to truly boost the base Camry's plain attitude. As a matter of fact, I favor the SE's showing off great want to several other midsize cars, which in its entirety is mainly a boring segment. Although the SE manages with its look, it isn't a total bundle because there isn't really much incentive in the fun-to-drive department.
The Camry schedule starts with the base design and also provides LE, SE, XLE and Hybrid trim levels.
2010 Toyota Camry Le
Just what's Transformed for 2010
The Camry has actually continued to be a record-breaker even without a few vital competitive functions, which have actually been included for 2010: a basic digital security system, six-speed transmission and optional USB input for managing, as well as playing, iPods through the stereo. For an assessment of the USB assimilation, which I was not a fan of, see the video clip to the right. Compare the 2010 version to the 2009 variation below. Rivals like the 2010 Hyundai Sonata, 2010 Honda Accord, 2010 Mazda6 as well as 2010 Chevrolet Malibu have actually included several of those crucial features for a few version years.
Base models have brand-new front designing, including a revamped grille with chrome trim and new, larger fronts lights. The 2010's rhinoplasty is an enhancement from the 2009's featureless front styling. SE designs obtain a blacked-out grille as well as smoked-headlight-housing treatment. The SE is better-looking than a regular Camry, thanks to enhancements like a lower front looter, more aggressive side sills, haze lights, 17-inch five-spoke wheels and twin tailpipes with a black lower bumper.
Two brand-new four-cylinder engines are offered. For the first time on a Camry, they team with a six-speed automatic transmission in order to help improve fuel economy; a six-speed guidebook is common. The SE makes use of a more effective engine than base, LE and also XLE models; it makes 179 horse power as opposed to 169 hp. The SE makes 21 even more horsepower compared to the 2009 SE without injuring gas mileage. In fact, gas mileage has really enhanced 1 mpg in city and also freeway ratings. I balanced 29 mpg during a 400-mile week of primarily freeway driving. That's not far from the automatic's 32 mpg highway score. Both four-cylinders are rated with gas mileage of 22/32 mpg city/highway; the guidebook is ranked at 22/33 mpg.
SE, the "Stylish" Camry
The SE deserts the Camry's typical soft, inconspicuous flight high quality with a sport suspension, leading to a flight that's surprisingly tight for a Camry. It's by no means teeth-jarring, yet there's absolutely a taut feeling that can delay traditional Camry customers. When pushed right into corners, the Camry leans and understeers, not feeling like a confident entertainer. One-of-a-kind to the SE is a 179-hp variation of Toyota's 2.5-liter four-cylinder. When teamed with the new six-speed automatic transmission, this engine made the SE an alert plan; a 268-hp V-6 is optional. Equipment modifications were smooth throughout acceleration with minimal engine sound even throughout hefty acceleration.
A flashy Camry is kind of like the requisite "bad-boy" member of a child band. No matter just how aggressive the effort, he's still in a child band. Also, the SE can't escape its Camry roots. Camry followers may be drawn to the SE as a sportier option, but also for the differentiating fanatic, the 2009 Mazda6 uses a better-executed sport plan.
Inside and also Cargo
Right here's where the Camry's comfort-focused origins are an advantage to the SE: The front and back seats are exceptionally comfortable. There excels back sustain with the eight-way power-adjustable seats, and also soft seat paddings made my long drives manageable, even with the SE's rigid suspension. For a sporting activity model, the SE's pole positions don't have hostile side reinforcing to maintain you from gliding around, however carving corners isn't really the Camry's strong point, so it's not a deal-breaker.
When you select the SE you shed the folding backseat option; in its location is a facility pass-through. The folding seats as well as a half-foot of trunk room are given up for a back suspension support that's intended to boost handling. With my minimal cargo-carrying requirements the huge trunk was suitable sufficient without the folding backseat. Those with even more requiring freight demands, especially longer items, need to stay clear of the SE or XLE, which likewise doesn't include a folding rear seat.
Functions and also Pricing
For $22,165, the SE includes all of the suspension, engine and outside attributes-- minus the spoiler, a $200 alternative. As checked, our SE listed at $27,725, not consisting of the $750 location charge. Choices on our test auto consisted of transmission, navigating system with backup cam, USB input, Bluetooth, JBL audio system, moonroof and clever vital system with push-button start.
A base Camry begins at $19,395, so the SE plan is an affordable way to liven it up. A base Mazda6 embodies a sporty nature, though, and starts at $18,450.
Safety
The 2010 Camry gained Excellent ratings-- the very best rating-- in frontal and also side crash examinations by the Insurance Institute for Freeway Security; it racked up Low in back defense, which is why the Camry does not capture the IIHS' Top Safety Pick honor. The 2009 Honda Accord as well as 2010 Ford Blend gain the designation.
For a complete checklist of the Camry's safety and security attributes, see here.
Integrity
The Camry has shown winding down dependability in current design years with ordinary overall scores by Consumer Records and a short spell below par for a certain drivetrain. Currently, there aren't any kind of predictions for the 2010.
Noteworthy in this segment is the 2010 Ford Fusion's predicted top dependability ranking for front-wheel-drive four- as well as six-cylinder versions. The Honda Accord's ratings are above average for 4- and also six-cylinder designs, yet they're not as high as the Combination's.
Camry out there
Customers must drive both the Camry SE and various other Camry trims to see if the sport-tuned suspension is as well firm for daily commutes. There are a great deal of good midsize sedans out there. While the 2010 Camry steps up its video game, customers currently have much more solid alternatives than ever before.
In the last few years, the competitors has actually caught up with the Camry while its integrity has actually slipped a bit, making the Camry even more of an average option compared to a class-leading midsize car.
