Toyota Kirloskar Motor on Tuesday launched a new facelift model of its popular sedan, Camry, in India. This new generation Camry is available in just one feature-loaded variant, which has been priced at Rs 48 lakh ex-showroom.
The price of the new Camry is Rs 1.83 lakh more than the previous model. Earlier, the price of the Camry was Rs 46.17 lakh (ex-showroom). Customers can book this new sedan through the company’s official website or nearest dealership and its delivery has also started.
How is the design
This is the ninth generation Toyota Camry, which has been introduced with a new design, improved interior layout, advanced features, updated powertrain, and modern safety features. The new Camry has a next-generation hybrid system, which the company has claimed to give a mileage of 25 kilometers per liter.
Toyota Camry is built on the TNGA-K platform, which is also used in the company’s other luxury cars like Lexus ES, Lexus RX, Alphard, and Sienna. The design of the new Camry is based on the company’s new design theme, giving it a futuristic and stylish look.
The front of the car has an angular C-shaped DRL with thin LED headlights. Between the two headlights is a dual-tone grille with a honeycomb pattern, which is painted in body color. The bumper has also been given a new look with a sharp bonnet crease and air duct. The side profile has 18-inch alloy wheels, while the rear has C-shaped LED tail lights and ‘Camry’ badging. Apart from this, the integrated spoiler on the boot lid and black-finished rear bumper make it more attractive.
Equipped with a hybrid engine
The Camry has a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder petrol engine, which is paired with the fifth-generation hybrid system THS 5. It includes a 100kW permanent magnet synchronous motor with a lithium-ion battery. This engine and motor together generate 230hp of power and 221Nm of peak torque. An e-CVT gearbox has been added to it, which gives it a smooth driving experience.
The new Camry runs on a front-wheel drive (FWD) system and has three driving modes – Eco, Normal, and Sport. Equipped with Advanced Driving Assist System (ADAS) features, this car is not only powerful but can also prove to be an excellent option in terms of safety.
