The 9th-gen Toyota Camry will reach showrooms in the United States in 2024.
Toyota has taken the wraps off the 9th-generation Camry. The popular sedan will only be available with a hybrid powertrain in either front-wheel or all-wheel drive configurations.
The Toyota Camry is powered by a 2.5-litre 4-cylinder petrol hybrid paired with an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (eCVT). The front-wheel drive version gets two electric motors with a combined output of 222 BHP. The all-wheel drive version gets an additional motor-generator on the rear axle, bumping the overall output to 229 BHP.
The new Camry is based on the same TNGA-K platform as the outgoing model but features a revised suspension setup. Toyota claims that the changes have made the car more responsive and agile.
Toyota has also made significant changes to the Camry’s exterior design. While the massive trapezoidal grille has been retained, the nose section has been redesigned and now features sleek U-shaped LED signature lights.
Inside, the Camry gets an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster, while higher variants get 12.3-inch displays as well as a 10-inch head-up display. Other features include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging, and a 9-speaker JBL audio system.
The Camry is also equipped with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, which includes safety features like adaptive cruise control, lane-departure assist, road sign assist, automatic high beams, blind-spot monitoring, pedestrian detection and rear cross-traffic alert. Traffic jam assist, front cross-traffic alert, lane-change assist, panoramic view monitor, and front and rear parking assist with automatic braking are available as part of an optional package on higher trims.
