Toyota has once again elevated the standards of luxury sedans in India with the introduction of the all-new ninth-generation Camry. This elegant and technologically advanced vehicle seamlessly blends style, performance, and efficiency, making it a compelling choice for automotive enthusiasts.
Design and Innovation
The ninth-gen Camry showcases a bold and dynamic design language that translates sophistication. The sleek exterior lines, highlighted by the iconic “hammerhead” front fascia, LED headlights, and redesigned alloy wheels, create a visually striking presence.
The interior cabin is equally impressive, boasting a spacious and luxurious environment. The 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system offer a seamless user experience, complemented by wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
Power & Engine
At the heart of the new Camry lies a powerful and efficient hybrid powertrain. The 2.5-liter petrol engine, paired with Toyota’s fifth-generation Hybrid System (THS 5), delivers a combined power output of 230 bhp.
This advanced hybrid technology not only ensures exhilarating performance but also contributes to remarkable fuel efficiency, with an ARAI-certified figure of 25.49 kmpl. The eCVT gearbox further enhances the driving experience, providing smooth and responsive power delivery.
Safety Features
Toyota has always prioritized safety, and the new Camry is no exception. It comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of advanced safety features, including Toyota Safety Sense 3.0. This cutting-edge ADAS system offers a range of driver-assistive technologies, such as pre-collision assist with pedestrian detection, lane-tracing assist, radar-based cruise control, road-sign assist, and automatic high beam.
Additionally, the car is fortified with nine airbags, parking sensors, and a 360-degree camera, providing an extra layer of protection for occupants.
Pricing
The new Camry is priced at INR 48 lacs (ex-showroom), a INR 1.83 lakh increase over its predecessor. Despite this, it remains significantly more affordable than its closest competitor, the Skoda Superb, priced at INR 54 lakh. It also competes with other luxury sedans like the Audi A4, Mercedes C-Class, and BMW 3 Series Gran Limousine.
