Toyota Kirloskar Motors has launched the 9th generation of the Camry in India and has priced it at Rs. 48 lakh (ex-showroom India). It’s a dramatic make over compared to the last generation. The Camry gets a revised front fascia and the grille is now wide and aggressive grille with horizontal slats. The C-shaped LED DRLs to are new and add a new angle to way the sedan looks.
The Camry also gets a set of multi-spoke alloy wheels, sharp creases on the door panels, redesigned LED taillamps and headlamps, and a large panoramic sunroof. But it’s the cabin that gets everyone’s attention.
It gets a touch of modernity which the Camry deserved and this includes a large infotainment system and an all-digital instrument panel. The graphics too are new and there’s also a new steering wheel on offer.
The centre console too has been updated and there are a host of new features on offer including the ADAS suite, 360-degree camera, 9 airbags, parking sensors front and back and even multi-zone climate control.
The Camry gets a 2.5-litre petrol engine with a hybrid system. Combined output is upwards of 230 bhp which is 11 bhp more than before. The sedan comes to India as a CKD unit and will be assembled at the company’s Bidadi plant in Karnataka.
The Camry will go up against the likes of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and even the BMW 3 Series Gran Limousine, both of which are priced higher than the Toyota.
