India has seen the arrival of the ninth-generation Toyota Camry, which retails for Rs 48 lakh (ex-showroom). Over a year ago, this most recent version of Toyota’s high-end sedan debuted in foreign markets. One of its best features is its economical petrol-hybrid drivetrain.
Toyota Camry: Exterior
The TNGA-K platform is used to build the ninth-generation Toyota Camry. Its face receives Toyota’s “hammerhead” style, which includes daytime running lights, a slender LED headlamp, and a sharp snout. The bumpers have an almost Lexus-like anvil form, the “T” emblem has been positioned higher than previously, and a slender grille nearly links the headlights. Redesigned 18-inch wheels, new C-shaped LED tail lights, and a dramatic new character line along the side complete the design elements.

The new Camry has a revamped dashboard design with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster next to a 12.3-inch touchscreen for infotainment duties, offering wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also packs a nine-speaker JBL sound system, a 10-inch head-up display, and digital key functionality.

Controls for the back seats’ ability to recline are located in the center console. Toyota provides three-zone auto climate control, ventilated 10-way powered front seats, and a sunroof with a retractable sunshade for increased comfort.
Standard equipment includes Toyota’s Safety Sense 3.0 suite and autonomous driving assistance system (ADAS). In addition to radar-based cruise control, lane-tracing assistance, road-sign assistance, and pre-collision assistance with pedestrian detection, the system also has an automatic high beam for improved night vision. A 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors, and nine airbags are further features.

The Toyota fifth-generation Hybrid System (THS 5) is mated to a 2.5-liter petrol engine in the new Camry. With 230 hp overall, this upgraded configuration is 12hp more powerful than the previous model. It is claimed that fuel economy has increased by 30%. The Camry’s eCVT gearbox is used by other hybrid vehicles in the family.
