Don't buy your next car before you've had a look at our annual new car list. We have compiled an array of exciting new cars with detailed info on what's coming and when.
Toyota has played it safe with the Camry’s styling for far too long. However, the 2012 Camry is a whole lot more interesting than before. The lines have a hint of Lexus to them and the interiors are far more luxurious too. There’s more space on the inside and the rear seat is really comfortable. As expected, Toyota will replace the current Camry’s 2.4-litre VVT-i engine with the newer 2.5-litre VVT-i motor. Power output increases by 11bhp to 178bhp and expectantly the Camry also feels a lot more eager than before.
Other markets get the option of a six-speed manual gearbox though the Indian car may only come with a six-speed automatic transmission. The Camry clearly has the Honda Accord in its crosshairs. The big news is that Toyota plans to assemble the Camry from CKD kits at its Bidadi plant which translates to competitive pricing too. The lack of a diesel engine will remain the Camry’s Achilles’ heel, though.
Factfile:
Engine: 2.5-litre-petrol
Power/Torque: 178bhp/23.5kgm
Kerb weight: NA
L/W/H: 4825/1825/2775mm
Expected: October 2012
