The 2024 Toyota Camry Breaks Cover: All-New Design, All-Hybrid Power
TNGA-K platform from its predecessor, the new Camry presents a dynamic facelift with a Priusinspired front-end design, complemented by striking tail-lights. The interior receives a major overhaul, featuring a rectangular theme for a contemporary and spacious feel.
3. Technological Advancements: The cabin boasts a redesigned dashboard, integrating Toyota’s next-generation wide-screen infotainment interface. The updated connected services, wireless smartphone mirroring, and additional USB ports enhance the driving experience.
4. Model Grades: The North American market will witness four model grades—LE, XLE, SE, and XSE. The latter two, emphasizing a sportier appeal, showcase distinctive exterior designs with aggressive air ducts, intakes, and other sporttuned elements.
5. Performance: A newly-developed 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol-electric hybrid powertrain will power all variants, providing an “estimated” 168kW in front-wheel-drive and 173kW in all-wheel-drive confgurations. The elimination of the V6 engine underscores the brand’s commitment to hybrid technology.
6. Suspension and Dynamics: The Camry’s suspension system undergoes a “retuned” setup for sharper dynamics and improved ride comfort. SE and XSE variants will receive a unique ‘sport-tuned’ suspension to match their athletic persona.
7. Safety and Tech Features: Standard across the range are automatic LED headlights, alloy wheels, keyless entry and start, dual-zone climate control, four drive modes, and the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 safety suite. Higher grades offer advanced features such as a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment system.
8. Australian Perspective: Toyota Australia’s vice-president, Sean Hanley, highlights the brand’s commitment to a “multi-pathway approach to helping customers lower their carbon footprint through electrifcation.” Anticipating strong demand for the Camry’s distinctive design and ecofriendly features, Hanley expects the new model to reinforce the brand’s leadership in the mid-size sedan segment.
As anticipation builds for the 2024 Toyota Camry’s arrival, its advanced features and hybrid power signal a signifcant leap forward in the iconic sedan’s evolution.
