Toyota released details of the upcoming next-generation Camry that has a few surprises.

The all-hybrid range has a new look design, better handling and extra features. The biggest change will be that all Camrys will use the latest 2.5-litre fifth-generation hybrid-electric (HEV) powertrain. It combines the engine’s output with lighter and more compact electric motors, providing more power and extra pep. The new system is made more economical by reducing revs at lower speeds, and providing extra power from the hybrid’s battery. Not only is it using less fuel, the sedan has better acceleration, and more torque.

Handling has been improved with retuned suspension that improves responsiveness, stability and over-all on-road comfort.

Camry appeals to a wide range of drivers, including LGBTI buyers. The sedan is big enough for a family, but small enough for just one. The hybrid economy appeals to eco-gays, and leather upholstery speaks for itself, right?

Australian Camrys come exclusively from Japan, and is expected in showrooms in the second half of next year. Toyota Australia Vice President Sales, Marketing & Franchise Operations Sean Hanley said the global adoption of hybrid-electric technology for Camry reflected overwhelming consumer demand, including in Australia. “Moving exclusively to a hybrid Camry clearly signals the ongoing success of Toyota’s multi-pathway approach to helping customers lower their carbon footprint through electrification while leaving no-one behind,” Mr Hanley said.

ABOVE: Next generation Toyota Camry – an all hybrid range

“Beyond the broad appeal of hybrid technology under the bonnet, we anticipate strong demand for the new Camry with its distinctive design, impeccable craftsmanship and premium interiors along ith new-generation advances to dynamics, safety and convenience,” he said.

The new generation Camry’s new look has Toyota’s new “hammerhead” grille and slim LED headlights, daytime running lamps and taillights.

The interior has always been decent quality but has been overly conservative. The new look promises to be an open concept with “refined materials that endow each of the model’s three grades with their own personality and style.”

Convenience features include standard:

  • smart key with push-button start
  • dual-zone automatic climate control
  • wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • an emergency SOS button
  • 24/7 automatic collision notification
  • stolen-vehicle tracking

The “Hey Toyota” Intelligent Assistant follows other brands to give drivers the ability to find directions, change audio settings, climate control temperatures and other finger-free features.

The various models (depending on grade) will have:

  • 17-inch or 18-inch alloy wheels
  • 7-inch or 12.3-inch digital multi-information display in the instrument cluster
  • 8-inch or 12.3-inch multimedia touchscreen.
  • head-up display
  • JBL premium audio
  • leather-accented interior
  • paddle shifters
  • Qi wireless charging pad
  • panoramicview monitor
  • front and rear parking assist with automatic braking
  • standard blind-spot monitor
  • rear cross-traffic alert
  • pre-collision safety system with pedestrian detection
  • full-speed dynamic radar cruise control
  • lane-departure alert with steering assis
  • lane-trace assist
  • road-sign assist
  • automatic high beam

Camry has been a favourite with buyers for decades, and as the world transitions from fossil fuels and passenger cars, we are looking at what will possibly be Toyota’s last new petrol-powered passenger car. Toyota has steadfastly refused to acknowledge a world-wide push to electric-only powertrains. Whether it is because of their investment in hybrid technology, or Japan’s lagging renewable sector, we can expect fewer fossil-fuelled Toyota news releases.
