2012 Toyota Camry
The five-seat sedan is available in L, LE, XLE as well as sport-tuned SE trims. A four-cylinder engine is common, with a V-6 optional on the SE as well as XLE. I evaluated the much-improved Camry Hybrid independently. The new Camry won't take place sale till October, yet I drove most versions at a media sneak peek.
2012 Toyota Camry For Sale
That Thing's New?
Toyota describes the Camry as all-new-- seventh generation, upgraded inside out-- but the designing suggests a milder update. The vehicle's length, size as well as wheelbase stay the very same. The fronts lights look more improved than reimagined. The boomerang taillights include something fresh, however the side account smacks of the old Camry.
The Camry SE has sporty body treatments and also 17- or 18-inch alloy wheels, versus 16-inch steel wheels on the base version. Better incorporated compared to the outward bound Camry SE-- whose slapped-on expansions had all the makings of a discount rate nose surgery-- it's the clearest redesign of the number, if you could follow its face. I see the late-2000s Acura TL, some Mazda6 and also a lot of woodchuck.
Revamped Interior
The overhauled cabin really feels richer, if much less constant, compared to in the past. Dressed with stitched fake leather and a chrome-flanked, increased facility panel, the dash has great deals of high end eye sweet. The quality surpasses view alone-- the environment manages feel better and also the gearshift crisper moving from Park to Drive.
I prefer the last Camry's soft seats to the new variation's, which are a touch firmer. Still, the motorist's seat has great modification range, and also the facility console doesn't encroach on hip or knee area. Though the rear seat is not as cavernous as a Volkswagen Passat's or Honda Accord's, it fits adults great, with excellent clearance and also a hump-free floor. The Camry XLE sheds its lying rear seat, but all trims obtain a 60/40-split folding rear seat. The previous generation's SE and also XLE backseats didn't fold.
A few locations obtain the short shrift: affordable rear door panels, a worn headliner, no more one-touch power windows all over. On the whole, though, cabin quality really feels affordable, if short of the Kia Optima as well as Passat. As well as the Camry's functionality-- huge storage cubbies, exposure unconfined by a descending roofline or thick window pillars-- need to draw purchasers.
Trunk quantity procedures 15.4 cubic feet, up from in 2015's 15.0 cubic feet (14.5 in some trims) as well as defeating the Accord. If trunk room is high on your list, take a look at the Hyundai Sonata as well as Ford Fusion. Both cars and trucks top 16 cubic feet.
The Gripe is Grasp
The prior generation Camry fasted: qualified with the 178-horsepower four-cylinder, muscular with the 268-hp V-6. That rollovers for 2012, along with a 2 mpg renovation for every variation in mixed city/highway mileage, inning accordance with EPA quotes. At 28 mpg with the four-cylinder and 25 mpg with the 6, the Camry leads all competitors but the Sonata. Credit score Toyota for slimming most variations down more than 100 pounds, tweaking the drivetrain, including fuel-saving electrical power steering and also outfitting the Camry with lower-rolling-resistance tires.
I'm sold on 4 of the five modifications. Like a lot of family-car automatics, the Camry's six-speed discovers multi-gear downshifts, but it upshifts smoothly and also normally kicks down quickly enough. (Toyota has actually dropped in 2014's stick shift.) What's even more, the Camry outsteers its precursor. I drove 2011 as well as 2012 Camry LEs back-to-back, as well as the old automobile's comatose guiding feedback and freeway discomposure have lessened. The 2012 Camry's wheel still goes numb during fast lane modifications-- the Accord as well as Blend maneuver better-- however it feels more positive than it did.
The tires, nonetheless, are anything yet. The Camry LE has Michelin Energy Saver Green-X all-seasons, whose lower rolling resistance enhances gas mileage. Alas, it comes with a high price. Push the accelerator, and also the front wheels spin away. On sweeping curves, the tires break from the line early, checked only when the common electronic security system calls order. The outward bound Camry used common Michelin Energy MXV4s. Where they stuck, the Power Savers stray. Most awful of all, I observed this after hours of moderate driving with temperatures in the 80s. On a blustery winter months day, I are afraid the Power Savers would get on also worse.
The Camry XLE as well as four-cylinder SE wear 17-inch Michelin Primacy MXV4s. They, also, lack much grasp. The V-6 SE has 18s as well as Michelin Primacy MXM4s, which-- ultimately!-- play good. They match the SE, which improves on its discordant predecessor. The last SE managed as well improperly to warrant its choppy flight. I drove the two generations back-to-back, as well as the brand-new one leans more yet handles better-- sharper balance, elegant wandering, better steering responses. I just wish Toyota had worked similar magic with the suspension. It doesn't jar as a lot via craters and also ruts, but tiny bumps are really felt in a fatiguing, ever-present rhythm. Some rivals-- the Suzuki Kizashi in particular-- locate better ground in between trip and handling. The Camry SE has boosted, but it's not there yet.
Common Camry trims ride a touch firmer than before, yet general convenience still thrills. So do the brakes. Toyota swapped in a little larger four-wheel discs for 2012, as well as the straight reaction enhances the Camry norm.
Safety, Characteristic & Prices
As of this writing, the Camry has yet to be crash-tested. There are 10 standard airbags. As required of all 2012 designs, an electronic stability system and also anti-skid brakes are standard. A blind spot caution system is optional on the XLE. Toyota has yet to value the vehicle, yet officials told me the popular LE model will not stray much from its 2011 rate-- $22,700 with the automated-- as well as the cost of the SE as well as XLE "will certainly be significantly lower" than their precursors. Those trims were around $24,000 and $26,500, specifically, with automatic transmissions.
Do not expect to find a Camry L easily. Toyota claims the base trim will comprise less than 5 percent of all sales-- mainly to industrial fleets, not consumers. Standard functions include cooling, cruise ship control, power accessories, Bluetooth and also an iPod-compatible stereo. Mainline Camry trims include steering-wheel audio controls, remote keyless entrance and also a touch-screen stereo with Bluetooth audio streaming. Inspect all the alternatives, and also the Camry could have heated up leather furniture, power front seats, a moonroof, JBL audio, 2 separate navigation systems (see the photos to contrast) and Toyota's Entune multimedia system, which we detail right here.
Camry in the marketplace
Toyota chose brief conclusions with the brand-new Camry: Squeeze out another 2 mpg, fine-tune the steering and also handling, improve the brakes. Some buyers could desire the carmaker had actually opted to toss a styling long ball, as Kia as well as Hyundai did. Toyota can miss out on some new purchasers since the redesign looks also light.
However I'm not exactly sure the Camry needed a designing overhaul; besides, its predecessor had actually matured well. The carmaker has to recover the nameplate's credibility for bulletproof reliability, which has actually sunk to just ALRIGHT in recent years. The inside is a couple of flubs except family-car excellence, as well as the skateboard tires mar an or else fine-tuned driving experience. However the sensibilities stay, as well as on the whole the Camry has actually boosted dramatically. It continues to be, more than ever, a poster automobile for your right mind.
