2010 Toyota Camry
I drove the SE variation, which attempts to defy the Camry's practical, unexciting photo with a higher-output four-cylinder, stronger suspension and also cosmetic attachments. Personally, I was stunned by just how little it considered the SE package to truly enhance the base Camry's dull demeanor. As a matter of fact, I favor the SE's showing off great seek to several other midsize sedans, which overall is primarily a dull segment. Although the SE gets by with its appearance, it isn't really a total bundle since there isn't really much benefit in the fun-to-drive division.
The Camry lineup starts with the base design as well as offers LE, SE, XLE as well as Crossbreed trim degrees.
2010 Toyota Camry
What's Changed for 2010
The Camry has actually remained a hot seller even without a few crucial competitive functions, which have been added for 2010: a conventional electronic stability system, six-speed transmission and also optional USB input for regulating, along with having fun, iPods with the stereo. For an assessment of the USB assimilation, which I was not a follower of, see the video to the right. Compare the 2010 version to the 2009 variation here. Rivals like the 2010 Hyundai Sonata, 2010 Honda Accord, 2010 Mazda6 and also 2010 Chevrolet Malibu have integrated one or more of those essential features for a couple of version years.
Base versions have new front designing, including a redesigned grille with chrome trim and also brand-new, bigger fronts lights. The 2010's rhinoplasty is a renovation from the 2009's featureless front styling. SE designs get a blacked-out grille and smoked-headlight-housing treatment. The SE is better-looking than a normal Camry, thanks to enhancements like a lower front spoiler, extra hostile side sills, haze lights, 17-inch five-spoke wheels and twin tailpipes with a black lower bumper.
2 new four-cylinder engines are offered. For the very first time on a Camry, they team with a six-speed automatic transmission to help improve gas economic situation; a six-speed guidebook is conventional. The SE uses a much more powerful engine compared to base, LE and also XLE models; it makes 179 horse power as opposed to 169 hp. The SE makes 21 even more horse power compared to the 2009 SE without hurting gas mileage. As a matter of fact, gas mileage has actually enhanced 1 mpg in city and also highway scores. I balanced 29 mpg during a 400-mile week of primarily freeway driving. That's not far from the automated's 32 mpg freeway score. Both four-cylinders are ranked with gas mileage of 22/32 mpg city/highway; the handbook is ranked at 22/33 mpg.
SE, the "Sporty" Camry
The SE abandons the Camry's typical soft, unobtrusive flight high quality with a sport suspension, causing a flight that's remarkably tight for a Camry. It's never teeth-jarring, however there's most definitely a taut sensation that can avoid conventional Camry buyers. When pressed into corners, the Camry leans and also understeers, not feeling like a positive entertainer. Unique to the SE is a 179-hp version of Toyota's 2.5-liter four-cylinder. When teamed with the brand-new six-speed automatic transmission, this engine made the SE an alert bundle; a 268-hp V-6 is optional. Equipment changes were smooth throughout acceleration with marginal engine sound also during heavy velocity.
A sporty Camry is kind of like the requisite "bad-boy" member of a kid band. No matter exactly how aggressive the attempt, he's still in a child band. Likewise, the SE can't leave its Camry roots. Camry loyalists might be attracted to the SE as a sportier choice, but for the discriminating lover, the 2009 Mazda6 uses a better-executed sport bundle.
Inside as well as Cargo
Right here's where the Camry's comfort-focused roots are an advantage to the SE: The front and rear seats are very comfortable. There's good back support with the eight-way power-adjustable seats, as well as soft seat pillows made my lengthy drives practical, despite having the SE's tight suspension. For a sport model, the SE's pole positions do not have hostile side bolstering to maintain you from moving around, however carving corners isn't really the Camry's strength, so it's not a deal-breaker.
When you go with the SE you lose the folding backseat option; in its area is a facility pass-through. The folding seats and also a half-foot of trunk space are given up for a rear suspension brace that's planned to boost handling. With my marginal cargo-carrying needs the large trunk was suitable sufficient without the folding backseat. Those with more demanding freight demands, especially longer products, need to stay clear of the SE or XLE, which also does not consist of a folding rear seat.
Features and Pricing
For $22,165, the SE includes every one of the suspension, engine and exterior functions-- minus the spoiler, a $200 option. As examined, our SE listed at $27,725, not including the $750 location cost. Options on our test cars and truck consisted of automatic transmission, navigating system with backup camera, USB input, Bluetooth, JBL audio system, moonroof as well as wise vital system with push-button beginning.
A base Camry begins at $19,395, so the SE package is an economical means to liven it up. A base Mazda6 embodies a sporty nature, though, and also begins at $18,450.
Safety and security
The 2010 Camry earned Good rankings-- the very best rating-- in frontal and side crash examinations by the Insurance coverage Institute for Highway Security; it racked up Limited in back protection, which is why the Camry doesn't snatch the IIHS' Top Safety Pick award. The 2009 Honda Accord and also 2010 Ford Combination earn the classification.
For a complete listing of the Camry's safety attributes, see below.
Dependability
The Camry has actually shown winding down integrity in recent model years with typical total ratings by Consumer Records and a brief spell below par for a certain drivetrain. Presently, there typically aren't any predictions for the 2010.
Noteworthy in this sector is the 2010 Ford Fusion's anticipated top reliability score for front-wheel-drive 4- and six-cylinder designs. The Honda Accord's scores are above standard for 4- and six-cylinder models, but they're not as high as the Combination's.
Camry in the Market
Customers need to drive both the Camry SE and other Camry trims to see if the sport-tuned suspension is as well strong for daily commutes. There are a lot of good midsize cars available. While the 2010 Camry steps up its video game, consumers currently have a lot more strong options compared to ever before.
Over the last few years, the competitors has actually overtaken the Camry while its dependability has actually slipped a little bit, making the Camry even more of an ordinary choice than a class-leading midsize sedan.
