2015 Toyota Camry
The rub response is because it can. With an R&D budget claimed to be $1 million per hour, the world's largest cars and truck firm can afford to shower its mid-size family members sedan with monetary love, following CEO Akio Toyoda's guileless regulation to "build better vehicles." There are six other reasons. Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Mazda, Nissan, as well as Volkswagen all provide superb mid-size alternatives to the compulsively withdrawn Camry. In August, Honda loaded its shotgun with excess stock and also generous rewards to blow up out 51,075 Accords, defeating Camry sales by 7032 devices.

Toyota Wants to Enthusiast ... It Up
So only three years after the last complete redesign, Toyota has significantly fluffed and also buffed the Camry to restore the interest of faithful clients and to (hopefully) draw fresh employees. The 2015 edition we drove on the Big Island of Hawaii lives halfway in between a regular midcycle facelift and a clean-sheet overhaul. Every outside panel is brand-new except the roof. Including 22 area welds in the cowl and also around the door apertures enhances the rigidity of the unibody. The previous base L version is dead, and there are more variations with an "S" in their name to commemorate Toyota's exploration that also Camry buyers could be delighted by even more assertive driving dynamics. Cost-conscious insides have actually been upgraded with even more soft surface areas, better describing, and modern electronic equipment. Framework systems-- steering, brakes, suspension-- obtain minor adjustments aimed at much better flight and also really feel. The one location getting no interest is powertrains: The Camry's 2.5-liter four-cylinder, 3.5-liter V-6, and also crossbreed propulsion system-- all which are trustworthy and also proven, if not interesting-- carry on without modification.
Two front-fascia layouts attract eyes to this long-ignored design. There's a five-bar treatment for models with an L in their name and a honeycomb maw for those coded S. All relative have refined hood folds as well as upper as well as lower personality folds in their side surface areas. Light therapies-- particularly the running-light slashes decorating the lower front corners-- verge on racy. The one little chicanery is a fake quarter-window stuck onto each C-pillar. Actually, Hyundai and Toyota are heading in contrary styling directions. The 2015 Hyundai Sonata has backed off some on strong outside style equally as the Camry molts its dull skin.
Inside, the Camry overtakes the affordable-mid-size-sedan times. The intent is to provide nice-to-touch, easy-to-use surfaces throughout. Upper trim levels get French seams; all automobiles receive additional soft trim, clearly labeled knobs and buttons, as well as a rearview camera. Just about the base LEs get a 4.2-inch TFT display in between the collection dials for vehicle driver info, navigation guidelines, as well as alerting messages. The list of available safety equipment now includes lane-departure caution, automated brake help, a blind-spot screen with back web traffic alert, and radar-based active cruise control. Although you do not have to browse to find some recurring shiny, difficult, black plastic (there's some at the base of the windscreen, where it creates glare), the Camry's brand-new inside is a deserving upgrade, particularly taking into account the moderate cost increases.
Seniors have controlled the Camry client base, however a minimum of there's a collective effort right here to welcome them to the details age. The Entune multimedia system includes a 6.1- or 7.0-inch touch screen with voice recognition, Bluetooth streaming, a USB port, and also a substantial checklist of applications. By touching the suitable symbol, you can reset the clock or sync your mobile phone. The leading 10-speaker, 586-watt JBL stereo is means also hip for seniors thanks to much less boominess as well as enhanced frequency balance. The niftiest tool that's optional in a number of models and criterion in a couple of is a nonslip surface located in the facility console that utilizes Qi modern technology to wirelessly charge compatible mobile devices. Take that, Honda Accord!
Driving the New(- ish) Camry
Thanks to the even more stiff unibody and also 30-percent more undercarpet audio deadening, also the base Camry is a smooth, quiet runner. All front container seats have wrapping back-rests as well as grippy treatments resistant to side slip. Life in back is well free of tire and also wind sound, as well as the back seat accommodates three adults comfortably. Backrests divided and also layer also on the hybrid to broaden the roomy trunk. All powertrains are respectful and fairly well acted though doing not have in verve. If passing other cars and trucks gets on your agenda, skip the 178-hp four-cylinder, as it has a tendency to leave you hanging much also long in the oncoming-traffic lane. The drone that plagues Toyota Priuses is pleasantly soft in all 3 Camry hybrid trim degrees.
Offer the Camry's engineering group credit scores for holding weight gain to less than 100 extra pounds by countering content enhancements with lighter window regulators and also windshield-wiping devices. Streamlining the trunk-hinge system and also integrating 2 cargo-floor mats into a solitary covering likewise saved a few extra pounds. We expect velocity and also stopping efficiency to nearly match the outgoing Camry's. In other words, performance suffices ... for your moms and dads. The manual change mode won't hold equipments at redline, although in S versions it does match revs throughout downshifts.
Despite slightly bigger wheel tracks, a half-inch gain in the width of the base wheels, as well as stiffer base-level front springs, there's no visible gain in managing to report. The moderate suspension retune was mainly targeted at improving the trip quality over the bumps that are never ever tough to discover around Toyota's Ann Arbor, Michigan, technical facility. All Camrys ride on all-season radials that prioritize low rolling resistance, high mileage, and great damp as well as snow grip over dry-pavement grip. The XSE plan, that includes 18-inch wheels and tires, is comparable to it gets. Below, the guiding effort climbs somewhat off-center, though additional effort develop and also road feel are tragically lacking. While there's even more hold than with the 16- and 17-inch wheels and also body control is reasonable, the front tires shout 'slow down!' when you get frisky on a twisty roadway. Brakes have actually been improved with a new two-stage booster, but it's adjusted for even more pedal travel compared to we like for optimum modulation.
Hybrid consumers can take advantage of the brand-new more assertive Camry outside design by choosing the SE edition. While they're restricted to 17-inch rolling stock, at the very least they benefit from far better front-to-rear equilibrium thanks to the weight of the 1.6-kWh battery pack detected in the trunk. For several Camry kinds, the crossbreed is the wise choice thanks to its mixed mileage score (41 mpg in the LE, 40 in the SE and also XLE) and also velocity that defeats the 2.5-liter four-cylinder.
Toyota has actually infused a lot of goodness into its most mainstream version. The new Camry must hold up well for another few years against the mid-size affordable problem, as well as the relentless crossover onslaught. The nod that the XSE V-6 edition makes in the sports-sedan direction is additionally encouraging. When dedicated customers see and also feel this brand-new design, it's possible they'll find the auto fanatic's wavelength and look for or require an extra severe driving device when Toyota navigates to the following full Camry redesign.
