2013 toyota Camry Xle

In many kinds, the Camry is a silent, smooth-riding sedan with couple of thrills or issues, however the 2013 SE with an uplevel V-6 showed just the Camry's imperfections - 2013 Toyota Camry Xle.

The Camry was completely upgraded for the 2012 model year and stays relatively unmodified for 2013. You can review a review of the 2012 four-cylinder and also various other trim degrees below.


2013 Toyota Camry Xle


Performance

At the heart of the sport-tuned SE is a 268-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 engine that supplies power incredibly smoothly as well as fairly silently with a six-speed transmission. Charging up highway on-ramps and also passing at broadband are non-events with this much power at hand. Nonetheless, in a fashion similar to just what we experienced in the 178-hp four-cylinder, the front tires can break loose under difficult velocity consequently maneuvers.

Both largest distinctions in between the Camry four-cylinders we have actually examined in the past as well as this SE are the noticeable gas mileage fine as well as the unusual sacrifice in trip high quality.

The four-cylinder Camry is ranked 25/35/28 mpg city/highway/combined. That's behind the upgraded 2013 Honda Accord's 27/36/30 mpg, while both lag behind the additionally recently redesigned 2013 Nissan Altima's 27/38/31 mpg.

Moving up to the V-6 option in any one of these three effects gas mileage dramatically, with the Camry dropping to 21/31/25 mpg. The V-6 Accord is ranked 21/34/25, and also the Altima is 22/31/25 mpg.

Subjectively, our editors have constantly discovered the Camry to offer a peaceful and also comfy flight that ought to appeal to travelers as well as road-trippers alike. In our $26,000 Midsize Sedan Difficulty (see the outcomes), courts scored the car well for its ride across the board, while other challengers had irregular outcomes.

The SE model attempts to provide a stylish driving experience that is absolutely not present in various other Camry models we've tested. The handling and also steering are a little sharper below, however there was still that tire-slip concern. Additionally, a lot of ride comfort is given up in the name of sportiness-- a sacrifice I do not think Camry buyers will certainly want to make.

Over freeway expansion joints, the SE's suspension delivered pronounced jolts that ended up being an extreme aggravation on my commute. The 18-inch alloy wheels really did not aid issues. They're basic on the SE V-6, while 17s are common on both the four-cylinder SE and the XLE V-6.

Inside

As the competitors warms up, Toyota finds itself encountering not just Honda and also Nissan, however likewise substantial entries from Hyundai, Kia, Ford and Mazda. All generate outstanding midsize cars, especially in terms of their insides.

Some, like the Altima as well as Hyundai Sonata, supply a comparable degree of convenience as the Camry, while the brand-new Accord, Ford Combination and also Mazda6 deliver high end interiors that the Camry can not take on.

The previous-generation Camry's interior held up in time as one of the classiest in the sector, but the upgraded model appeared affordable to much of us initially. That's not a good sign in an ambience where Honda needed to upgrade its last Civic a year after a total redesign thanks to similar sentiment.

The trouble does not come from the controls or format, however primarily using different structures along the dashboard, doors, armrests and also other locations that are frequently touched by proprietors as well as stared upon by all.

They really feel rather mushy to the touch and look excessive like plastic to the eye. Even some stitching methods that attempt to be upscale stop working here. My spouse, after entering our $32,090 Camry test cars and truck (with alternatives and location), asked if she remained in the Corolla, the Toyota small sedan that starts at fifty percent that rate.

The Camry still supplies a spacious cabin that is comfortable for the motorist as well as guests. Both guest as well as trunk volume-- 102.7 cubic feet as well as 15.4 cubic feet, respectively-- remain in line with the remainder of the course.

Safety and security

The Camry is outfitted with a basic suite of air bags and also is a Leading Safety And Security Choose by the Insurance Institute for Freeway Security. It also gained a five-star total safety and security ranking from the National Freeway Web Traffic Safety Management.

In a current Car Seat Examine by Cars.com's accredited installers, the Camry scored well for suitable all kinds of child-safety seats in numerous settings, in addition to for convenience of setup. You could locate all the safety-related attributes right here.

Camry in the Market

As a four-cylinder with great deals of convenience as well as area, the Camry is still a car to suggest. There are simply a lot more competitors today that likewise call for a close appearance, regardless of what type of trip a buyer desires in a midsize sedan.

In its most performance-oriented version, nonetheless, the Camry is no more real to exactly what has made it such a popular lorry and yet fails to provide all right on the pledge of delights.
