Toyota Camry is the exquisite luxury sedan that packs both performance and comfort at the same time.
The mighty Fortuner and the favourite MPV, Innova Crysta surely make one of the popular choices in the Indian markets but even these two have shown a significant decline in sales in the last one year. However, it is the Toyota Camry sales which have improved by jumping up to 73%.
The luxury hybrid sedan managed to sell a total of 45 units this May’19 compared to just 26 units last year. The premium sedan was launched in January this year and is the eight generation face from the Japanese carmaker.
The new Camry is based on the Toyota New Global Architecture(TNGA) modular platform which uses high tensile steel. Toyota calls the Camry as a Hybrid Electric. Powering the car is an all-new 2.5-litre petrol engine which makes about 178 bhp with a peak torque of 221 Nm. It is mated to a CVT gearbox and comes with paddle shifters.
