New Toyota Camry: Safety Equipment

Furthermore, the new Camry boasts the latest suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) features as standard, including pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, rear-cross traffic alert, blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and lane keeping assist. It is not yet clear if Toyota will offer these ADAS features in the India-spec model. The India-spec model is also expected to benefit from some safety features available on international-spec Camry, such as 8 airbags, TPMS, 360-degree camera, hill start assist, anti-theft alarm, ABS with EBD, and ISOFIX child seat anchor points.

New Toyota Camry: Tweaked Hybrid Powertrain

The new-gen Camry is powered  by an updated 2.5-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine paired with Toyota’s fifth generation hybrid system. This includes a new battery, two new electric motors, and reworked components. The hybrid system produces a combined output of 225 PS in the front-wheel-drive (FWD) version, which may be the trim Toyota brings to the Indian market. As a matter of fact, there is also an all-wheel drive version available in some international markets that makes 232 PS – 7 PS more than the FWD version.

New Toyota Camry: Price & Rivals

The upcoming Toyota Camry is expected to command a premium over the outgoing model, which costs Rs 46.17 lakh (ex-showroom). The new price could be around Rs 50 lakh (ex-showroom). Upon launch, it will continue to compete against the Skoda Superb.
