A Spacious Car That's Also Fun and Efficient

Every once in a while, a car comes along that makes you sit up and take notice.

That's not something you'd typically expect from a model that's been on the market for over 20 years, often playing the role of a backbencher. But the latest, ninth-generation is the one to bring Toyota Camry back to the front row.

For starters, this Camry looks a lot edgier. Its sharply creased lines lead to a pointed nose, flanked by slim boomerang-shaped LED DRLs and LED headlamps. The large air dam, styled like a Lexus, takes prominence up front. Strong cuts and creases highlight the car's entire surface while it rides on 18-inch wheels. The roof-line flows smoothly down to the rear, and the boot edge is angled, giving it a sporty look. Slim C-shaped tail lamps complete the sharp design.

Inside the cabin, a premium interior greets you. The 12.3-inch infotainment screen is now integrated into the dash, and the Y-shaped central area has given way to a cleaner, more conventional layout. The horizontal slats, spanning the dash, create a sense of width and make the cabin feel more expansive. The dual-tone tan and black interior adds a luxurious touch. Below the infotainment screen, a separate set of climate control buttons provides easy access, with the air vents positioned just beneath it. The 10-way powered and ventilated front seats ensure comfort at all times.
