2013 TOYOTA CAMRY Review - Best-seller improved

2013 TOYOTA CAMRY 2014 The new Toyota Camry (XV 50) was introduced on August 23, 2011, and began U.S. sales in September 2011. The interior received a major restyling, while the exterior received all-new sheet metal and more angular styling. In this generation, the Camry line-up for the Japanese domestic market was reduced to being just a single variant (hybrid only). The Japanese market will now share the same Camry model as the Asian market Camry. (Prior to this, Japanese market Camry were similar to American market models). The U.S. Camry carried over 3 different engine choices from the previous model. Starting with a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder hybrid model rated at 150 kW (200 hp), a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder gas engine rated at 133 kW (178 hp) and 230 N·m (170 lb·ft), and a 3.5-liter V6 rated at 200 kW (268 hp) and 336 N·m (248 lb·ft). Power output has been increased mostly by switching to electro-hydraulic power steering. The trim levels include the L, LE, XLE, SE, XLE V6, SE V6, and Hybrid. All models are standard with 6-speed automatic transmissions. No manual transmissions are offered. The SE model gets paddle shifters and dual exhaust. The new model has increased fuel economy due to lighter weight, a sleeker body, and low rolling-resistance tires. The Toyota Camry (pron.: /?kæmri/; Japanese: ???????) is a series of mid-size (originally compact) automobiles manufactured by Toyota since 1982, and sold in the majority of automotive markets throughout the world. Between 1980 and 1982, the "Camry" nameplate was delegated to a four-door sedan, known as the Toyota Celica Camry. The name "Camry" is an Anglicized phonetic transcription of the Japanese word kanmuri (?, ????), meaning "crown". This follows Toyota's naming tradition of using the crown name for primary models starting with the Toyota Crown in 1955, continuing with the Toyota Corona and Corolla; the Latin words for "crown" and "small crown", respectively. In Japan, it is exclusive to Toyota Corolla Store retail dealerships. As of May 2012, the Camry is the best-selling passenger car in North America. The Camry also sells very well in Australia, and a number of Asian markets. Despite international success, the Camry has not sold as well in its home market Japan, or in Europe, where sales ended in 2004. For the East and Southeast Asian markets, high-specification Camry models are seen as executive cars. Since the XV30 series, the Camrys sold in these markets have sported revised front- and rear-end treatment. For the 2006 onwards XV40 version, the same was done, although the Australian-designed and Camry-derived Toyota Aurion (XV40) was the donor model. The Aurion features revised front- and rear-end styling and changes to the interior, but has the same powertrains as the Camry in various markets. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Camry
