- New engine and transmission delivering more power and torque
- Improved fuel economy and lower emissions
- More engaging driving dynamics
- Quieter and more spacious cabin
- Advanced safety features
Toyota Australia has released the all-new seventh-generation Camry featuring new styling with a more
spacious interior and improved driving dynamics.
The 2012 Toyota Camry combines a new 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine and six-speed automatic
transmission that deliver better performance while cutting fuel bills and emissions.
Built in Australia, new Camry features expanded safety features, a more comfortable ride, better
handling and added refinement, including an even quieter cabin.
The new range introduces two distinct looks to expand buyer appeal - an entry-level Altise and three
new Atara variants.
Atara models have unique styling, including the lower-body design, a sporty mesh upper grille,
prominent side skirts and twin exhausts.
Advanced features at the top of the range include a blind-spot monitor to help prevent collisions and
automatic high beam that automatically dips headlights at night to avoid blinding other drivers.
The new range arrives with zero price increases for the Altise at $30,490* and the range-topping
Atara SL at $39,990*, which replaces the Grande.
Price increases for Atara S (replaces Ateva) and Atara SX (Sportivo) are outweighed by added
features.
Toyota Australia senior executive director sales and marketing David Buttner said the keen pricing
delivers even better value to consumers.
"New Camry has the sharp styling, advanced safety, dynamic driving performance, interior space and
quietness, comprehensive features, low cost of ownership and exceptional value demanded by Australian
drivers," Mr Buttner said.
"Camry will be a significant contributor to the Australian and Victorian economies, and holds the
key to a strong future for the local automotive sector."
"In addition to local sales, Camry will be exported to more than 12 countries, including Saudi
Arabia, other Middle East countries and New Zealand, earning export sales revenue well in excess of $1
billion a year."
"It is a great Australian success story,"" Mr Buttner said.
Body, electrical and chassis engineers from the Toyota Technical Centre in Melbourne contributed to
the development of Camry as a global car from as early as 2006.
They also tuned and tested local versions to meet the demands of Australian motorists and road
conditions, including calibrations for the electric power steering, blind-spot monitor and automatic
high beam.
Designers at Toyota Style Australia were responsible for the interior fabrics and colour and trim of
the local cars.
Camry Altise delivers 133 kW of power and 231 Nm of torque, substantial gains over the 117 kW and 218
Nm of the previous generation.
Atara variants gain twin exhausts that help lift output to 135 kW and 235 Nm for gains of 15 per cent
and eight per cent respectively over the previous engine.
All Atara grades - S, sporty SX and luxury SL - have paddle shifts at the driver's fingertips,
delivering greater driver involvement and enjoyment.
Fuel economy across the range is just 7.8 litres/100 km# - an improvement of one litre per
100 km, which means up to an extra 100 km from a tank of unleaded petrol.
Toyota has cut CO2 emissions by 25 grammes/km#, which equates to a quarter of a million
fewer tonnes being produced over five years across the Camry fleet, compared with the current car.
Altise epitomises Camry's quality, durability and reliability and is ideal for those who demand a
comfortable and pleasant mobile office with low whole-of-life costs.
It has seven airbags, better braking and brake feel, vehicle stability and traction control, anti-skid
brakes, a stronger body structure and a new seat frame that makes driving more comfortable.
The introduction of electric power steering across the range, along with refinements to the suspension,
has led to significant improvements to handling and ride comfort.
Altise is also equipped with 16-inch alloys, trip computer and an upgraded sound system with six
speakers and controls on the steering wheel.
Atara S also features foglamps, 17-inch alloys, smart entry and smart start, reversing camera,
dual-zone air-conditioning, 6.1-inch touch-screen display audio, premium steering wheel and gearshift knob
and an electric driver's seat with lumbar support.
Atara SX is distinguished by unique rear bumper, rear lip spoiler, sports pedals, sports suspension,
black-tinted headlamps and sports leather-accented interior.
Top of the range Atara SL features JBL premium audio with 10 speakers, a 7-inch touch-screen display
with satellite navigation, digital radio, RDS live traffic updates, reversing camera with back-guide
monitor, blind-spot monitor, automatic high beam, electric front seats and rain-sensing wipers.
New Camry is covered by Toyota Service Advantage capped-price servicing, which has been extended to
four years/75,000 km and up to five services^ at $130 per service for the new range.
New accessories include 17-inch alloy wheels and bodyside mouldings with chrome inserts.
