New Camry engine: more power, less fuel
Aug 23, 2011 By Toyota Australia.
Next-generation Camry will be powered by a new 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine that produces more power while using less fuel.
The new fuel-efficient and more environmentally sustainable engine will be built at Altona from the latter half of 2012.
Approximately $300 million of investment will be injected into the Australian economy to build the new engine line.
Toyota's new engine boosts Camry's power by more than 10 per cent and lifts torque by more than five per cent - including solid gains in the mid range.
At the same time as achieving more power and torque, new Camry uses substantially less fuel - around 10 per cent*.
Atara grades will produce a little more power and torque, thanks to improved twin exhaust manifolds.
The new range is equipped exclusively with a six-speed automatic transmission that offers a sequential manual shift mode.
On Atara models, it can be operated with paddle shifts at the driver's fingertips for sporty driving and greater enjoyment.
All new Camry models, including Atara, feature Toyota's latest electric power steering system.
The system regulates assistance based on vehicle speed - light effort for parking and moderate effort at higher speeds.
It helps fuel economy because electricity is consumed only when power assistance is necessary - and it's more friendly to the environment because there's no hydraulic fluid.
Long-praised as a benchmark for quietness in the mid-size segment, new Camry resets the standard with an even higher level of refinement.
New or additional sound-absorbing devices have been placed in areas where noticeable sounds can enter the cabin.
In particular, engineers focused on suppressing noises that are near the frequencies of human speech to provide an environment that is more comfortable for conversation.
A more rigid body structure, revised suspension and new aerodynamic aids all contribute to greater straight-line stability, crisper steering response and overall ride comfort.
The taillights and side-view mirrors incorporate aero-stabilising fins which create air vortexes that stabilise the body and contribute to handling stability.
Under-body aerodynamic elements regulate airflow, also contributing to ride smoothness.
