New Toyota Camry - modern, sophisticated styling
Aug 23, 2011 By Toyota Australia.
Every exterior panel on Toyota Camry is new.
New Camry's exterior is elegantly simple yet modern, emphasising a wide, low stance.
Crisp, precise character lines, a strongly curved door cross-section and more defined rocker panel mouldings deliver a more expressive appearance.
Headlights have a more dynamic shape, with a pronounced curvature of the main-beam unit merging into the bumper cover.
The taillights wrap tightly into the body sides, with their top sections extending into the bootlid.
Camry Atara, unveiled exclusively in Australia, has its own lower-body design and mesh upper grille section.
Atara features a three-part lower grille section that houses foglamps.
Atara's more prominent rocker panel mouldings cleanly link to integrated front and rear under-body spoilers, emphasising width.
While the new Camry's external dimensions are very similar to the previous generation, it has a more inviting and spacious interior as well as a greater perception of space.
A new dashboard design, modified seat locations, redesigned seats and 'lean' door, pillar and headliner trim all combine to add interior space and improve visibility.
Repositioning the driver's seat and the tilt-telescopic steering wheel provide better visibility and positioning for the driver.
The accelerator pedal and front seats have been moved forward while the rear-seat hip point was moved back.
The result is that the couple distance (the length between the hip points of occupants in the front and rear seats) has been increased by 15mm.
Together with clever sculpting of the new front seatbacks, rear knee room has been improved by 46mm.
Further details of the new Camry interior will be released closer to the car's launch in late November.
