New Toyota Camry Hybrid Launched At Rs 48 Lakh In Fully Loaded Trim
The ninth-generation Toyota Camry, which costs Rs 48 lakh (ex-showroom), has arrived in India. This latest iteration of Toyota’s luxury sedan debuted in international markets more than a year ago. Its fuel-hybrid drivetrain’s economy is one of its outstanding qualities. Toyota claims that delivery of the new Camry will begin immediately.
The price of the new Camry is Rs 1.83 lakh more than that of the previous model, which cost Rs 46.17 lakh. Nevertheless, the high-end sedan is Rs 6 lakh less expensive than the Skoda Superb, its primary competitor in India, which costs Rs 54 lakh. With prices starting at Rs 46.02 lakh, Rs 54.40 lakh, and Rs 60.60 lakh, respectively, the Audi A4, Mercedes C-Class, and BMW 3 Series Gran Limousine may all be considered alternatives to the new Camry.

The TNGA-K platform is used to build the ninth-generation Toyota Camry. Its face receives Toyota’s “hammerhead” style, which includes daytime running lights, a slender LED headlight, and a sharp snout. The bumpers have an almost Lexus-like anvil form, the “T” emblem has been positioned higher than it was previously, and a slender grille nearly links the headlights. Redesigned 18-inch wheels, new C-shaped LED taillights, and a dramatic new character line along the side complete the design elements.
The exterior colours of Toyota’s ninth-generation Camry include Platinum White Pearl, Dark Blue, Cement Grey, Emotional Red, Attitude Black, and Precious Metal. The 2018 Camry’s interior has a redesigned dashboard with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster adjacent to a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen that supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It also has a 10-inch head-up display, digital key capabilities, and a nine-speaker JBL sound system.
With controls located in the back centre console, the rear seats may be made to recline. Toyota provides a sunroof with a retractable sunshade, three-zone auto temperature control, and ventilated 10-way powered front seats for increased comfort. Standard equipment includes Toyota’s Safety Sense 3.0 suite, often known as its automated driving assistance system (ADAS). In addition to radar-based cruise control, lane-tracing assistance, road-sign assistance, and pre-collision assist with pedestrian recognition, the system also has automatic high beam for improved night vision. A 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors, and nine airbags are further features.

The Toyota fifth-generation Hybrid System (THS 5) is mated to a 2.5-litre petrol engine in the new Camry. With 230 horsepower overall, this upgraded configuration is around 12 horsepower more powerful than the previous model. Additionally, fuel efficiency has increased from the previous model to the current one, which has an ARAI rating of 25.49 kpl. The Camry’s eCVT gearbox is used by other hybrid vehicles in the family. The Camry’s battery pack is covered under the brand’s 8-year/1.6-lakh-kilometer guarantee. In addition to assembling the new model at its Bidadi facility in Karnataka, Toyota has been delivering the Camry to India through the CKD method since it introduced the seventh generation here in 2013.
