Since the XV30 was first introduced in 2002, Toyota’s Camry has been available for purchase in India. The Camry, which has been a low volume but steady seller for Toyota over the years, is almost a permanent fixture in the company’s lineup in India. According to Toyota, this tendency is expected to continue when the new ninth-generation Camry XV80 is introduced and goes on sale in early 2025.

Like its predecessor, the new vehicle will be built in India and is anticipated to be unveiled to the public during the Bharat Mobility Show. Comfort in the backseat, fuel economy, and reliability will remain the new Camry’s key selling points, and it will once again only be offered as a powerful hybrid.

The new car’s design is obviously an improvement over the one that is currently available for purchase. Despite having the same wheelbase as the present Camry, the new model is somewhat longer. It appears that Toyota’s designers borrowed some ideas from Lexus. The new Camry also features some intriguing layering low down, and the nose, and particularly the chin, has that distinctive Lexus-like anvil form. There is also plenty of breadth because to the wide “brackets” on either side.
The thin “grille” that resembles a slot and extends from headlamp to headlight is also attractive. The headlight pods are small due to the usage of contemporary lighting, and LED Daytime Running Lights provide a lot of much-needed personality. Additionally, Toyota has made provisions for additional.

Interior features and powertrain

The Camry’s emphasis on the back seat is another factor that has contributed to its popularity throughout time, particularly as a chauffeur-driven vehicle. The blind controls and other controls are positioned between the seats, and the seat has ventilation and a recline. Additionally, the 427-liter cargo space isn’t significantly reduced because the battery is positioned front of the back axle.
The new cabin’s design is more elegant and well-kept. The two-tone cabin is enhanced by subtle yet functional chrome accents, wireless Apple CarPlay has been incorporated into a bigger screen, and the vehicle sports ADAS technologies including lane departure alert with steering assistance, dynamic radar cruise control with curve speed reduction. You also get safe exit assist as well as a factory-fitted dash cam should you opt for one.

The new Camry has greater power, up to 227 horsepower from the engine and strong-hybrid system combined, even if the basic mechanical components employed under the hood are same. Additionally, the new Camry is more efficient, with a stated fuel economy of 25 kpl, compared to the existing model’s 19.1 kpl. The real-world efficiency of over 20 kpl in our conditions would be fantastic for a car of this size, and this performance and efficiency leap pushes the edge on both ends. Despite the anticipated starting price of Rs 48 lakh, this big, effective, and comfortable car is guaranteed to generate a considerable amount of research and interest because it has no true competitors.
