The Eighth Generation Toyota Camry

Jan 11, 2017

Toyota just revealed the redesigned, eighth-generation of the Camry at the Detroit auto show on Monday. Consider this redesign a more structural overhaul than cosmetic revolution. Toyota engineers designed the Camry using a global architectural platform that is shared with other vehicles of similar size and allows the company to spread out costs and improve quality.

It’s a little longer, with the wheelbase growing by 2 inches, a little lower, with the roof 1 inch shorter and the hood height 1.6 inches closer to the ground. The 2018 Camry comes with three new powertrain options: a 3.5-liter, 6-cylinder engine; a 2.5-liter, inline-4 gas engine paired with 8-speed automatic transmission, and a hybrid.

Standard safety technologies on the Camry include 10 air bags, pedestrian detection system, range-dynamic radar cruise control, lane-departure alert with steering assist and automatic high beams.

The new generation Camry will be available for sale this Summer.
