Toyota Camry does exactly what a D-Class car should do: move your family reliably, comfortably and relatively cheaply.
PROS: optimal quality-price ratio, great Japanese reliability, rich set of options and modifications, the car has good noise insulation.
CONS: rather dull in dynamics, unless of course you take the engine with a volume of 3.5 liters.
Separately, I want to emphasize the comfort of the cabin and trim materials, all made at the highest level.
Recommended modification on the price/quality ratio: Elegance with 2.5-liter atmospheric engine 180 hp. Why her? If you do not belong to the class of people who have the most important aspect in choosing a car is how much it accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h, it is better to take this modification as 1) One of the most important nuances in choosing this engine is what tax you will pay for it in Moscow, the figure is in contrast to the 3.5-liter brother for which you have to pay 100 USD. 2) This engine consumes much less fuel than a 3.5L engine. 3) The car in this modification will be easier to sell.
Elegance with a 2.5-liter atmospheric engine with 180 hp.
What is it about the Toyota Camry that encourages so many people to opt for it? Let's show some numbers and bare facts before Toyota Camry test drives:
The Toyota Camry is the best-selling passenger car in the U.S. since 2001 and one of the best-selling D-Class cars in Europe.
When it comes to midsize sedans, the Toyota Camry is by far the most popular choice worldwide. Second place goes to the Honda Accord.
Millions of people around the world find the Toyota Camry to be an attractive combination of functionality, reliability, features and price.
The sedan market in Europe is severely overcrowded, and competition is stiff. That is why Toyota Camry is simply obliged to show itself on a test drive just perfect. However, Camry is a balanced in price and performance car, which is confirmed by all test drives - even Toyota Camry test-drives, the purpose of which is to show the minuses of cars.
The 2017 Toyota Camry's specs

Is the restyled 2017 Toyota Camry worth buying?
So, based on the results, we've seen that the car covers almost every need from the large-scale midsize sedan market, but the last hurdle before anyone signs a purchase check (or a down payment on a loan) is price. Yes, Toyotas aren't cheap in principle, and today the company believes it's entitled to claim an extra markup for the brand.
The base configuration of the Camry starts at 23 000 USD, and it is almost like a BMW 3 or even closer to the Audi A4 price segment. The top configuration will cost you a bit more than 24 000 USD at the dealer.
But comparing it with its competitors . You will see that it leads in many parameters. As a result, the Toyota Camry is a convenient and reliable car for you and your family, and it's worth buying. You'll get a good replacement for your, albeit rather fat, wallet in features and reliability, and the car will last a long time with little maintenance costs. It's a very simple formula for selling nearly half a million cars a year.
