The weight of the car, depending on the modification, is between 1.57 and 1.69 tonnes. Ground clearance is just 15.5 cm. Such ground clearance is not enough for travelling on rough roads, and it is better not to drive such a car off-road at all. The boot space is 493 litres in most versions. However, in the Premium configuration with adjustable backrests, the capacity of this compartment can be reduced to 469 liters.

The model is equipped with a unique front console, curved to form a comfortable and ergonomic zone around the driver;

the colour screen of the multimedia system gets a diagonal of 8 inches, the possibility of remote control via the 4G LTE network and a Wi-Fi point with 5 connections;

information display diagonal is 7 inches, the projection screen, which provides information transfer to the windshield, 10 inches;

the interior trim continues to be the same expensive and high quality, there are no crickets when driving, and the top versions may have wood-like elements.

Continuing with the 2018 Toyota Camry review, it's worth noting the redesigned shape of the front seats with better side support and a comfortable backrest profile. The width of the cabin has increased by 15 mm, so passengers on the second row of the car are now much more comfortable, even in threes.
