The Camry has been a kind of Toyota's calling card for nearly twenty years. And it is well deserved, since there are very few cars in the world, distinguished by the same comfort, practicality and safety. In addition, the sedan has always enjoyed the well-deserved glory of a car with a cool interior trim and a large number of interesting options. In the updated 2019 Toyota Camry, all these indicators will be improved, and the exterior will take on completely cosmic features.
Exterior
The exterior data of the new model is definitely outstanding. And this is despite the fact that the well-known branded style features were preserved, improving some of its elements.
First of all, it is worth noting the changes that have taken place with the front end. Here the updated Camry became a little longer and got a completely different hood with deeper depressions and convexities. In addition, it is worth noting a slight slope of the hood cover to the road. In the very center of the muzzle is a thin but long air intake with a noticeable chrome badge "Toyota" in the middle. On the side of this system are aggressive headlight strips with only premium content.
Package varieties have a tangible effect on the bumper's appearance. Where the buyer deals with the hybrid, it is a monolithic grille decorated with a large number of chrome trim strips. If the version with gasoline or diesel engine is in front of us, there will be similar air intake, divided by plastic strips into several quite independent elements.
In profile, the features of the new body are characterized by impeccable style and fully reflect the car's premium status. There is very little relief - only smooth transitions at the level of the updated door handles, slightly protruding wheel arches, a sporty skirt and small decorative strips.
In addition to the above, the exterior mirrors, rims, door handles, as well as trim options for the center pillars have changed.
Judging by the photo, the appearance of the rear of the body has also changed quite seriously. Whichever version the motorist prefers, he will always be satisfied with a compact trunk with a small aerodynamic ledge and lights, resembling the shape of a horizontally oriented oval. A little lower can be either brutal sporty dodger with a couple of completions gas outlets and air intake, or quite "civil" simple bumper with an insert, which includes a single modest exhaust end.
Interior
For the interior of the 2019 Toyota Camry, engineers have saved a lot of interesting innovations, especially in terms of travel comfort and multimedia equipment. The trim materials did not fail either: in this variant there will only be leather, as well as fragments using metals and wood.
Driver's seat
On the dashboard, you can find a very small number of physical buttons and switches. This is due to the fact that most of the functions are taken over by a huge multimedia display and a dozen buttons located around it. Also, nearby you can find a number of air ducts.
As for the tunnel, then here it is quite original by the fact that it bears the elements, useful not only for the driver, but also for the passenger. Among them - a number of notches for small things, large cup holders, gear lever, physical elements of driving modes control, handbrake, as well as a very comfortable armrest.
You can say a lot of pleasant words about the steering wheel. It is excellent as the finishing - high-quality leather, pleasant to the touch, and multifunction. The dashboard has finally become a single panel, which received rather nice speedometer and tachometer of arrow type along the edges. Between these instruments there is a place for a large on-board computer, giving out a lot of useful information.
The nuances of passenger and cargo seating
The restyling has seriously changed the seats of the new car. Now they have become even more like premium car seats, trimmed with good leather in different colors, with one of the best fillings, as well as having remarkable lateral support. In addition, all seats are equipped with heating, essential electrically-operated position adjustments, and ventilation. The rear row can be designed as two separate seats with a wide armrest in the middle, and as a whole sofa. Each seating option, as the test drive showed, is quite comfortable.
What has not changed in the car completely is a trunk. Here is the same 500 liters, plus the possibility to slightly increase the length of carried luggage due to transformation of backs of seats of the second row.
Technical Specifications
For the new Toyota Camry 2019 model year, engineers have prepared as many as three power units. Everything starts with a 2.5-liter engine, showing 178 "horses" under the hood. This variant can interact only with an eight-speed "robot". Characteristics of the most powerful 3,5-liter engine giving out under 300 horsepowers and working with the same box, as in the first variant, are more impressive, but this device will consume more fuel. The hybrid version combining electric motor and 2,5-liter petrol unit with total capacity in 218 forces, on the contrary, will eat a little bit less fuel.
However, in the last case a less reliable "variator" will be installed, and thus it will be riskier to go off the road by such car. Though to call the last Camry even with the most afterpowerful engine "allroad" would be hardly a dare of any expert.
