Soft suspension, precise steering, presentable appearance at the level of business-class cars, it allowed this generation to become the benchmark among representatives of its segment.
The Toyota Camry received its own power plant for different car markets. The Japanese were limited to the 2.4-liter engine, but car owners from Russia and the U.S. were more lucky - for these countries was available 277-horsepower engine volume of 3.5 liters. This engine was paired with the proven and reliable Aisin automatic transmission.

The engine output is 277 horsepower at 6200 rpm. Torque of 346 Nm is reached at 4,700 rpm. The top speed of the Camry 3.5 is limited to 230 kilometers per hour, to "hundred" Camry V6 XV40 is able to accelerate in 7.4 seconds.
Moderate, as for such speed indicators, it is possible to consider fuel consumption: according to reviews, in the highway mode the car consumes only 7.4 liters per hundred kilometers, in the city its appetite increases to 14.1 liters, which for the main region of use, that is America, is an average indicator. Also, Toyota Camry XV40 3.5 cannot be found with a manual transmission. The car with the V6 engine is exclusively equipped with an automatic transmission, which is consistent with the American style.

However, if the previous generation for the American market supplied identical power units, since 2012 the Camry XV50 (55) in America is installed deformed to 249 horsepower engine 3.5. the reason for this was an increase in the transport tax. This engine was also installed on the restyled Camry XV55.
Options

As before, the Camry 3.5 in the 50-series is equipped only with a six-speed automatic transmission. The ground clearance has increased by 2 cm, but the volume of the trunk has increased to 506 liters.
