Improved Performance and Better Handling
Dynamic Performance
The Camry Altise and Camry Atara range all have a powerful 2.5L Dual VVT-i engine and six speed sequential shift transmission combined with Anti-skid Braking System (ABS) , Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Traction Control (TRC) . This package not only delivers plenty of power, it also helps to keep you in control. Electric Power Steering (EPS) and suspension tuned specifically for Australian road conditions as well as aerodynamic features, combine to deliver a dynamic ride and handling package.
Improved hybrid performance
Camry H and Camry HL are powered by an engine unit featuring Toyota's world leading Hybrid Synergy Drive® technology. This incorporates a 2.5 Litre engine and an advanced electric motor. The 2.5 Litre petrol engine in the Hybrid System delivers 8kW more power overall and generates 20% more torque at low speeds, significantly improving acceleration from a standing start. Camry H and Camry HL also come with Anti-skid Braking System (ABS), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Traction Control (TRC), which deliver improved safety and enables supreme handling in all conditions.
Power
Camry Altise delivers 13.7% more power[B13] than the previous model Camry, thanks to the 2.5L Dual VVT-i engine, while Camry Atara models have 15.4% more power[B13] due to dual exhausts. All models across the range generate more torque than previous model Camry.
The 2.5 Litre petrol engine in the Hybrid System of Camry H and Camry HL delivers 8kW more power overall and generates increased torque at all engine speeds with a significant 20% increase at low speeds.
Camry 2.5L dual VVT-i engine
Camry's 2.5L 2AR-FE Dual VVT-i engine replaces the previous 2.4L single VVT-i engine. This highly efficient power pack includes advanced engine technologies that lower engine friction and deliver more power more efficiently, lowering fuel consumption at the same time[G1]. More power with less fuel cost makes Camry the perfect choice of sedan[G1].
Camry Atara's dual exhaust isn't just a powerful style statement, it also improves performance.
Camry H and Camry HL - Powerful Hybrid Engine
The powerful Hybrid Engine in Camry H and Camry HL incorporates a 2.5 L petrol engine. This is teamed with an advanced electric motor using Toyota's world leading Hybrid Synergy DriveŽ technology and while it delivers significantly more power and torque than previous models, it is also more economical, delivering better fuel economy and generating lower CO2 emissions than any previous hybrid Camry.
The 2.5L engine in Camry Altise and Atara range (excluding Atara R) is mated to a six speed automatic transmission with sequential shift. This transmission matches exactly the right gear ratio for the driving situation, helping you drive more smoothly. Camry Atara models (excluding Atara R) make for an engaging drive when Sports mode is selected, with paddle shift technology delivering high response up shifts and throttle 'blipping' downshifts.
With the Hybrid Engine unit in Camry H and Camry HL, gear changing is a thing of the past. Instead, the cars use a system called electronic continuously variable transmission (e-CVT) . This applies power seamlessly, enabling smooth and efficient acceleration. Along with the powerful engine unit, e-CVT ensures dynamic acceleration when pulling away or overtaking.
Electric Power Steering (EPS) is standard across the entire Camry range.
Based on feedback from the car's sensors, EPS varies the amount of steering power assistance so that you always have a good feel for the road in all driving situations. Tuned specifically for Australian driving conditions, the steering is light at low speed to make parking easier but becomes heavier for better feedback at speeds on the highway.
Camry Atara models (excluding Atara R) come with quick response paddle shift technology and Sports driving mode for faster gear changes and a more dynamic driving experience.
Camry's aerodynamics are crucial to performance - the body design incorporates Formula1 inspired vortex generating aero fins on the side mirror mounts and tail lamps as well as on the underbody of the car. These are designed to help stabilise performance by dictating airflow behaviour around the vehicle and helping the car hug the road.
Low Noise & Vibration
Camry's acoustic insulation technology means a quieter ride. By reducing engine noise and vibration, redesigning exterior features to reduce wind noise and improving the sealing and acoustic packaging inside, we have improved Camry's Noise and Vibration (NVH) profile across the range, reducing unwanted sound and vibration and insulating you from the worst of irritating noises from road-works, resulting in a quieter, more comfortable ride and give you a chance to listen to music and converse at normal volumes.
In Camry H and HL, the use of acoustic glass windscreen reduces the noise levels even more for ultimate comfort.
Both the 2.5L Dual VVT-i engine in Camry Altise and the Camry Atara range and the Hybrid Engine in Camry H and Camry HL, generate more torque than in previous models and are the only passenger hybrids with a towing capacity[G6]. (Tow bar available as an extra on all models).
Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i)
Toyota engine system that provides continual variations of the intake valve timing to provide optimal valve timing for the full range of driving conditions. It improves driveability, performance and fuel efficiency, and reduces emissions. Dual VVT-i provides even greater improvement, by independently varying exhaust valve timing as well as intake timing. Image shown for illustration purposes only.
ABS (Anti-Skid Braking System)
Modern electronics and a hydraulic actuator compares and adjusts wheel speeds when braking to prevent wheel lock-up and hence a potential skid.
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
System that ensures control in cornering situations the way ABS does under braking and TRC does under acceleration. The VSC system utilises electronic sensors in conjunction with the ABS and TRC hardware to help control any potential understeer or oversteer situations. Understeer is when the vehicle loses front-wheel traction and wants to push forward nose first. Oversteer is when the rear wheels lose traction and the tail begins to slide.
Traction Control (TRC)
System designed to maximise safety when accelerating on slippery road surfaces or when the available grip differs from one side of the vehicle to the other (such as when two wheels are on a gravel or grass verge). Operated by controlling the throttle and/or applying the brakes to any wheel that is slipping. Image shown for illustration purposes only.
Electric Power-assisted Steering (EPS)
System in which an electric motor attached to the steering rack or shaft provides power assistance - in place of the conventional hydraulic assist system. The electric motor only consumes energy when power assistance is required (i.e. when the steering wheel is turned), thereby saving energy and fuel. The more straight-road driving, the greater the fuel saving. EPS eliminates the need for a hydraulic pump, hydraulic pipes, pulleys and belt, and power-steering fluid in the steering system. It therefore offers reduced service costs and environmental benefits, as well as saving fuel.
Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD)
The Hybrid Synergy Drive developed by Toyota integrates the desirable elements of a petrol engine and an electric motor. It uses the spontaneous high torque from the electric motor from rest for starting. For cruising in the high-speed range, it utilizes the efficient power of the petrol engine. The management system carefully selects the optimum combination of the petrol engine and electric motor in order to maximise fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Image shown for illustration purposes only.
