2 April 2018

But most of the models have increased in price

New Toyota Camry was announced in early 2017, but from a formal point of view, it was not presented for the Russian market. Yes, have long been rumors that there are versions of the sedan for the U.S. and Russia will be no difference, and in recent weeks have some automotive publications have managed to ride the assembled in Saint-Petersburg the copies, but in the representation of Toyota has remained silent. But now immediately published a full price list.

It's hard to believe, but the Toyota Camry eighth generation (code name — XV70) is cheaper! Now the basic version will cost 1 399 000 rubles 8 000 rubles less than the previous starting amount. However, other modifications of the sedan added a bit in price, though the richer areas.

In Russia will be kept, older versions of the Toyota Camry Japanese car can be purchased with atmospheric engines 2, 2.5 and 3.5 liters. If for the US market all powertrains have been upgraded in Russia, the Japanese decided to leave almost all the old. So, two younger engine with a capacity of 150 and 181 horsepower will not undergo any changes. Moreover, they will be paired with the same six-speed "automatic".

Only the 3.5-liter V6 has been updated. The engineers have increased the compression ratio, installed a combined injection and applied new hydraulic shifter intake. In favor of a lower rate of vehicle tax power will again be 249 horsepower, although in America the same engine produces 305 HP. Transmission here, too, new — eight-speed automatic. However, the two additional gears are unable to significantly improve the dynamics: from 0 to 100 km/h such car is dispersed for 7,7 seconds.

The number of trim levels Toyota Camry was reduced from nine to seven. And although the "base" has become a little cheaper, other versions are expensive. More all has risen in price the most expensive modification of the sedan: they have increased in price to 178 000. The reason lies in the emergence of complex Toyota Safety Sense 2.0. He not only knows how to follow the markings and automatically brake before obstacles, but also recognizes pedestrians.
