Toyota Camry
XV50 (
2011–present)
The new Camry was produced from 21
August 2011, introduced on 23 August 2011, and began
U.S. sales in
September 2011. The interior received a major restyling, while the exterior received all-new sheet metal and more angular styling.
The US Camry carried over three different engine choices from the previous model. Starting with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid model rated at
150 kW (
200 hp), a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 133 kW (178 hp) and 230 N·m (170 lb·ft), and a 3.5-liter V6 rated at 200 kW (268 hp) and
336 N·m (248 lb·ft).
Power output has been increased mostly by switching to electro-hydraulic power steering. The trim levels include the L, LE, SE, XLE, SE V6, XLE V6,
Hybrid LE, Hybrid XLE and for 2014 a Hybrid SE model. All models are standard with six-speed automatic transmissions. No manual transmissions are offered.
A major facelift released to
North America in
April 2014 for the
2015 model year updated most of the exterior panels.[125]
The Toyota Camry took the top spot in 2015 as the most '
American Made Car' with over 75% of its parts and manufacturing coming from the
United States. The previous year's model—the
Ford F-150 – fell below 75 percent in domestic-parts content with its 2015 model-year redesign
Sales
Competing with mainstream and more affordable models in
Japan and most export markets, for other
East and
Southeast Asian markets, the Camry is seen as a luxury car where it sells strongly
. In the United States, except for
2001, the Camry has been the best-selling passenger car up to 2015 since
1997.[129][130] The Camry also sells well in
Australia and more recently in the
Middle East and
Eastern Europe. Up until 2004, small numbers had been exported to
Western Europe.
Despite international success, and early success in Japan, the later wide-body models have been a low-volume model in its home market of Japan.
Toyota Camry (XV50)
The Toyota Camry (XV50) is a mid-size car that has been produced by Toyota since August 2011. Replacing the XV40 series, the XV50 represents the seventh generation of the Toyota Camry in all markets outside Japan, which follows a different generational lineage.
Development
The new Camry was introduced on 23 August 2011 and made its debut in the
2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series on 27 August 2011. It was released in Japan on
5 September 2011 and in the U.S. later that same month.[3] The interior received a major restyling, while the exterior received all-new sheet metal and more angular styling. Power options are the 2.5-liter 2AR-FE 4-cylinder and the 3.5-liter 2GR-FE V6.
The power output for the 2AR-FE was increased to 133 kW (178 hp) across the entire product line while the power output for the V6 remained unchanged.
EPA fuel economy numbers for both engines increased, with the V6 engine increased to 11
L/100 km; 25 mpg-imp (21 mpg-US) city cycle, 8 L/100 km; 36 mpg-imp (30 mpg-US) highway cycle and the 4-cylinder having 9 L/100 km; 30 mpg-imp (25 mpg-US) city cycle and 7 L/100 km; 42 mpg-imp (35 mpg-US) highway cycle. The XV50 Camry is the first Camry to be offered in the U.S.
Equipment
United States
The SE model is fitted with a sports-tuned suspension, 17-inch alloy wheels (with 18-inch alloys on V6 models), fog lamps, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, sport seats, and shift paddles to differentiate it from the rest of the line-up.
Prices in the U.S. start at
US$21,955. The SE, XLE trims and the hybrid had no price change or a reduction of between $200 and $
2000 with respect to the previous year.

2014 facelift
Toyota introduced a substantial mid-cycle restyling to the Camry XV50 at the 2014
New York International Auto Show in April 2014. The changes, applicable to the entire Camry range and dubbed the "big minor change" (not a new generation), consisted mainly of the alteration of most of the exterior panels – only the roof remained unchanged. The powertrain remained unchanged form the pre-facelift model.
