Japanese automaker Toyota has launched the 9th generation of its premium sedan, Camry in the Indian market. The new-gen Camry, which was launched in the international market over a year ago, has been introduced at an ex-showroom price starting at Rs 48 lakh in India. The car has gotten expensive by nearly Rs 2 lakh from the predecessor which was rolled out at an ex-showroom price starting at Rs 46.17 lakh. The company has said that the deliveries of the new-gen Camry will begin immediately. The new Toyota Camry comes with a host of design upgrades which grab attention from the first look.
New Toyota Camry 2024: Design
Built on the TNGA-K platform, the Camry carries Toyota's traditional design language. The car's front features a sharp nose and new sleek LED headlights with integrated C-shaped LED daytime running. On the back, there are new and edgy C-shaped taillights and Camry lettering on the boot. The new Camry sits on a redesigned 18-inch alloy
Interiors
While the front of the new Camry does carry a few traditional Toyota design elements, the interiors have been revamped. The company has gone with simplistic yet elegant interiors that feature a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster next to a 12.3-inch touchscreen for infotainment functions with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There is a three-spoke steering wheel, while the centre console gets a traditional-looking gear stick instead of a toggle bar which has become the new norm. The company has also used physical buttons for functions like climate control.
There is also a small touch screen in the rear screen armrest that allows the passengers at the back to control music and other functions.
