Toyota has been synonymous with big-size SUVs, and MPVs, like the Fortuner, Innova sisters, Vellfire, and its iconic pickup, the Hilux in India. The hatchback Etios Liva and the sedan Etios did decently for its run, but couldn't gain mass support, leaving the brand as just a big-size production game. But that's not it as the Toyota Camry etched itself in the sedan space with its reliable and punchy engine with a premium feel inside the cabin, that came at a price. Now, the next-gen Camry is all set to make its way to the Indian market by 2025 as per the latest scoop. Let's look at the details to find out exactly what's on offer, but before that, make sure you are a part of our 91Wheels Whatsapp Channel, specifically curated for all the avid petrolheads to never miss out on any automotive updates.

Toyota Camry Set For 2025 Launch
The new Toyota Camry builds upon the design of its predecessor, incorporating elements inspired by Lexus. The car's elongated silhouette and distinctive front fascia, characterized by a prominent chin and layered details, contribute to its bold and sophisticated appearance. While the wheelbase remains unchanged, the overall length has been slightly increased. But make no mistake, it's not your regular sedan and by the looks of it, it will be a head-turner on the road. I have always been a fan of the Camry and this new iteration is something that will infuse more charm to its overall allure with its hybrid suite that now offers more power, but more on that later.
Interior And Features
The interior of the new Camry exudes a more refined and sophisticated ambiance. The two-tone cabin is complemented by subtle chrome accents, while the larger screen with wireless Apple CarPlay adds to the modern appeal. The car is also equipped with advanced ADAS features such as dynamic radar cruise control, lane departure alert, pre-collision braking, safe exit assist, and a factory-fitted dash cam option. The Camry was always known for its luxury and that's the reason why it is adored by the chauffeur driven class. And why wouldn't that be the case? The Camry's popularity as a chauffeur-driven car stems from its focus on rear-seat comfort. The reclining seats with ventilation and convenient controls between the seats enhance the luxury experience. And when you're paying in the vicinity of Fortuner's price, you shouldn't expect any less.

Hybrid Powertrain
The new Camry features an upgraded powertrain, with a more powerful engine and a stronger hybrid system to deliver a combined output of 227hp. This improvement not only enhances performance but also boosts fuel efficiency, with a claimed fuel economy of 25kpl, significantly higher than the current model's 19.1kpl. This is a big upgrade with this update and more power will be cherished by those who like to keep the wheel to themselves.
Verdict
Toyota Camry is not your regular sedan and while its price point might take you back being comparable to the Fortuner here in India, but the level of comfort and plush experience that it provides makes up for it. However, the new gen sedan is sure to attract even more interest and gain more traction as the market opens again for sedans gradually amidst the SUV boom.
