Domestic sales of Camry end; Crown sedan replaced as successor model
Toyota will end sales of its Camry sedan model in Japan. The overseas model has undergone a full model change and will continue to be sold in the 11th generation, becoming an overseas exclusive model. As a result, the “Camry” will be integrated with the “Crown” as a Toyota sedan model.
In other words, users of the previous generation Camry and Crown will be looking for a Crown sedan, and sales of the Allion Premio and many sedans from other companies will be discontinued, as well as the Lexus GS and Honda Civic. It is perfect to fill the void left by many sedans such as the Sedan, Grace, Legend, and Accord .
