However, the front-wheel drive version has a combined maximum power of 225 hp (228 PS), while the all-wheel drive version has a combined maximum power of 232 hp (235 PS). In fact, the all-wheel drive Camry is nominally front-wheel drive, but AWD functionality is provided by a third rear-mounted electric motor when needed.

About Camry

In Japan, Toyota has ended domestic sales of the Camry sedan model. According to Toyota’s official page, production will continue until late December 2023, and the Camry will disappear from the lineup on January 30, 2024.

Looking back at the history of the Camry, it is currently in its 10th generation. In the past, full model changes have been repeated every five to six years, but a full model change from 2023 to 2024 has been postponed. Unfortunately, sales in Japan will end after the 10th generation.

Along with the Corolla, the Camry has been positioned as Toyota Motor Corporation’s global strategic vehicle.It was born in 1980 as the domestic-only model, the Celica Camry, and in 1982 it was given its current name, Camry, and sold globally. has started. To date, the Camry has been sold in more than 100 countries and regions, with cumulative sales of more than 18 million units, including “Toyota’s global midsize sedan,” which has been the number one selling passenger car in the United States for 15 consecutive years. it was done.

The Japanese model will be discontinued in January 2024, ending its 44-year history.

A word from the editorial department

I feel that the 11th generation of the new Camry, which has undergone a full model change, has made an interesting evolution. In particular, the hybrid-only orientation shows a commitment to environmental consideration and sustainability. In addition, the sophisticated exterior design, including changes to the front design and adoption of a new lighting system, is also eye-catching. However, the discontinuation of the V6 engine model may be a little unsatisfying for some customers. Still, I think it has many advantages, such as a wide range of prices and improved fuel efficiency through the introduction of hybrid technology. Overall, it feels like Toyota’s Camry continues to evolve and become a more attractive option for users. Also, there may be many people who wish to reintroduce it to Japan.
