UK prices for the 2019 Toyota Camry

Finding customers for the new Camry four-door saloon is likely to be a tough task for Toyota. There’s nothing intrinsically wrong with the car, but right now SUVs and crossovers (preferably from a prestige brand) are what an ever-increasing number of buyers want.

Nevertheless, the Camry has two things in its favour.

The first is a self-charging (i.e. non-plug-in) hybrid powertrain. Combining a 2.5 litre, four-cylinder petrol engine and an electric motor, total output is rated at 215 bhp (160 kW / 217 PS). Just as importantly, up to 53.3 mpg (5.3 l/100km) on the WLTP combined cycle indicates diesel-rivalling efficiency.

The second is a generous specification. Standard equipment on the £29,995 Design variant includes leather upholstery, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, parking sensors, a reversing camera and a touchscreen-controlled infotainment system with satellite navigation.

Also fitted is the Toyota Safety Sense collection of driver aids. It comprises adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert, road sign recognition, automatic high beam activation, pre-collision preparation and pedestrian detection.

Alternatively, the £31,295 Excel gains LED dual-beam projector headlights, wireless device charging and a wheel upgrade from 17” to 18”. Furthermore, lane change assistance, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert and an intelligent clearance sonar are among this grade’s additional technologies.

In the UK, Camry orders can be placed from next month. Deliveries are due to begin in July.
