Toyota Camry: The Global Sedan Best-seller
1. Overview
Overall, things to spot easily from Toyota Camry make it an excellent choice for all: sporty performance, exceptional handling, and a long list of technology and safety features. Considered as luxury midsize cars in many parts of the world, Toyota Camry has gone through 10 generations. Each generation witnesses major face-lift that matches the design trend at the time. As our most Camry for sale, 2017 variants possess the best sporty looking, blowing a brand new feel to any die-hard Toyota fans. New platform focuses on driver’s enjoyment and dynamics - two factors not often related to the traditional Toyota Camry.
Four-cylinder engine provides adequate power for common use and is relatively smooth and quiet. For better acceleration, the optional six-cylinder is surprisingly capable and is just slightly fuel-thirstier than the four-cylinder engine.
2. Exterior Magnificence
For 2017 models, there are two design styles to choose from: standard and sporty. Things are pretty much the same but everything’s gotten bigger, more aggressive and more distorted.
Here are some basic exterior measurements of 2017 models that we sell the most:
Wheelbase | 2,820 mm (111.2 in) |
Length | 4,880 mm (192.1 in) |
Width | 1,840 mm (72.4 in) |
Height | 1,450 mm (56.9 in) |
The front view features a massive wide grille which sits in the middle of the front face. This unique grille is the most impressive on the front view, looking really threatening, but sporty, and gives out a likable thrilling feel to any auto-heads. It gives the Camry a proud and jutting jawline that look like a bearded gentleman’s handsome face. The bonnet center part, which frames the Toyota badge, stretches to the edge, joining newly restyled and thinner headlights.
Moreover, the roof is 25mm lower, while the bonnet is 40mm lower - both of which make a lower, sleeker, aerodynamically faster Camry beast. The rear and side view are so neat so clean, and lastly so cool with the muscular but smooth contour that feel architecturally designed. The tail lights are longer, and stretch to the two sides of the car. New design overall makes the 2017 Toyota Camry look like a giant shiny bullet striding on the highways.
The Camry rides on 17-, 18- or 19-inch alloy-wheels, with a space-saver spared one tucked into its large boot.
3. Interior Comforts
One of the Camry's best features is its interior, which can accommodate five people in supportive, comfortable seats. The airy and spacious cabin is the true premium travel comfort as well. With available upgrades like power adjustable seating and automatic climate control, Toyota Camry can even push the ultimate travel experience beyond the boundary.
2017 model is 30-46mm longer and its wheelbase is 50mm longer, allowing for the genuinely huge cabin, especially more impressive legroom in the backseat and thus more legroom adjusted just for long-legged riders at the front seats.
Up front, two cup holders and USB ports and hidden power sources can ease any long tiring ride. Backseat riders share another two cup holders hidden in the pull-down divider.
From the cool and fancy dashboard, there’s a smooth and swirling dash that looks architecturally designed and runs all the way down to the front seat. It creates the feel of defining the driver’s private space. The boot is surely spacious though.
For entertainment and connectivity, the Camry can link your smartphone to the onboard system to stream apps like Pandora®, Slacker, iHeartRadio, and Yelp®. This is featured in every trim, along with a navigation app that instructs you turn-by-turn directions through the touchscreen.Other features include wireless smartphone charging to ensure your battery is ready all the time.
