3 Reasons to Buy a New Toyota Camry

Coworkers carpooling to work in the 2019 Toyota Camry.
Toyota is famous for its line of mid-size sedans which have brought a new level of quality to consumers. The Camry, one of its flagship models, still continues to provide the quality and craftsmanship that has become an expectation over the years. The reasons to buy a new Camry are similar to those in the past. A new Camry provides the same trusted safety, comfort, efficiency, and technology that has been loved for generations.

1. Performance

The new Camry brings some surprising power to the table this year with either a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine or a 3.5-liter V-6. Both options bring more than adequate power when navigating the open highway. This year the Camry uses a direct fuel injection system that is selected based on driving conditions. This allows either engine to be impressively fuel-efficient. To go along with the new powerful engine, the suspension has also been upgraded to a strut front suspension. What this means is, when cornering, or even handling on an open highway, there is less play in the steering column caused by road friction. This allows for smoother handling and tighter steering, allowing the driver more control over the car's trajectory.

2. Design

This is certainly not your parent's Camry. The new Camry's exterior has a sleek, sporty look that could easily be mistaken for a luxury sedan or extravagant sports car. One of the new exterior features is a new Nightshade paint job. Everything on the car, including the wheels, is completely blacked out, with the exception of exterior LED lighting. With the new Camry, there is even a mesh-like grille with the Toyota logo visible, which gives the care more of a luxury feel. The interior design also features some new designs that will make your parent's Camry only a memory. There is an option for red leather cockpit seating, which blends flawlessly with the rest of the interior design. The incorporation of paddle shifters into the driver's cockpit also gives you the feeling of driving a sports car instead of a sedan.

3. Technology

The Camry also delivers with driver convenience and technology. The design of the car allows control right at the driver's fingertips so that the technology doesn't compete with the road for attention. Everything the driver needs to control the audio and camera systems is placed directly on the steering wheel for optimal safety. The new Camry comes with a push-button start, bird's-eye panoramic camera, and rear cross-traffic sonar which allows for intelligent braking. This means that it will sense objects in the rear-view or around the side of the vehicle and make the necessary adjustments automatically. The new Toyota Camry is the perfect combination of luxury, efficiency, and power. Anyone who has experienced the quality that comes from Toyota will be impressed by the steps taken to upgrade the Camry for the next generation. This new model has guaranteed that the Camry is not just a smart choice, but is fun, responsive, and exciting to drive as well.   Image used with permission via toyota.com / cropped from original

3 Reasons Why the Toyota Camry is an Enduring Model

The Toyota Camry has been in production for decades, and for good reason. Since the first front-wheel-drive Camry was introduced in 1983 in America, it has been out-performing the competition. Here's a look at why the Camry is one of the most enduring vehicles ever made. 1. Power Under the Hood The Camry has gone through many iterations, and each new model has been engineered with performance in mind. The 2019 Camry comes with two engine options, a 2.4-liter Dynamic Force 4-cylinder engine that is surprisingly responsive and a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that gives the Camry some real muscle. Both engines use Toyota's D-4S Direct Injection system which maximizes fuel efficiency by selecting the best injection method based on driving conditions. The result is speed and power while remaining fuel-efficient. more 2. Agility on the Road Knowing the road you're on is important, and Toyota understands where the Camry will be driving. Whether it's a suburban or urban commute or upcountry for the weekend, the Camry is designed for comfort. Equipped with a MacPherson strut front suspension and a sophisticated multi-link rear suspension, the Camry handles the stop and go commute and the curvy back roads with equal confidence. Toyota's Direct Shift Automatic 8-Speed Transmission also enhances the Camry's ride. Precision shifting, a lower center of gravity, and lightweight materials allow the Camry to ride smoother and with improved fuel efficiency. With three driver-selectable modes, the Camry can be tailored to the road or driver. Select Sport mode and hang on through the tight turns. Eco mode will get you there efficiently, automatically moderating throttle input. For the best of both worlds, you can select Normal mode, a seamless blend of efficiency and handling. The Camry also allows you to choose your own shift points on either the gear shift lever or the paddle shifters on the steering wheel, giving you the ultimate control of your driving experience. In the end, the Camry delivers an estimated 41 highway mpg, and that result speaks for itself. 3. Safety Always a hallmark of the Toyota Camry, safety continues to propel the Camry to the head of the pack. 2019 is no exception as the Camry comes standard with an Advanced Air Bag System that features dual-stage SRS driver and front passenger airbags and front and rear side-curtain airbags. With ten airbags overall, the Camry offers great protection in the event of a collision. The Camry also features the Star Safety System, a suite of six systems using cutting edge technology to keep you safer on the streets. Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control, Anti-Lock Brakes, Electronic Brake-Force Distribution, Brake Assist, and Smart Stop Technology all work unseen under the hood. Additional safety features like Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert expand your vision and can help reduce the risk of accidents and injury. All in all, the Camry continues to deliver, year after year, and now, decade after decade. Power, performance, efficiency, and safety are the reasons why. Come in and test drive one today and see for yourself why the Camry continues to endure. Image used with permission via toyota.com / cropped from original
