The Camry remains one of Toyota’s top-selling cars. The 2018 model, however, looks much different than the Camry you are probably familiar with. It is redesigned and boasts new features that are worth exploring.
Power
The 2018 Toyota Camry has three new engine choices. The standard choice is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 206 horsepower. You can upgrade for a little more power to the available 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 208 horsepower. For maximum power, opt for the available 3.5-liter V-6 engine that kicks out 301 horsepower. There is also a hybrid option available.
The changes do not stop with the engine. You are also likely to notice an increased performance when compared to previous models, due to a tighter chassis and new double-wishbone style suspension. A brand-new eight-speed automatic transmission is also featured in all 2018 Camry trim levels. The SE and XSE trim levels get an added sporty performance with upgraded leather paddle shifters.
Exterior Design
The 2018 Camry does not only sport a new engine setup, but also an upgraded exterior. The entire body frame is different — lower to the ground and longer than it was before. The exterior also boasts new, sleek lines that run throughout the length of the body, as well as a larger front grille. This new exterior design does not only improve the overall look of the car, but it also gives it an upgraded aerodynamic performance.
Interior Design
The interior of the 2018 Toyota Camry has taken on a bolder look. You can opt for the bright Tarantino red soft-touch leather seats for a unique look that makes a statement. The rest of the interior is designed with leather and wood accent points.
The 2018 Camry did hold onto one of its most appealing features though — its spaciousness. This large sedan can handle up to 15.1 cubic feet of cargo space and also features additional storage compartments throughout the interior of the cabin.
The 2018 Camry stays current with the latest technological advancements, offering a 7-inch Bluetooth-capable Entune 3 system. This touch-screen infotainment system gives the driver easy access to the vehicle’s most important controls. There is also an 8-inch Entune 3 system available.
Safety
Toyota has made it a point to offer standard safety features in all of its newer cars. The 2018 Toyota Camry comes standard with 10 interior airbags, anti-lock brakes, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, and lane departure warning. The brighter LED headlights improve visibility, while also giving the Camry a more modern look.
Optional safety upgrades include blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic warning system, and a 360-degree camera system. The advanced clearance sonar feature continually monitors the area surrounding the Camry. If a potential collision is identified, it can activate the brakes, bringing you to a stop much sooner. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has already rated the 2018 Toyota Camry as one of its top safety picks.
With more powerful engine choices, a luxury interior, and a stylish design, the Toyota Camry refresh is quite impressive. Come by Smart Toyota today to test-drive the popular 2018 Toyota Camry.
