Toyota has released an all-new seventh-generation Toyota Camry in Australia that debuts a contemporary design with improved driving dynamics and a more spacious interior.
The base model Altise and range-topping Atara SL retain their old prices, while the Atara S is $1000 more than the Ateva and the Atara SX is $2000 more than the Sportivo.
The Altise produces 133kW of power and 231Nm of torque, while the Atara models get an extra 2kW/4Nm for a total output of 135kW and 235Nm.
The 2012 Toyota Camry Altise is equipped with 16-inch alloy wheels (full-size steel spare wheel), a trip computer with Eco indicator, and an upgraded six-speaker sound system with steering wheel controls, Bluetooth phone and audio streaming, and AUX port, and USB input with iPod connectivity.
The Atara SX gets a sports suspension tune, leather door trims and interior accents, sports pedals, rear spoiler, unique rear bumper and dark-tinted headlights.
Built in Australia, new Toyota Camry features expanded safety features, a more comfortable ride, better handling and added refinement, including an even quieter cabin.
Atara models have unique styling, including the lower-body design, a sporty mesh upper grille, prominent side skirts and twin exhausts.
Price increases for Atara S (replaces Ateva) and Atara SX (Sportivo) are outweighed by added features.
Toyota Camry has been Australia's number-one selling fleet
vehicle in the medium segment for 17 years running.
"The new Camry Altise will feature all the inherent qualities that the previous model had.
"In addition we have the new Camry Atara range to provide even more options for fleet customers and improve driver satisfaction."
Toyota Camry Atara is designed to expand the appeal of Australia's best-selling mid-size car to even more customers.
Toyota Australia's senior executive director sales and marketing David Buttner said Atara embues Camry with the added style and sophistication these customers expect.
The new models are Atara S (replacing Ateva), Atara SX (Sportivo) and Atara SL (Grande).
Bolder, more advanced styling is the hallmark of new-generation Camry.
Special attention was paid to increasing the level of differentiation between Toyota Camry Altise and Atara.
A character line on the Atara SX rear bumper matches the design of the vehicle's front end.
Local designers at Toyota Style Australia (TSA) were responsible for the interior fabrics and colour and trim of the new Camry and Atara range.
Toyota Australia will cut a full litre from the combined-cycle fuel economy of its next-generation Camry sedan.
"Toyota's estimates show that the new engine could reduce the amount of fuel consumed across the Camry fleet by more than 20 million litres per year.
On Toyota Camry Atara models, the twin exhausts gain an extra 2kW - an overall percentage increase of 15.4 per cent.
Torque is improved from 218Nm to to 231Nm for Camry - or 235Nm with the twin exhausts - including substantial increases in the mid range.
Greater efficiency, reduced friction losses and improved combustion in the new Camry engine deliver better performance while using less fuel.
It delivers high power output and improved fuel efficiency by ensuring high air flow and intake tumble flow.
New-generation Toyota Camry has an all-new chassis package designed to provide increased stability and agility, coupled with a flat ride, high-quality damping feel and improved steering feel.
Camry has a new aerodynamic package, increased body and steering system rigidity, newly adopted electric power steering and improved tyre performance.
Camry's new tyres reduce rolling resistance and increase grip in wet and dry conditions.
Performance has been improved in braking, ride and handling.
New-generation Toyota Camry has a range of aerodynamic improvements designed to increase down-force while maintaining front/rear balance.
Camry's new upper-body aerodynamics include the Toyota first of stabilising air-flow fins on the exterior mirror mount.
Camry also has a new fin on the rear combination lamp to increase stability.
Both sets of fins increase Camry's flat-ride quality.
Toyota's local test centre calibrated new-generation Camry's steering, ride and handling to suit Australia's unique conditions, such as undulating country roads and coarse-chip road surfaces.
The new Toyota Camry electric power-assisted steering calibration is similar to the Camry Hybrid EPS calibration, but is retuned to suit the petrol model's different mass distribution.
In a Toyota first, Camry Atara SL has a system to warn the driver if there is a vehicle in the 'blind spot' on either side.
Camry's passive safety has been further boosted by the vehicle's stronger body.
Camry's suite of active safety systems includes vehicle stability control, traction control and ABS with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist.
Toyota's new-generation Camry has increased stopping power and improved brake feel.
Toyota Camry's brake-control hardware has been completely redesigned to give the driver a more secure and confident feeling when braking.
The improved braking grip of Camry's new tyres also contributes to reduced stopping distances.
New-generation Toyota Camry has improved driving comfort, instruments and storage capacity.
Camry has an improved seat design that is 30mm taller for increased back support, with a new seat frame for improved ride comfort.
