Chronology
PredecessorToyota Camry (XV30)

The Toyota Camry XV40 is a mid-size car that has been produced by Toyota since 2006. Replacing the XV30 series, the XV40 represents the sixth generation of the Toyota Camry in all markets outside of Japan, which follows a different generational lineage.

Introduced at the 2006 North American International Auto Show, the XV40 made its North American sales debut in March 2006 as a 2007 model. For the first time, a gasoline/electric hybrid version of Camry has been offered in addition to the naturally-aspirated four- and six-cylinder engines.

Like the previous XV30 model, the XV40 is offered in two distinct forms. The Camry sold in Australasia and North America is the same as the version available in Japan. The version sold in Southeast Asia and China is based on the Australian-designed Toyota Aurion. The Aurion is essentially the same as the regular Camry, albeit, with revised front- and rear-end styling, and minor alterations to the interior.

Like the previous XV30, the design of the XV40 series Toyota Camry is split into two separate configurations: "regular" and "prestige".[1][2] The "regular Camry" is sold in Australasia,[3] Japan,[4] the Middle East,[5] and North America.[6] However, the "prestige Camry" is an Australian-designed model sold alongside the "regular Camry" in Australasia and the Middle East as the Toyota Aurion.[7][8] Southeast Asia and China also receive the Aurion, although it is badged "Toyota Camry" as the regular car is not offered those markets.[3]

Regular Camry

Making its debut at the January 2006 North American International Auto Show,[9] the XV40 Camry takes a sleeker shape when compared to its predecessor.[10][11] The design is based on Toyota's "vibrant clarity" corporate design language, with a three-bar grille and stepped hood and trunk.[12]

The XV40 was redesigned to incorporate a 55-millimeter (2 in) longer wheelbase,[13] wider wheel tracks, and a stiffer body.[14] Although overall length is equal to its predecessor, Toyota maximized interior volume—especially fore-and-aft space. This was achieved by moving the base of the windshield and rear glass outwards and by the redesigning of the front seats.[12][15] Cargo space was also reduced by 48 liters (1.7 cu ft) over the previous model,[16][17] with the hybrid version losing a further 71 liters (2.5 cu ft) due to the placement of the electric motor's battery.[18] The XV40's underbody is stepped, creating a venturi effect and hence a low-pressure area under the front end to increase downforce. Other aerodynamic design features include a stepped engine undercover and rear wheel fairings to channel airflow around the tires.[19] The coefficient of drag figure remains at 0.28, falling to 0.27 for the hybrid version.[20][21]

The sports-oriented model, known as the "SE" in North America and "Sportivo" in Australasia,[22] was developed by Toyota Australia.[19] It features a black "honeycomb" grille, black-tinted headlamps, body kit appendages, and a lower ride height coupled with wider and larger diameter wheels and tires.[23] To increase rear-end downforce, the SE/Sportivo includes additional rear floor and fuel tank undercovers.[19] Handling-specific upgrades see the use of firmer shock absorbers, a rise in spring rate, thicker anti-roll bars, additional floor and body side bracing, and a "V"-brace behind the rear seat (which prevents the rear seat from folding down, offering a ski-pass only).[24][25] In addition to the sports-oriented suspension setup, Toyota Australia's standard-grade suspension calibration has also been adopted by New Zealand, the Middle East and North America.[26] The suspension geometry consists of independent MacPherson struts, L-arms, coil springs, gas dampers and a ball-jointed stabilizer bar at the front, with the rear setup comprising dual-link independent MacPherson struts with coil springs, gas dampers and ball-jointed stabilizer bar.[27]

Toyota refreshed the "regular" Camry XV40 design in January 2009 at the North American International Auto Show. Visual changes include an updated front fascia, including grille and bumper with larger air intakes, larger projector headlamps, redesigned tail lamp lenses incorporating LEDs on all models (previously hybrids only[28]), and revised wheel trims among other design changes.[29][30] The interior received revised trim, improved power window switches, and a revamped audio system.[30] The audio system now supports satellite radio (in North America) and added USB connectivity, with the dashboard-mounted screen now integrating a backup camera for models fitted with satellite navigation.[31]

Prestige Camry (Aurion)

Main article: Toyota Aurion
Toyota Aurion Prodigy (Australia)

The Camry sold in Southeast Asia and China is referred to as the "prestige Camry" by Toyota officials in Japan.[1] The prestige Camry is a rebadged Toyota Aurion, an Australian-designed vehicle based on the regular Camry.[32] The Aurion shares its body sides (including doors and rear quarters), greenhouse, and roof with the regular Camry.[3] This component sharing also means that Aurion has the same wheelbase, axle tracks, and interior dimensions. From the inside, the Aurion also shares a common interior design, which differs from the Camry with a redesigned instrument panel top half and a foot-operated parking brake.[33][34]

Like the Camry, the Aurion was designed with Toyota's "vibrant clarity" design language. However, the Aurion also integrates a "vibrant clarity" theory known as "perfect imbalance". This involves body features that act as a counter-point to other body features. Examples of this include intersecting concave and convex surfaces and vertical sculpted features on the front fascia, which are balanced by the horizontal headlamps.[35] The front-end's "double concave architecture" can also be characterised by its rich bonnet crease line and deep grille. The same architecture is applied at the rear, with a deep bumper, a clamshell-shaped boot lid that envelops over the flanks, dual exhaust pipes and jewelled tail lamps.[36]

Hybrid

For a complete explanation of the Camry Hybrid drivetrain, see Hybrid Synergy Drive.
Toyota Camry Hybrid (US; pre-facelift)

The XV40 is the first Camry series that has been available with a gasoline/electric hybrid drivetrain (see: below). Known as the "Toyota Camry Hybrid", the gasoline–electric model premiered in January 2006—alongside the non-hybrid car.[37] Camry Hybrids were initially built solely at the Tsutsumi plant[38] in Toyota, Aichi, Japan,[39] although the hybrid has never been available for purchase in its home market.[40] Since October 2006, models for the North American market shifted production to Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky in the United States.[41] Toyota Australia began local manufacture of the hybrid on December 11, 2009 at its Altona, Victoria plant.[42] In Australasia, the car is known as the "Toyota Hybrid Camry", as opposed to "Camry Hybrid".[43] Since May 2009, the hybrid model has also been produced at Toyota Motor Thailand's Gateway plant in Chachoengsao.[44] Unlike the Camry Hybrid models produced elsewhere, the Thai models are based on the "prestige Camry" design.[45] As of August 2009, worldwide sales of the Camry Hybrid represent 8.3 percent of Toyota's total hybrid sales, ranking second after the Toyota Prius, with more than 167,000 Camry Hybrids sold.[46] As of December 2009 cumulative sales of the Camry Hybrid had reached 154,977 units in the US, placing it as the third best selling electric hybrid car in that market.[47]

Compared to the gasoline-only variants, several features are unique to the hybrid. In addition to the hybrid powertrain, the Camry Hybrid employs electric power steering, brakes, and air conditioning that are fully operational once the internal combustion engine is deactivated.[48] The car can run in an all-electric mode, gasoline-only or both. A real-time dashboard screen shows power distribution and the operation of the hybrid system and the tachometer is replaced by an analog fuel economy readout.[49][50] The hybrid drivetrain has also necessitated a redesigned front subframe, along with remodeled rear and center floor pressings.[49] This was required to accommodate the battery pack, which is stowed in the trunk.[51][52] Other differences include wheel spats and underbody pans which reduce aerodynamic drag from 0.28 to 0.27 cd,[21][53] an "Eco" operating mode for the HVAC system that reduces the output of air conditioning to assist fuel economy,[54] and Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM).[50] Cosmetic changes are limited to redesigned tail lights with LEDs,[29][55] a chrome-lined grille, as opposed to the color-coded version on every other Camry trim,[56] and hybrid-oriented emblems including "Hybrid" badging on the front fenders and a decklid-mounted "Hybrid Synergy Drive" logo.[57]

For the face-lifted version that debuted in January 2009, Toyota worked to better differentiate the styling of the hybrid away from the rest of the Camry range.[30] This was achieved by fitting a distinct front fascia with a large, central air dam, vertically slotted fog lamps, and a single-blade grille.[58] From the rear, the tail lamps abstain from the primarily red lens inserts fitted previously to predominantly clear lenses,[59] while the interior receives a newly designed fuel economy gauge.[60]

For market-specific Camry Hybrid information, see below.

Powertrain

Powertrain options for the Camry comprise of both four- and six-cylinder engines along with manual and automatic transmissions. The entry-level engine is a 2.4 liter 2AZ-FE four-cylinder in front-wheel drive configuration available with manual and automatic transmissions, both five-speed units.[61] For the Japanese market only, an all-wheel drive variant of the 2.4 liter engine is available, although the sole transmission fitted is a four-speed automatic. All other XV40 series Camrys utilize front-wheel drive.[62] In North America, from January 2009 production, the 2.4 liter powerplant was replaced by the 2.5 liter 2AR-FE engine and brought new six-speed manual and automatic transmissions.[63] The top-level powertrain combination is a 3.5 liter 2GR-FE V6 engine paired exclusively to a six-speed automatic.[64]

Toyota also offers a hybrid electric version of the 2.4 liter engine, designated 2AZ-FXE that employs the Atkinson cycle to maximize fuel economy.[65] The hybrid utilizes Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD) system and is fitted with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) in lieu of a conventional automatic.[66] The gasoline engine produces 110 kilowatts (150 hp) and 187 newton-metres (138 lb⋅ft) of torque,[67] with the 650 volt electric motor providing 105 kilowatts (141 hp) and 270 newton-metres (200 lb⋅ft). Working in conjunction, both powerplants produce a total combined output of 140 kilowatts (190 hp), however, due to the intricacy of quantifying a combined torque figure, Toyota has not provided one.[68] The battery pack utilized by the hybrid version is a trunk-mounted nickel-metal hydride unit, weighing in at about 70 kilograms (150 lb). Approximately 135 kilograms (298 lb) of hybrid hardware is fitted to the car in total. However, Toyota claims this is negated by the increased output courtesy of the electric motor that actually improves acceleration by an estimated 15 percent over the non-hybrid 2.4 liter, five-speed automatic variant.[49] At the 2008 LA Auto Show, Toyota unveiled a compressed natural gas (CNG)-powered hybrid electric version.[69] While this vehicle remained a concept, Toyota in 1999 offered a four-cylinder, non-hybrid CNG-powered XV20 Camry in California to fleet customers.[70]

Safety

Toyota improved the Camry's safety by increasing the XV40's structural rigidity.[72] This has been achieved through the application of ultra high-tensile steel, which is hot-stamped to the Camry's roof, A- and B-pillars, and rocker panels. The structure of the front seats mounts have been designed to transfer side collision impact loads across the car.[73]

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) awarded the Camry sedan an overall rating of "Good" in both frontal offset and side impact crash tests.[74] Both tests also receive the "good" rating in all 14 measured categories,[75][76] and is also rated "good" in the roof strength test with a 5.31 strength-to-weight ratio withstanding a peak force of 7,978 kilograms (17,588 lb).[77] The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) rated the XV40 the full five star rating for the frontal driver, frontal passenger, side driver, and side rear passenger tests, and a four-star rating for the rollover test.[78] Testing conducted by the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) resulted in the Camry XV40 receiving a four-star safety rating or a score of 27.53 out of 37. The model tested by ANCAP was fitted with dual frontal airbags.[79]

Recalls

Main article: 2009–2010 Toyota vehicle recalls

On September 26, 2007, Toyota recalled the optional "all-weather" heavy-duty rubber floor mats from 2007 and 2008 model year Toyota Camry XV40s sold in North America.[80] Toyota issued a second recall on November 2, 2009 asking owners to remove the driver floor mat and not replace it with any other type of mat.[81] Toyota extended its floor mat recall on November 25 to reconfigure the accelerator pedal, replace the all-weather floor mats, and install a brake override system to prevent sudden unintended acceleration.[82] Toyota issued a fourth unwanted acceleration-related recall for the Camry on January 21, 2010, this time in response to reports of accelerator pedals sticking in models without floor mats.[83] Evaluations by Car and Driver and Edmunds found that the Camry's brakes were powerful enough to overcome the accelerator in all tests, bringing the car safely to a stop.[84][85]

Market

Daihatsu Altis (Japan; pre-facelift)

Toyota Camry XV40s are produced at the Tsutsumi Plant in Toyota, Aichi, Japan;[86][87] the Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky production site at Georgetown, Kentucky in the United States;[88] Toyota Australia's facility in Altona, Victoria;[89] and Shushary, Saint Petersburg, Russia since December 2007.[90] On April 20, 2007, additional U.S. Camry manufacturing began at Subaru of Indiana Automotive in Lafayette, Indiana.[91] A Camry manufactured in Japan is denoted with a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) starting with "J"; U.S.-made models are denoted with a numeral.[92]

Australasia

The Australian-market version of the XV40 Camry made its media debut on July 25, 2006.[93] Produced at the Toyota Australia plant in Altona, Victoria,[94] Australian-manufactured XV40s are also exported to New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, although the majority of exports go to the Middle East.[95] As of 2008, the Camry is the best selling Australian-produced vehicle, when taking into account all sales, both domestic and exports.[96]

Toyota Camry Sportivo (Australia; pre-facelift)

For the first time since 1988, the Camry is marketed in Australasia with a four-cylinder engine only. This decision was made as the Toyota Aurion—a model which derives from the Camry—is offered in V6 configuration only.[97] This two-tier strategy goes against Toyota Australia's previous formula of offering four- and six-cylinder engines in the mid-size Camry alongside the larger six-cylinder Avalon.[98]

The simplified Australian model range consists of the "Altise", "Sportivo", "Ateva", and "Grande".[99]

  • Ateva: models add (over Altise) 16-inch alloy wheels, a chrome grille surround, fog lamps, dual zone climate control air conditioning, side and curtain airbags, a six-stack CD audio system, power-adjustable front seats, automatic headlamps, trip computer and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, gear and handbrake levers.[100]
Toyota Camry Altise (Australia; facelift)

VSC was not available across the range until August 2007, where it became standard on all variants.[101] In May 2008, the Grande variant received a change in specification to the same set of alloy wheels as the "Sportivo" variant, [102] as opposed to the previous style shared with the "Ateva" grade.[103] Toyota released the "Ateva L" at the same time as this running change. The limited edition "Ateva L" added a rear lip spoiler, "Sportivo" alloy wheels, and leather trim.[102][104] A second limited edition XV40, the "Touring" was launched in April 2009 based on and priced identically to the automatic transmission-equipped "Altise". The "Touring" added 17-inch alloy wheels, the "Sportivo" grille, a chrome exhaust outlet, front fog lamps, a six-disc CD changer, dual zone climate control air conditioning, and a leather steering wheel, handbrake and gear selection lever.[105]

Further equipment upgrades arrived on July 20, 2009 when the facelifted Australian range went on sale. All variants now offered six airbags, Bluetooth, an auxiliary audio-input jack for the sound system, sun visor lamps and seatback pockets. The "Ateva" grade received a new audio system with 4.3-inch color LCD incorporating a rear-view camera, while the "Sportivo" variant gained the same LCD and dual-zone climate control. Upgrades for the "Grande" comprised keyless entry and starting system, rear parking sensors, an electrochromatic rear-view mirror, backup camera, and an upgraded sound system.[106] From March 2010 production, alloy wheels were made as standard fitment to the base "Altise".[107] The limited edition "Touring" was re-launched the following June, this time adding a reversing camera, a rear lip spoiler, and manual transmission availability over the previous release.[108]

Toyota Hybrid Camry (Australia; facelift)

As part of the Australian Government's "Green Car Innovation Fund", Toyota received a A$35 million grant in June 2008 to guarantee the commencement of local production of the hybrid powertrain Camry.[109] Prior to release, Toyota Australia displayed an official concept model, the "HC-CV" (Hybrid Camry Concept Vehicle) at the 2009 Melbourne International Motor Show.[110] The "HC-CV" is distinguished from the facelifted Hybrid Camry design from which it is based by the inclusion of a modified front-end fascia, redesigned wheels and side skirts, a custom rear spoiler, and leather upholstery incorporating the "Hybrid Synergy Drive" logo.[111] Full-scale production began on December 11, 2009,[112] after a small batch of pre-production vehicles were produced from August 31.[113] Toyota released the Hybrid Camry for sales in Australia during February 2010,[114] with plans to sell an estimated 10,000 units per year.[115] After its release, the Hybrid Camry became the first Australian-built vehicle to be rated the top five star grading on the Australian Government's "Green Vehicle Guide".[116]

The hybrid model is offered in two levels of trim, equivalent to the mid-range "Ateva" and luxury "Grande" gasoline-only variants.[117]

  • Hybrid: equipped identically to the "Ateva", except for the omission of electric front seats and the addition of reversing sensors and keyless entry/start.[100][118] An option pack sees the addition of a premium eight-speaker sound system, Bluetooth connectivity, and satellite navigation.[118]
  • Hybrid Luxury: gains leather interior trim, power-adjustable front seats, rain-sensing wipers, an electro-chromatic rear-view mirror and a rear lip spoiler. An option pack for the "Luxury" includes equipment of the aforementioned "base" option pack, plus a sunroof and further rear interior lighting.[118]

Japan

Daihatsu continued with its twin Altis model for the Japanese market. The third generation Altis was introduced January 2006, and continued to be available with the 2.4 liter four-cylinder engine. Visually, the Altis is identical to the JDM Toyota Camry, with only the badging unique to the Daihatsu. For Japanese models only, G-BOOK, a subscription telematics service, is offered as an option.

North America

Toyota Camry XLE (US; pre-facelift)

In North America, the Camry comes with a standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine or an optional 3.5-liter V6. The base model (“CE” in Canada and the United States for 2007 only) is not available with the V6. The 2.4-liter comes standard with a five-speed manual transmission, a five-speed automatic is optional on the base and SE trims, standard on LE and XLE. The XLE includes features such as leather upholstery, woodgrain trim, dual-zone climate control, and a 6-disc in-dash CD player. The 4-cylinder base and LE have 16-inch steel wheels standard, with alloy wheels available as an option. XLE trim comes with standard 16-inch alloy wheels, while the SE sports 17-inch wheels. New features to the Camry include an optional ion air purifier type filtration system and Smart Key System with push-button start. For 2010, a backup camera became optional on the XLE trim.

The SE (Sport Edition), priced between the LE and XLE, differs from the rest of the Camry trims with 5-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels, a sport-tuned suspension, light blue trimmed Optitron illumination for the gauges, exclusive dark charcoal sport fabric or leather seats, a leather wrapped three-spoke steering wheel, lip spoiler, side skirts, blacked-out grille, and fog lamps. The SE's chassis offers 15%-higher spring rates, special dampers/shocks, a stiffer front anti-roll bar, and stiffer bushings on the rear suspension. A power moonroof is optional on the LE and SE, and comes standard on the other Camry models. To create a more rigid structure for SE and XLE models a V-brace behind the rear seat (prevents rear seat fold-down, ski-pass only) and thicker body-side brackets are added. The updated 2010 model also has an optional limited-slip differential and TRD-tuned exhaust system on SE trim.

Toyota Camry XLE (US; facelift)

The Camry comes factory-equipped with dual frontal airbags, front seat-mounted side torso airbags, front and rear row side curtain airbags, and a driver's knee airbag. Other standard safety include a tire-pressure monitoring system, anti-lock brakes, brake assist, and electronic brakeforce distribution.[119] While Vehicle Stability Control and Traction Control were initially exclusive to V6 and hybrid cars for the 2007-08 model years, these features were offered on every Camry model for 2009 save for the 4-cylinder LE which has these as part of the Convenience package. The 2010 face-lifted models, sold starting in April 2009, have stability and traction control standard. The facelifted Camry began production in January 2009 and went on sale in March 2009 in the United States for the 2010 model year.[120] The new 2.5 liter straight-4 engines replace the previous 2.4 liter four-cylinder in non-hybrid models. A more powerful version is exclusive to the Camry SE, and Toyota's Smart Key System is now available for the SE (previously only available to the XLE).

Sales in the United States, the primary market for the Camry, significantly increased in the year following release. In April 2007, Toyota began producing additional Camry models at Subaru of Indiana Automotive in Lafayette, Indiana. In a Cars.com American-Made Index study, the Camry was ranked highest,[121] all models sold in the US are assembled there.[122]

Consumer Reports 2007 Annual Car Reliability Survey gave the V6 version of the Camry a "below average" rating, due to transmission issues thus removing the V6 Camry from Consumer Reports' "Recommended" list. This rating does not apply to the four cylinder and hybrid versions, which continued to be recommended. However, these problems have been corrected, and the V6 version has improved to "average".[123]

The Camry Hybrid is very similar to the XLE, but has standard cloth seats, the hybrid powertrain, and VDIM. To commemorate 50 years of Toyota sales in the United States, Toyota built a special edition 2007 Camry Hybrid. The 50th Anniversary Edition was limited to 3,000 units and features unique wheels and badging, and is painted exclusively in the "Blizzard Pearl" color.[124] The Hybrid Camry has also received two awards in North America: the 2007 Green Car of the Year awarded by Green Car Journal,[125] and the 2007 Car of the Year in the Family Sedan (over CA$30,000) category awarded by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada.[126]

Green taxicab service at Arlington, Virginia provided by a Toyota Camry Hybrid.

When released, the EPA rated the hybrid about 27 percent more economical on the combined cycle compared to the non-hybrid 2.4 liter automatic version.[127] United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) fuel economy ratings for the 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid are 40 mpg‑US (5.9 L/100 km; 48 mpg‑imp) (City) and 38 mpg‑US (6.2 L/100 km; 46 mpg‑imp) (Highway). EPA’s revised method of estimating fuel economy for 2008 and subsequent model years, which now considers the effects of air conditioning, rapid acceleration and cold temperatures, estimates 33 mpg‑US (7.1 L/100 km; 40 mpg‑imp)(City) and 34 mpg‑US (6.9 L/100 km; 41 mpg‑imp) (Highway).[128]

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has certified the Camry Hybrid as AT-PZEV, while the EPA has assigned it a Tier II, Bin 3 score for most states a cleaner version is sold to CARB states.[129] The hybrid also meets the U.S. Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) standards which means it produces minimal emissions of hydrocarbons, nitrous oxides and carbon monoxide, and up to year model 2010 it had an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) "Greenhouse Gas Score" of 9.5 for California and 8.0 for federal certified vehicles.[130]

In North America, the Camry Hybrid has benefited from several government incentives relating to taxation and special provisions in carpool lanes. (See: hybrid tax credit and government incentives for fuel efficient vehicles in the United States for more information.)
