NEW CAMRY OFFERS ADDED COMFORT, FEATURES
Starting with an all-new chassis platform, the first for Camry in 10 years, Toyota was able to create a more boldly-styled sedan that adds a higher degree of comfort, convenience and safety to its improved performance. The interior is roomier and better equipped, with improved functional use of space. It is quieter, due to best-in-class aerodynamics and improvements to reduce NVH. It's also safer, with improved crashworthiness and additional safety features built in.

Wider and taller, with a wheelbase that is 50 mm (2 inches) longer, Camry's new platform permits a more spacious, inviting interior with a significantly raised hip-point for ease of entry. The additional space permits a greater range of seat positions for the comfort of front occupants, and XLE and SE Camrys provide new 8-way power front buckets with enhanced lumbar support. The seats are an all-new design that is both more comfortable and more supportive, with enhanced structural integrity for added safety.

Rear passengers gain 36 mm (1.5 inches) of legroom and all occupants enjoy more head-and shoulder-room. For added flexibility, the rear seat offers both a 60/40 split fold-down feature and a new, wider armrest.

Outside, Camry's new look starts with an aggressive grille and sharp-cut headlamps. The cabin and doors feature sleek character lines connected to a rear integrated bumper. The new SE was designed to offer a distinctly sportier style, with a sport grille, black headlamp masking, and fog lamps.
