Exterior design
The 2016 Toyota Camry has adopted the new Toyota global design, which is also featured in the latest Lexus models. If you prefer sports cars, then the 2016 Camry should be your pick. Its front is designed with a trapezoidal shared bumper, an expressive front grille, and new LED headlamps. The side profile is very much similar to the 2013 Toyota Camry. In fact, if you don’t examine closely, you won’t find any difference. At the rear, a new bumper and a set of elegant LED tail lights have been incorporated. In addition, the dual exhaust tips add to its overall sporty persona.
Interior design
Its interior space remains the same as the previous generation (2006 – 2011) because it rides on the same ‘Toyota K-Platform’. Nevertheless, there are some major improvements in the cabin. The seats, front dash and other elements inside are now crafted with better quality materials. The standard S and SE variants offer cloth fit and suede like material. However, if you desire a more luxury setting, opt for the SE+ and Limited versions, which have full leather and sport leather seats. Make your car even more comfortable by following these tips.
Another noticeable feature in the cockpit is a new display screen, added between the speedometer and tachometer, which aids in navigation and displays vital vehicle information. The driving seat is 8-way power adjustable with heating/cooling options to ensure maximum comfort for long journeys. For entertainment, the 6.1-inch infotainment display with Entune app suite and a premium audio system with Bluetooth connectivity and voice recognition system will keep you hooked throughout your excursion. The boot space measures 436 liters, which is large enough to carry the luggage of a standard family.
Engine specifications
The Camry is available with only one engine option. It is a 2.5-liter twin-cam four-cylinder engine that churns out 178 horsepower and 170 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine uses Dual VVT-I technology which helps in maintaining optimum fuel economy while keeping the emissions in check. It is paired to a 6-speed automatic gearbox.
Driving dynamics
The performance of the Toyota Camry 2016 has been refined compared to the 2013 and 2014 models, thanks to the new limited slip differential, which improves the handling of the car. A new modified suspension system has also been added along with upgraded shock absorbers, which enhance the overall drive quality. However, critics complain that its competitors such as Honda Accord render a more engaging performance. With the 2.5L powertrain, the 2016 Camry is capable of going from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.7 seconds. On a full throttle, the Camry can take you all the way to 194 km/h.
Fuel consumption
Toyota has been working constantly to improve the fuel economy rating of Camry. The 2008 Camry delivers around 8.2 L/100 KM (12.2 KM/L), while the 2010 Camry brings 8.5 L/100 KM (11.7 km/L) fuel economy on the table. The 2016 Toyota Camry consumes only 7.8L of fuel to cover 100 kilometers (14.29 KM/L).
Safety features
The 2016 Toyota Camry has received a Top Safety Pick+ award from IIHS. It encompasses some of the best high-end safety features ensuring the safety of both the driver and the car. The safety facilities comprise of blind spot monitoring, lane departure alert, dynamic radar cruise control, ten air bag system and smart stop technology.
Evolution
Toyota Camry’s interior space has not received a bump for many years, but older models differ in terms of facilities and driving comfort. The 2010 and 2009 Camry cars feature basic cabin materials, while the 2016 Camry has a soft-padded and luxury wooden trim. Additionally, the older 2010, 2011 and 2012 models do not feature lane-departure warning and collision mitigation, both of which can be found in the 2016 Toyota Camry. Although there is no difference in the powertrain, with the addition of a new suspension system and shock absorbers, the handling and the performance have become better. Interested in Toyota cars?
