“BEYOND EXCELLENCE” is what Toyota folks call the 2010 Camry as. The dazzling head lamps and the aerodynamic curve give it an upper hand over the cars of its segment. Equally poised between stylish exteriors and spacious interiors, the Camry provides excellent head and leg space.
Independent AC controls, interactive dash board and the cruise control (though not suited for Indian roads) make it more commendable. There is ample storage space and don’t worry that has not spoiled the plush interiors.
The stability control, which reduces the lateral skidding by controlling the engine output and braking power, large diameter disc brakes SRS airbags and the ABS features add to the safety of the automotive.
With a 16 valve DOHC VVTi engine 4 cylinders arranged inline and a compression ratio of 9.8:1, you can expect a maximum output of 123(167)/6000 kW(PS)/rpm. Powered by a 5 speed gear and a hydraulic power steering, the Camry features a 70L fuel tank and 5.5m minimum turning radius.
As an add-on to the usual interiors, Camry provides Hands free kit and a Child seat as well. If you are on a look out for a fuel-economic high end car, you can just wonder how much good the Camry would do. But, be rest assured that the fuel economy of the 2010 Camry would be far better than the current model.
