New Toyota Camry to be launched in mid March

Toyota Kirloskar Motors is all set to launch the new generation Toyota Camry in India. The new gen car made its Indian debut at the 2012 Auto Expo. This car was launched internationally last year and the new Camry should help Toyota regain the lost ground in D-segment. The Japanese carmaker plans to assemble the car in India for and this will be done in a move to come up with a more competitive price tag.
This generation of the Camry line-up for the Japanese domestic market has been reduced to a hybrid variant only. Other than the powertrain option, the Japanese market will now share the rest of the Camry model with our market. Earlier, Japanese market had the same model of Camry as the American. The Camry in India will be seen powered by a 2.5-Liter 4-cylinder DOHC 16-Valve Dual VVT-i engine. This motor pumps out 178 hp @ 6000 rpm. We do not expect to see the 268 hp, 3.5 liter V6 in India. While arch rival Honda was generous to us in this regard, we all know that the V6 version of this car has unfortunately next to no market in India. We expect the car to be here by mid-March. As of now, nothing much is known about the car’s features but safely expect us to update our dear readers as soon as we manage to find more on this subject.
