Toyota Camry launch on 24th August

The 8th Gen Toyota Camry will be launched on the 24th of this month. The new Camry is bigger in size and will come with a host of new features. Toyota will assemble the Camry at its Bidadi plant which means we could expect some aggressive pricing. The Camry will continue to be offered in the petrol variant and will get a 2.5 litre engine mated to a 6 Speed A/T with sequential shit.

The new Camry will have to offer higher value for money as compared to its competitors like the Honda Accord, Skoda Superb, Hyundai Sonata and the Volkswagen Passat.

Toyota plans to launch a number of limited editions of the Etios, Liva, Innova and Fortuner in the coming months.
