Toyota Unveils All-new 2007 Camry and Camry Hybrid at Detroit Motor Show

TOKYO — Toyota unveiled the all-new 2007 Camry and Camry Hybrid during a press conference at the 2006 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), which takes place in Detroit.

The Camry, America's best-selling car four years running and eight of the past nine years, is completely new for 2007 as Toyota engineers and designers follow a strategy that refuses to take continued success for granted. In an effort to redefine the Camry, Toyota chose to expand the brand's very definition and in the process create a new benchmark for sedans. Designers rethought every aspect of the Camry, from its chassis to its body, interior, accessories and drivetrain. The result is a world-class sedan that not only redefines global standards for comfort, performance and intelligent design, but is also available, for the first time, with Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive.

As interested as drivers will be in Camry's enhanced performance, refinement, value and style, they'll also be interested in its fuel-economy numbers. The standard four-cylinder CE model has U.S. EPA-estimated city/highway fuel economy ratings of 24/34. The Camrys equipped with V6 engines have EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 22 mpg city/31 mpg highway, while the Camry hybrid has fuel economy ratings of 43 mpg city/37 mpg highway.
