The headlight cluster gets a revised edition with multiple projector lamps. These lights promise to have a longer life and consume lesser power. The Blue Toyota logo on the radiator grille also symbolizes the same. The chrome single slat radiator grille makes it look very rich and premium also it scores more points when compared to the standard model. The Camry continues to be a visual delight to look at with its relaxed overhangs. It is 4825mm long in length and 1825mm in width. The Camry Hybrid looks visually better than the standard version and also with the revisited elements on the body makes it looks more premium and plush. Toyota might have delayed its Lexus launch but then we surely are getting some hints of things to expect in future.

The front dashboard design is modern and the steering
wheel now gets steering mounted controls to control the media, Volume and phone
options. The steering wheel feels a bit smaller but is done very neatly in
leather and wooden finish. Wooden finished trims flow all over the cabin in
tasteful proportions. 8 way fully electrical front row
seats stitched in premium quality leather and the dual tone interiors
complemented with wooden trims throughout assure that this time too Toyota has
kept passenger comfort as the main priority in the interior design. The
on board music system is decent and does not have the amazing audio quality as
some of its competitors offer. The music system comes with 6 speakers with a
touchscreen compatible screen as well as USB and AUX-in plug in options. The
user interface of the touch screen could have been better than the one being
presently used. However, the utility aspect of it is nice as it is very
convenient and easy to use.
