Toyota Camry 2010
The Toyota Camry is the best-selling sedan in the U.S. The Camry is known for its comfortable interior and gentle ride quality. It is far from the sportiest offering in the midsize class. The Camry is a front-wheel drive, five-passenger, four-door sedan featuring four trims: Base, LE, SE, and XLE. All Camry models are available with a new 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, which replaces a 2.4-liter engine.
Base, LE, and XLE have 169 hp, while the SE has 179 hp. A 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission is available. The Hybrid continues to team a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder gas engine with a battery-powered electric motor for 187 hp. Like Toyota’s other hybrids, it runs on one or both of its power sources depending on driving conditions and requires no plug-in charging. It uses a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).
Camry also has an upgraded standard powertrain for 2010. A new 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine equipped with variable valve timing with intelligence (VVT-i) will produce 169 hp for Camry, LE and XLE grades. For sporty performance, SE grade get additional tuning and gets 179 horsepower, 21 more horsepower than the previous four-cylinder engine. The new engine can be combined with a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic transmission with sequential shift. A powerful 3.5-liter V6 delivering 268 horsepower is also available.
Two new four-cylinder engines are available. For the first time on a Camry, they team with a six-speed automatic transmission to help improve fuel economy; a six-speed manual is standard. The SE uses a more powerful engine than base, LE and XLE models; it makes 179 horsepower instead of 169 hp.
Base models have new front styling, including a redesigned grille with chrome trim and new, larger headlights.
Exterior changes to the gas model Camry include a newly designed grille and front bumper, an enlarged lower intake, larger projector headlamps and restyled tail lamps. The Camry and LE grades feature restyled standard wheel covers. The XLE grade will run on new 16-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels, while the SE grade adds new 17-inch sporty alloy wheels.
Buyers of the four-cylinder engine will have a choice of six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmissions, while those who opt for the V6 will get the six-speed automatic with sequential mode to allow drivers to shift manually if they desire.
The interior features a newly designed gas mileage gauge, and the center display not only features an optional voice-activated DVD navigation system, but hybrid power flow and ECO Level gauges. An AM/FM CD player with MP3/WMA playback capability, auxiliary audio jack and six speakers are standard, while a JBL AM/FM 6-disc CD player with eight speakers, satellite radio and Bluetooth capability are available. Standard features include dual-zone automatic climate controls, a leather-wrapped tilt/telescopic steering wheel (with audio controls), trip computer, a universal garage door opener, High Solar Energy-Absorbing (HSEA) glass, and a multi-function remote keyless entry and starting system.
A moonroof and leather seats (with heated upgrades for front passengers) are optional. There’s good back support with the eight-way power-adjustable seats, and soft seat cushions made my long drives doable, even with the SE’s stiff suspension. For a sport model, the SE’s front seats don’t have aggressive side bolstering to keep you from sliding around, but carving corners isn’t the Camry’s strong suit, so it’s not a deal-breaker.
The Camry, LE, and XLE all ride on standard 16-inch steel or aluminum wheels while the sportier SE model is equipped with 17-inch, six-spoke aluminum wheels as standard.
Standard equipment includes air conditioning, power windows and door locks, color-keyed side mirrors, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, and a six-speaker 160-watt AM/FM/CD audio system with auxiliary audio jack. To make the ride even more entertaining, opt for the voice-activated navigation system with 440-watt JBL premium audio package.
When it comes to comfort, fuel economy, durability, style and eco-friendliness it’s almost a no-brainer. The 2010 Toyota Camry has evolved to become a leader in the hybrid revolution.
Toyota Camry 2009
The Camry is a front-wheel drive, five-passenger, four-door sedan featuring four trims: CE, LE, SE, and XLE. A 158-hp, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and five-speed manual transmission is standard; a five-speed automatic transmission is optional. Optional for LE, SE, and XLE models is a 268-hp, 3.5-liter V6 and six-speed automatic transmission with sequential shifting. ABS brakes, driver and front-passenger airbags, front seat-mounted side-impact airbags, and side curtain airbags are standard. Stability control and traction control are optional.
The benchmark Toyota Camry sedan continues its reputation of safety, reliability, and quality while offering fuel efficiency, space, and power. As one of the best-selling vehicles over the past 20 years, the Toyota Camry has been a comforting constant in its own right. Buyers are frequently working on their third or fourth Camry because of their prior positive experiences. The 2009 version of this Toyota stalwart continues to offer what most folks are looking for in a mainstream midsize family sedan: a roomy cabin, a comfortable ride, an easy-to-drive demeanor and a reputation for reliability and low maintenance costs.
The 2009 Camry remains the perennial best-seller among midsize sedans. The Camry trim levels, in ascending price, are the base Camry, the LE, the sporty SE and the premium XLE. The Camry Hybrid, detailed in a separate report in the Cars.com Research section, falls somewhere between the SE and XLE in terms of standard equipment.
The Toyota Camry is at $20,145 and for this you’ll have a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox which produces a respectable 169HP @6,000 RPM. But unlike its counterpart, the Camry scores a little bit better in the fuel economy department with a slightly higher average of 26 miles to the gallon.
The LE, SE and LXE all come with the 2.4-Liter engine or you can upgrade to the 3.5-Liter DOHC 24-vlave Dual VVT-i engine, increasing horsepower to an impressive 268 at 6200 rpm and torque to 248 lb-ft at 4700 rpm. This engine takes 2.5 seconds off the 0 to 60 test and manages a respectable 19 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway.
The 2.4L engine comes with a choice of a 5 speed manual transmission or 5 speed electronically controlled automatic overdrive transmission with intelligence (ECT-i) while the 3.5L engine comes standard with the brawnier 6 speed ECT-i transmission.
Ride and handling is solid and secure but not sporty while the overall crash ratings and avoidance protection are classed as ‘good’ across the board.
The base Camry comes standard with tilt and telescoping steering wheel, cruise control, fabric seats and door trim with multi-adjustable front bucket seats with driver’s height adjust and lumbar support. The 60/40 split rear seat folds flat to increase trunk space and the CD AM/FM, MP3/WMA playback with nine speakers and auxiliary jack give this base model a versatility and mild luxury rarely seen for the price tag.
The LE builds on the base model with increased comfort in power adjustable seats and multi-function remote keyless entry.
In the SE and XLE, choose from the optional heated seats and the JBL Synthesis AM/FM 6-dis in dash CD changer with MP3/WMA playback and satellite enable, auxiliary jack and hands free phone via Bluetooth. Speakers are upgraded to twelve units and a subwoofer. Or, choose the same as well as an integrated DVD navigation system.
In the XLE model, standard high end features such as the wood-grain interior trim with chrome accents and defroster-linked CFC-free dual zone auto climate control with dust and pollen filter, Plasmaclusterâ„¢ ionizer, steering wheel-mounted controls and rear-seat vents. Other options for these high-end models include Smart Key System with Push Button Start and remote illuminated entry with puddle lamps.
Interior
The Camry’s steering wheel both tilts and telescopes. XLE standard fabric is treated by the Fraichir process, which gives it a natural moisturizing component. The SE trim level gets its own sport-trimmed interior in darker colors with amber gauges and a three-spoke steering wheel.
The CE and LE trims have split, folding backseats. The XLE backrests recline 8 degrees, but they don’t fold forward to extend cargo space into the cabin. Likewise, the Camry SE’s seats don’t fold due to a V-shaped brace intended to stiffen the car’s structure and improve handling. There’s 101.4 cubic feet for passengers to stretch out — putting the sedan in the middle of the pack in terms of space. Same thing goes for its 15-cubic-foot trunk.
- Available cloth, Fraichir cloth and leather upholstery
- Standard air conditioning
- Standard cruise control, plus power windows and locks
- Leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter (SE and XLE)
- Optional heated front seats (SE and XLE)
- Optional eight-speaker JBL stereo with satellite radio (not on base Camry)
- Optional Bluetooth (not on base Camry)
- Optional navigation system (SE and XLE)
Under the Hood
A four-cylinder engine is available on all models, while the optional V-6 is available on all but the base Camry. The SE has firmer springs, shock absorbers, stabilizer bars and bushings to improve handling and limit body roll compared to other trim levels.
- Standard 158-horsepower four-cylinder engine with 161 pounds-feet of torque
- Optional 268-hp V-6 with 248 pounds-feet of torque
- Standard five-speed manual (four-cylinder)
- Optional five-speed automatic (four-cylinder)
- Optional six-speed automatic (V-6)
- Optional push-button start (XLE)
The Camry’s comfortable ride, moderate price and unequalled reliability have kept it a consumer favorite for a quarter of the century and with the way Toyota is leading the pack, the Camry should stay on top for the next quarter century.
Exterior
The current-generation Camry’s nose is blunter and the overall profile is sportier than its predecessor. The tail recalls the full-size Avalon sedan, and the fenders have shoulders that give the trunklid a hump.
The grilles distinguish one trim level from another. The SE also has rocker-panel and front-end extensions and larger wheels. Exterior length is 189.2 inches and width comes in at 71.7 inches, putting the Camry on the small side of the midsize market.
- Available 16- or 17-inch wheels
- Standard automatic headlamps
- Standard power mirrors
- Optional moonroof (not available on base Camry)
- Heated mirrors (standard on XLE, optional on SE)
- Dual chrome exhaust tips (with V-6 only)

- Standard side-impact airbags

- Standard antilock braking system with brake assist
- Standard daytime running lamps
- Optional electronic stability system
- Standard engine immobilizer in case of ignition tampering

Product Description
Toyota Camry 2007-2008 Overview and Information
The Camry is a front-wheel drive, five-passenger, four-door sedan featuring four trims: CE, LE, SE, and XLE. A 158-hp, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and five-speed manual transmission is standard; a five-speed automatic transmission is optional. Optional for LE, SE, and XLE models is a 268-hp, 3.5-liter V6 and six-speed automatic transmission with sequential shifting. ABS brakes, driver and front-passenger airbags, front seat-mounted side-impact airbags, and side curtain airbags are standard. Stability control and traction control are optional.
The Toyota Camry, the best-selling car in America four years running and eight of the past nine years, was new for 2007. Designers and engineers tried to get a more stylish, athletic, modern image, while increasing performance for both standard and hybrid models — without sacrificing traditional Camry qualities, including a comfortable ride and low noise levels.
Gas mileage is quite good even without the hybrid: the four-cylinder CE model has city/highway fuel economy ratings of 24/34. The V6 cars have fuel economy ratings of 22 mpg city/31 mpg highway, while the Camry hybrid is rated at a rather nice (if not Prius-like) 40 mpg city/38 mpg highway.
