Automotive Brilliance, More Than 30 Years in the Making: The 2014 Toyota Camry

TORONTO, ON., (August 22, 2013) – The product of six generations of evolution – more than three decades of leading-edge design and engineering – the 2014 Toyota Camry features a modern interior, iconic design and a driving experience that demonstrates why the Camry remains North America’s most popular mid-size sedan.

“The 2014 Camry embodies our passion for bold styling and fun-to-drive performance – qualities that appeal to the heart of every Canadian driver,” said Larry Hutchinson, Vice President at Toyota Canada Inc. “Toyota designers and engineers worked in concert with one goal in mind: to craft an automobile that exceeds expectations. Beautiful styling, exceptional comfort, inspiring performance and intuitive, innovative technology demonstrate why so many drivers – in Canada and around the globe – return to Camry year after year. It’s the mid-size sedan as only Toyota can deliver.”

Every 2014 Camry comes generously-equipped with many performance, style, comfort and convenience features as standard. Handling is easy and confident thanks to a suspension system featuring Macpherson gas struts, coil springs and stabilizer bars, while front ventilated disc and rear disc brakes provide stopping power.

As with every new Toyota since 2011, the 2014 Camry is also standard equipped with the six active safety technologies of the Star Safety System: Antilock Brake System, Brake Assist, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control and Smart Stop Technology work together to help drivers avoid potential accident situations. Safety is always standard on a Toyota, which is why the 2014 Camry also features 10 airbags (dual stage driver and front passenger, front seat and rear seat mounted side, driver and front passenger knee, and front and rear side curtain), plus anchor points for child seats and child protector rear door locks.

Every Camry also features many standard features, including: a six-speaker 6.1” Display Audio system featuring CD with MP3/WMA capability, USB and auxiliary inputs for portable audio devices, Bluetooth capability, and steering wheel-mounted audio controls; a tilting and telescoping steering column; air conditioning with cabin air filter; a 60/40 split fold down rear seat to maximize cargo carrying versatility; a driver-focused instrument cluster with back-up camera, outside temperature gauge, dual trip odometer and more; power doors with keyless entry and remote trunk release; power windows with driver’s side auto up/down function; map lamps; plenty of thoughtful in-cabin storage; cruise control; a 12-volt accessory power outlet; engine immobilizer; dual folding, power adjustable and heated exterior mirrors; variable intermittent wipers; projector-style halogen headlamps; and more.
