(CHARLOTTE, NC – October 8, 2014) Toyota raises the bar yet again in the mid-size sedan segment with a bold, bumper-to-bumper redesign of the Toyota Camry for 2015. With a striking new design, new model grades, and more dynamic handling, the 2015 Camry is Toyota’s best yet. And with highly competitive starting MSRPs, Camry is ready to welcome even more Canadians to the Toyota family.

“For 2015, we stripped down Camry to the chassis, and then re-built it from the ground up. The result is more style, more comfort and more driving fun,” said Larry Hutchison, Vice President at Toyota Canada Inc. “With a new, sportier Camry XSE and XSE V6, plus the permanent addition of the sporty and efficient Camry Hybrid SE to the line-up, we’re delivering more of what Canadians asked for. This really is a new Camry, from the new Toyota.”

Every 2015 Toyota Camry and Camry Hybrid benefits from bolder styling and improved handling.

Toyota designers and engineers re-imagined nearly every exterior surface of the car, while the new, upscale interior features premium, soft-touch materials throughout the spacious cabin. Advanced instrumentation with intuitive controls helps keep the driver’s eyes safely on the road ahead.

Underneath the striking new styling, the chassis and body structure are bolstered with additional spot welds, enhancing rigidity for better ride quality. Re-tuned suspension and steering systems take the Camry’s handling to a whole new level of responsiveness. And special attention to reducing unwanted wind and road noise has resulted in the quietest-ever Camry cabin.

The Camry is available with either a 2.5-litre four-cylinder or 3.5-litre V6 gas engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmissions.

The Camry Hybrid is built around a 2.5-litre four-cylinder Atkinson Cycle engine with Hybrid Synergy drive matched to an E-CVT.

All models are engineered for engaging performance and impressive efficiency.
