THE all-new Toyota Camry was unveiled in a dazzling ceremony yesterday at the Toyota showroom in Sitra.
The event was attended by Ebrahim K Kanoo (EKK) board of directors and top management and guests. Toyota Bahrain is a division of EKK.
The 2025 model delivers quality, durability and reliability, and comes with two powertrain options: a 2.5-litre four-cylinder Dynamic Force engine that produces 201hp and 240nm of torque paired with an eight-speed direct-shift automatic transmission, and an electrified hybrid powertrain combining a petrol engine with two electric motors for a combined power of 227hp. It is also paired with an electronically controlled, continuously variable transmission for a heightened driving experience.
The new Camry HEV (hybrid electric vehicle) features the latest fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System (THS 5), an evolutionary upgrade that allows the vehicle to operate entirely on electrical power, maintaining impressive fuel efficiency of 27.7kmpl. Normal, Eco and Sport driving modes are available, along with an additional EV mode for HEV drivers.
“The Camry has received a makeover, with the new model exhibiting great front and back design and a wider interior,” EKK executive general manager of sales Ismail Akbar told the GDN.
“Cars are a necessity and when the customer decides which one to buy, one of the major things he will look out for is the after-sales service. We are fully committed to our customers, providing assistance and service seven days a week, all day, and even on the holidays. We appreciate all our customers who have built a long-term relationship with us,” he added.
The front of the vehicle showcases a lowered hammerhead design, accentuated by a broad lower grille that gives the Camry a wide and solid presence with an aggressive stance. Signature bi-LED and multi-eye LED headlamps not only enhance its stylish look but also improve night-time visibility.
The spacious interior showcases high-quality materials, cohesive metal finishes, and a harmonious layout of seats, instrument panel and doors. Upholstery options include smooth leather and fabric in various colours to match the vehicle’s exterior.
The next generation Camry’s distinctive interior is complemented by a range of advanced features, including a 12.3-inch touchscreen multimedia system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a 12.3-inch colour, full-graphic metre or seven-inch colour display metre, a wireless charging system for smartphones, a dual-zone automatic air conditioning system with rear AC vents, a six-speaker sound system, a panoramic roof, and multi-adjustable power and ventilated front seats.
Safety features include the Toyota Safety Sense, an advanced safety and driver assistance system that includes a pre-collision system with an expanded detection range for vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists and motorcycles, together with new features such as intersection collision avoidance support for crossing vehicles, emergency steering assist and acceleration suppression at low speed, and many others.
Customers have a choice of seven distinctive exterior colours, including Emotional Red, Platinum White Pearl Mica, Silver Metallic, Precious Metal and Attitude Black Mica Additionally, two all-new colours, Precious Bronze and Dark Blue Mica, have been introduced. The interior offers a range of four complementary colour schemes: Fromage, Black, Yellow Brown, and Neutral Beige.
