Toyota Camry facelift launch on April 30, 2015

Toyota is all set to launch the updated Camry
sedan in India on April 30, 2015. The Camry, in its
current avatar, is on sale in India since 2012. This
mid-cycle facelift of the Camry will come with
cosmetic changes, and will be available with both
petrol and hybrid powertrain options. We broke
the news about the updated Camry hitting our
shores in 2015 way back in December last year.
The updated Camry was showcased first at the
Moscow Motor Show in November 2014. It gets
styling changes both outside and in – up front,
the headlamps are re-styled with LED daytime
running lamps and the grille is all-new with a
band of chrome on top of it. There’s also a new
protruding chin along with a re-designed bumper.
These changes align the Camry’s styling with the
carmaker's current generation models such as the
new Corolla Altis.
At the rear, the boot lid gets mild styling tweaks
and the tail-lamps get new LED inserts. The
chrome strip on the boot lid is now thinner and
divides the tail-lamp into two parts. The alloy
wheel designs are also expected to be new on the
updated car.
On the inside, the 2015 Toyota Camry has a
sporty looking three-spoke multi-function steering
wheel instead of the four-spoke unit in the current
car. The instrument cluster has also been updated
with blue backlight and a larger 4.2-inch screen
at the centre. The multimedia screen on the
centre console is also bigger at 6.1 inches.
The updated Camry is not expected to get any
changes under the skin, and is likely to continue
with the petrol and petrol-hybrid set-ups that are
on offer currently. Dealers tell us that the updated
Camry will be priced around Rs 1 lakh higher than
the pre-facelift car, which is now available at a
discount of around Rs 1.5-2 lakh, depending on
the availability.
