8th Gen Toyota Camry (XV70)

[DK3410]

I cannot understand why hybrid camry is using 2.5l engine?

 

Because the 2.5L engine has a wider torque-band as compared to the 2.0L. Requires less revving to deliver the optimal torque needed.

 

When mated with a good well-designed ECU and CVT (like the Prius), it delivers good performance without sacrificing fuel economy.

 

The new Prius (1.8L) has better fuel economy than the old Prius (1.5L), go figure.

 

In addition, the new Camry is based on the TGNA chassis, which also sees a switch in suspension from the old dual Macpherson struts on the 2017 Camry to double-wishbone suspensions in the rear. This allows engineers to tune the suspension to offer BOTH good handling AND ride quality, unlike the Macpherson strut which sacrificed handling for ride quality. The engineering trade-off might have been reduced cabin space but thus far it looks like cabin space hasn't been compromised which is evidence of clever engineering.

 

The overseas reviews of the new Camry have been excellent, with some reviewers going as far as to say "FINALLY, a Camry that's actually fun to drive!".

Doesn't looks like it has Android Auto in the head unit... disappointed. :(

I don't think none of Toyota model has AA.

Carplay available in all new Toyota models in USA/Canada (since early 2018). Such as Avalon, ES, UX, Corolla, RAV4

 

But apparently it is a north american agreement only with Apple, so the rest of the world don't get Carplay.

 

Andriod Auto, there was some news (unofficial) in Sep that Toyota and Google has signed agreement to enable AA - no news since. Possible will only be announced when they introduce new model with AA functionality. Again high chance it is North America only.

Didn't test drive it but from what I've seen from YouTube reviews, this XV 70 Camry generally receives quite positive reviews. Are you also considering the normal petrol variant when Borneo motors is going to release it next year? I think it will have slightly more features as compared to PI.

Considering the hybrid version. But don't know how well it drives or if the cabin is as quiet as it's supposed to be...
