Toyota is now offering the Toyota Camry in a new colour and with a new aerokit, of which both is shown above. The new colour is called White Pearl CS (070), with CS being an acronym for crystal. The new colour is only offered on the Toyota Camry 2.0G and the Toyota Camry 2.4V. Specifying this colour will cost an extra RM800.

As for the new Toyota Camry aerokit, it can be fitted on all models and all colours, but only as a factory-fit. Aftermarket retrofitting for existing Toyota Camry owners is not possible as Toyota says it will tamper with the vehicle’s original specifications as approved by Toyota Motor Co Japan. The aerokit is optional and costs RM2,200. It consists of a front lip, a rear lip, side skirts and a trunk lid spoiler. Warranty for the aerokit follows the Camry’s 3 year or 100,000km warranty.

One more rear shot after the jump.

    umm… what the… tamper with the vehicle’s original specifications?! How can you temper that by just fitting in the front lip, rear lip, side skirts and a small ass spoiler?! I don’t believe this car actually go tru so much wind tunnel test that even adding these small stuffs will mess with the car spec.

    the aerokit look are way too simple. at one glance no one will notice it….they have to offer a little bit aggresive kit….

    Is this the only original Aerokit that TOYOTA provides? I’ve seen quite many Camry around with bodykits and it look great! I doubt those bodykit is an aftermarket product, but it rocks.

    WIth or without the bodykit, the Camry is still able to make our jaws drop!

    The sheer outlook of the car is beautiful in every angle of it.

    This Camry is more suitable for the yakuza look, or better, in VIP styling..

    All New Accord is coming very soon…Toyota must react loh… Honda got modulo, Nissan got nismo oredi but Toyota must put some name also lah for this body kit thingy. But to pay extra for white paint too much laaaa….

    this is just makeup, bring in the 3.5 supercharged aurion v6!

  12. kerelbort said,

    January 22, 2008 @ 11:02 am

    will u buy a 3.5 supercharged aurion if UMW really bring it in? if u will buy.. then they juz need another 499 other people dumb enuff to buy a 3.5l supercharged aurion and refuse to pay unsubsidized petrol price…

  13. abtm said,

    January 22, 2008 @ 11:52 am

    kerelbort, NO I WON’T BUY, there is no such thing as a sporty toyota nowadays, especially one dragster that will most likely understeer and have no steering feel

  14. Roti Naan said,

    January 22, 2008 @ 12:38 pm

    forking out RM 2,200 for the kit? No thanks. And it’s almost unnoticable and yet Toyota didn’t give any assurance the kit will improve aerodynamics of the car.

    this AEROKIT probably do not have AERO quality. I guess ppl got sick and tired using BODYKIT word oredi….

    The rear “spoiler” actually “spoils” the look of the car..lolz

    Aerokit = accessory = more money for UMWT. Get your kit, retrofit at trusted accy shop (you can get it across the thai border but the lubang will not be avail la bro, need to tebuk and will prone to rust).

    hey Paul, unrelated question but just curious on what camera are you using, cos if I’m not wrong you’re using a DSLR rite? Model and lense(s)?

  19. BanyakMasukWorkshop said,

    January 22, 2008 @ 4:13 pm

    to be fair, more people are interested in the “look” of their bodykits rather than the actual aerodynamic benefits.

    January 22, 2008 @ 4:16 pm

    I saw a silver aero-kitted camry yesterday making its way on a runabout in front of the UMW Toyota building. The spoiler… well… spoils the elegance ‘gentlemanly’ look that makes people fall in love with Camry in the first place

    the fuel consumption of the 3.5 litre aurion engine is the same as the 2.4(or 2litre) litre camry(aust spec) engine.

    only difference is you get 100kws extra with the NA 3.5 litre.

  22. BanyakMasukWorkshop said,

    January 22, 2008 @ 4:54 pm

    another good example is, my 2.8litre gets almost the same(sometimes better) mileage than the equivalent 2.0litre in the same stable but i have almost 300NM of torque as compared to the 170 something NM in the 2.0litre.

  23. torishimeyakuin said,

    They should don it in glittering black, with dark glasses and blink blink aluminum wheels…then perhaps some ‘oyabun’ will consider to get it ? Aah naay..they always prefer those ‘gaisha’..or at least a Lexus.

    shouldn’t been called Aerokit, Ah Beng kit more suits!

  25. mitlanevo said,

    January 22, 2008 @ 9:59 pm

    all sucks except the rear lip……

  26. topgunthang said,

    January 22, 2008 @ 10:43 pm

    which 2.8 litre is that?

    the honda civic’s implementation to save petrol while maintaining adequate torque is also very neat.

    now have to see whether honda cylinder deactivation works well or not. im pretty sure gm, chrysler or someone had used that method some while ago.

    300nm is pretty nice.

    Some history lessons then.

    Cyc deavtivation is first widely(if you could call that) used on GM’s V8-6-4 in the very early 80s. That unfortunatly was a good concept badly implemented. I wont fail GM for trying though. I had a chance to work on one example.

    Also found in the regularChysler 300 V8.

    Honda’s first cyc displacement on demand (DOD) engine was in the US Odysey. And since that runs in 3cyc mode off load, it introduced quite a bit of 3 cyc harmonics, which was “fixed” by the sound system by transmitting an off phase “white noise” to cancel it out.

    Not quite sure if the new 3.5 DOD has the same syste, since it runs on 4 cys.

    This is definitely my dream car. It is such a beauty with or without the Aerokit. However, I saw Toyota Camry Singapore version (plate) is slightly different. The front and the rear beam is smaller. I don’ t really like that design.

    The new Camry which is recently shown in the Autocar show somewhere in US is also not as attractive as the one that we locally have now.

    What do you guys thing?

    THIS NEW 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IS MY DREAMED CAR FOR A LONG TIME. I CONSIDER THAT THE NEW 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAVE OR WITHOUT THE AEROKIT. HOWEVER, I SAW THE NEW TOYOTA CAMRY IN VIETNAM IS HAVE 4 VERSION AS BELOW : 1. 2.0E 2. 2.0G 3. 2.4G 4. 3.5… IS SIGHTLY DIFFERENT THEN THIS MALAYSIA VERSION. THE REAR BUMPER AND FRONT BUMPER IS NICER. I DON’T REALLY LIKE THE VIETNAM VERSION CAMRY DESIGN VERY MUCH.

    THE NEW 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WHICH IS SHOW IN THE TOYOTA CAMRY CHINA WEBSITE IS MORE NICER, I HOPE THAT MALAYSIA HAVE THAT VERSION TOO.

    WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK, AND THANKS FOR ME TO LEAVE A COMMENT

    THANK TO PO (PAUL TAN) 88 ;)

    The facelift Camry is expected to hit the showroom this August. Apart from the bumper changes, no one else can tell what else. But you can be sure of this. It wont come with the DUAL VVT-i. Push Start and build-in Navigation system is still on speculations. New price is up by 10k, so what can you expect. Current Camry sales has dropped, meaning plenty of people are waiting for the new facelift. Waiting time may run up to 3 months. Afterall the Camry and Honda is typical “tauke’s” car, and there are plenty of them.

    I find the new Facelfted Camry is gorgeous in any way.Classy and Elegant, if it’s what u are looking for. If you are into sporty looking wheel, think you got to skip this one.
