Camry down-under: Toyota Aurion facelifted too!
For fans of the new facelifted Toyota Camry, here are some new shots of the car from its Australian launch where it is called the Toyota Aurion. I don’t think any of the previous photos I’ve published so far had a shot of the car with its LED tail lamps lit up so for those who haven’t seen the new facelifted Camry in real life at night yet, here’s how it looks like.
The Australian Toyota Aurion also has a sporty version with a completely different aggressively-styled bumper and grille. This is different from the aerokit we can purchase with the Camry here in Malaysia. Younger Camry buyers will probably want to hunt for this or find out how to import the original bumper in.
Look after the jump for the full gallery.

Nice LED light!
September 22, 2009 @ 5:26 pm
Frankly speaking, their Aurion with black interior looks sporty & more youthful than ours here.
September 22, 2009 @ 5:28 pm
I saw they have the rear lights like the ASEAN version too…
September 22, 2009 @ 6:02 pm
The front reminds me of Proton Saga.
September 22, 2009 @ 6:06 pm
the black one looks like an oversized saga blm from the front
September 22, 2009 @ 6:15 pm
Photoshop Saga haha..just kidding.
September 22, 2009 @ 6:46 pm
schweeeet……… if only i could afford this in the first place

————————
You mean the picture of the black car appears to show an over-sized saga. The black Camry definitely does not resemble the saga in another angle [the other photo with 5 cars]
September 22, 2009 @ 7:12 pm
haha sweet. dont forget they got Aurion TRD supercahrged there..one of the powerful front wheel drive car.
September 22, 2009 @ 8:52 pm
UMW Toyota Malaysia may consider market these type of car here.
Definitely will have massive response.
September 22, 2009 @ 9:09 pm
how come the front looks like proton saga
September 22, 2009 @ 9:21 pm
kinda looks like the audi a6’s led taillamp. the new one.
September 22, 2009 @ 9:25 pm
the white one looks nice..
September 22, 2009 @ 9:50 pm
omg…i wish the aurion was here…aurion TRD is even better…
September 22, 2009 @ 10:32 pm
de black front really look like saga blm…
September 22, 2009 @ 11:20 pm
Nissan Teana already has the similar LED tail lamps, I feel sad that Camry is copying others..
September 22, 2009 @ 11:27 pm
Agree!! guys, this one looks lijke a proton saga…haha..btw, even got LED light, this car still BORING!!!~ make me wanna make a yawn~~~ pls giv me a hammer, cause i wanna hit this things like Jeremy Clarkson do on Kelisa…!
September 23, 2009 @ 12:08 am
the black one has a bumper which looks kinda similar to the current Merc C63 AMG one… does fit well with the Camry… so its nice!
September 23, 2009 @ 7:40 am
Boring. The Japs one even nicer.
September 23, 2009 @ 8:48 am
Ya, agree with you guys, our Camry here should have option for BLACK interior la. Looks so much better
Front grille must be chrome only nice for this type of car. Our Camry here is better for that point.
September 23, 2009 @ 9:27 am
Front damn Protong Saga lar…what happen to u Toyota?
September 23, 2009 @ 9:38 am
Mazda6 and Accord rules….
September 23, 2009 @ 9:56 am
The black one just look exactly like the Proton Saga.
September 23, 2009 @ 10:13 am
its way better than the new fugly accord.. although maybe lacking esthetically than the mazda6. nonetheless, i still prefer my beamer.
September 23, 2009 @ 10:32 am
FYI, Camry is selling around A$30+K. Neighbor of my relative bought a C-Class with A$58K, A$3K rebate by the G to encourage people spending, and also if registered for business, totally depreciate in 5 years.
September 23, 2009 @ 11:41 am
Chinese copy Japanese, Japanese copy Malaysian? LMAO!!!
September 23, 2009 @ 12:05 pm
Its a 3.5L V6 in Aussie. Here we get just 2.0 and 2.4L engines to fit into this Aurion car. I reckon their Aussie Camry should be sold in Malaysia since it looks more sporty. For those who have not seen the Aussie Camry, you should check out on their website.
September 23, 2009 @ 4:57 pm
why is it that some people on this forum commented that the Aurion looks like Saga and even accused them copying Saga’s front? The Aurion was released some time in 2006 or 2007 which is about 1 or 2 years before the new Proton Saga was revealed to the public. It always amuses me to see some moronic posters posting childish baseless claims on the Internet. Guess not everyone was born and raised equal.
September 23, 2009 @ 5:10 pm
@ Simo
Because Saga is more common? Its like a product long established in a continent, but when it is exported to another country of another continent, people in that country are going to think that the product is created later compared to another similar product.
On another note, I’m pretty sure its just the angle! If people are saying that the black one looks like Saga [or the other way round], then why aren’t there people saying that the WHITE one looks like a WHITE Saga, too? Are they of different design? Surely not? Use your brains people ….I expected something interesting when I was reading the comments, but half of what everyone posted is about it resembling the Saga =[
September 23, 2009 @ 5:12 pm
In all honesty, the black one REALLY looks like the SAGA front,,,,
September 23, 2009 @ 8:52 pm
no need argue la guys…eventually this is a boring car bcoz it born without a SOUL, just for marketing demand, do u guys agree? 4 speed ?! 2 airbag?!…hmmm…think abt it, wat point buying this car?? Toyota just fool u guys with this kind of cars, sorry but i hav to say that i really hate this car!!!
September 23, 2009 @ 10:29 pm
the black 1 looks like a damn saga blm. It must b the angle and the new bumper.
September 23, 2009 @ 11:02 pm
PROTON SAGA BLM! lol The australians will mistake the upcomming Proton S14 for an Aurion (which may be good, but not so good the other way round)
September 24, 2009 @ 12:06 am
it’s look like new toyota camry but the aerokit n sport rim are diffrent….
September 24, 2009 @ 9:41 am
@You’re Slimeball:
How is Saga more common? Oh that’s right this is a Malaysian based forum and everyone drives Saga over there. Still, isnt the rebadged Aurion as Camry been around in Singapore and Malaysia for a while. Surely there are quite a few on the road by now.
@arian:
Are you referring to a 2003 Toyota Echo? or the current Proton Saga? I thought this article is about the v6 facelifted Aurion? what are you on about??
September 24, 2009 @ 1:06 pm
@ Simo
How many articles about Aurion/Camry have you seen so far in this website? Or how many Camry advertisements in the newspaper? In my opinion there are more Saga’s than Camry’s in Malaysia. As in the whole country, not just Kuala Lumpur. I bet those kampung folks have more Saga’s than Camry’s.
I don’t know, maybe you live near a Toyota assembling plant, that probably explains why you see more Camry’s than Saga’s.
Do you live in Shah Alam by any chance? Assembly Services Sdn Bhd assembles Toyota, Hino and Daihatsu vehicles in Malaysia.

@You’re Slimeball:
Well you got a good point there. The ratio for Saga to Camry is probably 100 to 1 over there. Sorry I dont live in Malaysia.
You would have thought of most readers who frequent this site are car enthusiasts or know a thing or two about cars so they should and would have seen the current Camry/Aurion related articles entries at other motoring site or car magazine. Camry isnt exactly some kind of obscure car that nobody buys and since the car has been out for so long the readers would have at least seen it or read about it.
You can’t assume that just because there aren’t much camry advertisements in Malaysia then people won’t know anything about it. We are living in the Internet age and not the 80s. Unless those readers happen to be Proton centric they only pay attention to all things Proton and ignore everything else.
September 24, 2009 @ 1:51 pm
@Simo
I dont think we really accuse Toyota copied Saga.Is just that the black car really looks like Proton Saga BLM.Whats wrong by saying that this car copied or looks like Saga BLM? Afterall, this blog is for commenting and to see what we think about the car not to scold other peoples comment. zzzz
September 24, 2009 @ 10:15 pm
@Seymour:
apparently one poster did (or almost did).It is common practice for article commenter to comment on another comment poster if he/she made unintelligent or provocative post without any kind of fact to back the post up.
September 24, 2009 @ 11:14 pm
u guys surely are clowns…
camry and saga? aiyak….
the war still continue to going further in this forum…sigh (”-_-)
rubbish rubbish and rubbish
September 24, 2009 @ 11:15 pm

September 25, 2009 @ 10:08 am

September 25, 2009 @ 10:23 pm
Proof it…
September 25, 2009 @ 10:25 pm
@ Simo
Don’t made me laugh la u, u think u so intelligent than others izzit?
it already show how unintelligent u r when u keep shooting ppl like this.
everyone got his own opinion in different way on same things, and everyone can voice out their words accordingly.
I don understand y u like to act like this, wanna show off?
Let’s stop the war here la, u better think abt wat i m said juz now.
September 25, 2009 @ 11:52 pm
wish Aurion is here..
September 26, 2009 @ 12:02 pm
@Simo
Simo is jz a crap clown thinking that he is superior than others..lmho.. every one here hv their own speedom of speech to comment wats on their mind for certain thing..n 1 vital thing’s they weren’t simply bashing arnd..indeed the black aurios at upfront really looks like da proton saga blm frm the picture that giving..n da launching time of aurios earlier than our proton saga blm can’t simpy deny the fact that they both look alike to each other..okay?? It has nth to do with da time matter..wat a no-brainer…
September 26, 2009 @ 2:13 pm
I don’t think we’ll ever get Aurions here and my reasoning is that it doesn’t look “uncle” enough, as only “uncles” will be able to comfortably afford cars at this price range. This is how our market is and it’s also safe for UMW.
September 26, 2009 @ 6:43 pm
woot woot looks like I just stepped on some country bumpkin’s toe. Someone sure is getting all pissy when someone corrected their incoherent post. Say what’s the “da” you meant “the”, no?
September 26, 2009 @ 6:59 pm
poor arian is getting all pissy and defensive. I wasn’t shooting anyone, well not literally anyway. Is this about my respond to your 4 speed 2 airbags comment on the Aurion? But I must say I admire your “intelligent” and borderline Toyota bashing comment. These days not many people have the gut to show their total ignorance on a public internet forum. I salute you my brave Arian.
September 26, 2009 @ 8:29 pm
Stupid f**K Simo, why not you shut you mouth off!!!
September 26, 2009 @ 8:38 pm
@Simo
i so so pity u la Simo….u still don get wat i m trying to say….haizz….i dun wan to argue with a guys like u, wasting my time nia…It is difficult dealing with those having no manners …eventually i wan to say is there is nothing wrong with different ppl got different opinion, there is no true or false from different opinions, & plz…plz…la respect others guys la, otherwise ppl will considers as no manners! cheers~brave to say!
September 27, 2009 @ 6:33 pm
Hmmmm, the new bumper layout is pretty much of Toyota Mark X Vertiga body kit which has the same profile.
Saga and Camry eh ? If you notice the Saga bumper design, you might want to look at Volkswagen EOS….. Volkswagen EOS bumper + Camry lights = Proton Saga perhaps ? lol….
Rearwise, you might want to think it is an Audi at the back.
Talking about soul, this car is not meant for passionate driving or exhilirating drive. It’s good for drivers (so that they won’t have a chance to thrash your beloved half to one million dollar car), so big bosses seat at the back (Toyota shud consider a stretched version of Camry ? ) Why have a chauffeur when u have a Merc S class/ Audi A8 / 7series, since he is going to enjoy the drive, not you. Good marketing strategy I’d say… Save your S-class,Bentley, BMW, Audi,Rolls Royce…. be driven in a Camry =)
