UMW Toyota has released full details and pictures of the new Camry variant, the Toyota Camry 2.0 G X. ‘X’ stands for ‘Exquisite Luxury’, apparently. White Pearl CS, Attitude Black, Silver Metallic and Medium Silver Metallic are the available body colours – same as on the other three variants.
Head and tail lamps get a smoked look, and there are dark silver 215/55 R17 alloys from the more expensive Camry 2.5 V. On the boot lid, an ‘X’ badge marks the spot.
Inside, you’ll find exclusive dark brown leather upholstery (locally sourced and supplied, no less), dark wood trim, ‘Camry X’-branded front carpet mats, a powered rear blind and manual rear side window blinds. The last two were previously exclusive to the Camry 2.5 V.

A seven-inch DVD-AVN touch-screen system (a RM2,990 option on other 2.0 litre variants and RM1,800 on the 2.5 V) is standard here. It offers Bluetooth, navigation, reverse camera display with guide lines, DVD, USB, SD and Smartphone Link that works with selected mobile phone models.
Mechanically, the 2.0 G X shares the same 2.0 litre four-cylinder engine and four-speed auto as the 2.0 G. Also similar to the 2.0 G is the safety equipment – two airbags, VSC and TRC (base 2.0 E loses out on the last two safety features).

The five-piece aerokit pictured here remains a RM2,700 option, along with Toyota Premium Security and Solar Film, which costs another RM1,900.
The Toyota Camry 2.0 G X is open for booking, and is listed at RM159,900, on the road with insurance – just shy of a RM1,000 premium over the 2.0 G, but much cheaper than the 2.5 V. Included is a three-year/100,000 km warranty.

Typical salesman talk. Got no RV lah. RV jatuh so much. Toyota salesman will come here and talk how great this car is. But in truth, they are so scared of dropping sales. Camry nobody is touching cause it is really King of RV (depreciation). Everybody knows, 2013 Toyota Camry 2.5 is now sold for RM130k, down from RM180k. No other Japanese car can jatuh RM50k in less than one year!
As for 2013 Toyota Camry 2.0G, it is being sold in mudah now for RM110k. A drop of RM40k. In one year, this car can drop 40k. So who ever said Toyota got good RV?
Somemore, Malaysians can never forget what UMW did last year. Take out VSC at the detriment of Malaysian lives. ALL over the world, Camry got VSC. Only in Malaysia, Camry VSC was taken out. Why? To reap more profit at the expense of the lives of Toyota buyers. So, many ardent Toyota fans migrated to Honda. Infact, nearly 90% of Toyota Camry buyers migrated to Honda Accord. They know how unethical UMW is.
Even now, when UMW put back the VSC, people already aware how sneaky UMW is. Word of mouth is the best power. Even in mamak stall, mamak himself tell me, Camry got no VSC last year because UMW mahu untung lebih.
Altis nobody buying cause the one with VSC is RM139k. People rather buy an Elanta for 90K which is the largest C segment car around, super economical engine and comes with VSC. Don’t believe, have you ever seen the new Altis on the road despite launching 6 months ago??
Vios is dead. Vios is beaten by the City. Everybody agrees on this. Nobody is going to touch the Vios. That is clear cut. No need analysis or argument. Even Toyota salesman agree, City will wipe out Vios. So, even Toyota salesman have declared defeat when City is concerened.
So that is why the Toyota salesman running scared. Even Sam Loo join Hyundai Sime Darby knowing that the Toyota ship is slowly sinking!
Guys ..
Enough with this Sh1T. Let’s move on from this nightmare.
With this ridiculous car and the junior uncle sales man but arrogant Sam Loo at the showroom, you think the car can sell ?
I was going to buy a Camry but after reading all the stinking comments, Accord, here I come. One thing I know in life, always read and follow online comments. Never trust reviews or salesman. This is like tripadvisor, hotel can be 5 star but in the hotel, you can find out there are cockcroaches and rats from online comments in tripadvisor.
Goodbye Camry, hello Accord!
My boss made another few million with trade in of junk kumchi this year. This camry will be another good income to my boss.
This is a car forum, no honda and toyota sales man who try to talk coxk here please. You can buy any car you like even the merz if you can afford,there is nothing proud and no need to tell the whole world u are buying honda.
How come I can’t find the price of second hand Camry that you mentioned?
The Camry 2.5 with 8 airbags and CBU Japan made is priced at USD22,000.
This Camry 2.0X is RM160,000 with mere 2 airbags and 80% Made in Malaysia CKD.
So, where is Najib’s promise of reducing car prices? He promised all those who voted for BN that car prices would be reduced by up to 30%. What happened to his Promise?
Get a Honda Accord instead !!! End of story.
Because you dont vote me, how to give you promise?
I agree with your comment but there are a few wrong facts here. The US Camry has standard 10 airbags. And the car is made in Kentucky mind you =,=
Wah 10 airbags? And we Malaysians get only 2 airbags for 3X the price. So, double whammy, we have no pay 3 x the price plus we get much lower safety spec.
Like that, only a real ullible fool will buy a Toyota. I won’t even bother if I know someone is shortchanging me.
you want cheap things?? go die
How come so many people hate my son Same Lor? So many dislikes. I think people know that my son is a Toyota salesman and people are fed up with him condemning Korean cars in every post. I hope he retakes his PMR and at least get a better job.
In 1 minute, the dislike button shut up like nobody business. This is the job of some techni. I can do it also via some software tricks.
EYESORE!! Can’t understand why this “thing” get posted and reposted and reposted…
Excuse me, just because you don’t like it, doesn’t mean nobody does. This is a news site, and yes, this is news. New details and new pictures. For those interested to buy a new car in this price range, this information is invaluable, for them to decide for or against this car. Just because it’s of no use to you, doesn’t mean it’s useless information for everyone on this website.
Why ? Camry look so nice that Hyundai is copying it for their 2015 Sonata.
Aiseh De La Junk, the Toyota salesman, always come and talk bad about Korean cars. You are one sad dude, no love from your family is it? Or cannot afford a Hyundai until you so bitter? Still waiting at Bangkok Bank for your bas and full of recentment for your friends who own Hyundai.
Why you said we have no love to your kimchi cars?
First I NEVER say it is junk! (Excepted the J class Proton.)
Second I am glad to see kimchi car trying hard to close the gap, so that those who want to get rid of Proton but can’t afford T/H/S/M has a choice.
Third, recent kimchi models help attract ppl, so our salesroom is not over crowded. I have more break while sales goes up.
Kimchi car helped us a big deal!
After all, kimchi car low RV is a fact (same like Malaysia has no winter), why so hard to admit?
Really????hyundai copying toyota camry for their sonata…..
*yawn* oh boy, those photos are better than sleeping pills. *yawn*
Nice Leather.
unless you really need a Camry to drive, or simply want a more special Camry, you should wait at least for the updated version to arrive. the value will be decreased definitely when the updated version arrives, so don’t bother.
or just buy other D-Segment cars.
honda accord more2 better than this camry, they can introduce various of spec but the engine and gearbox are still the same. The 2 airbags for rm159k car? totally not worth at all.
So if I want bodykit for this Camry X, I need to top up another RM2700?
You think my money easy to make is it?
I’ll get a JZX100 instead
Oh my eyes hurt everytime i look at this GX… but fortunately today the Castrol girl more than enough makes up for it :)
wait & see this on road… i guess 1 hand enough to count …. 1.2.3.4…….
Well, US Camry “major facelift” will be launched in April …. where it was mentioned more aggresive styling to defend their 12 year record sales in USA.
Let’s see when does the new so called more aggresive styling facelift arrives in Malaysia or being adopted for our Asian centric Camry.
Maybe want to wait facelift or rebate 8000-10000 to buy this most expansive sushi kosong car
Toyota camry still want to sell at such high price. Come on lar.. toyota your camry selling already been so bad still want to untung kaw kaw. PLease lar learn from kia k5 and honda city.
what to do ler? taxes everywhere, business only aim profits…since they know their brand is reputable, of cos they will try to sell at higher price…is all about economics. They put at that price tag, and the quantity demanded not going down…so in conclusion, that’s the price~
I wonder how many Kia K5 compared to Toyota Camry on the Road.
mazda 6 is much better than this camry and accord. fullstop!
mazda 6 FTW
Clearly the only reason why UMW is churning out new variants for the Camry is only because it knows that the Camry isn’t selling as well as they expected.
I hardly see the new generation Camry on the road compared to other D segment cars.
X marks the ignorance one can have to actually buy it, seriously unsafe.
Safety is not a luxury but a necessity.
I do support U. ::
My Style is like that:
Safety = 50%, Reliability = 50%.
Both Share the Same Amount of Priority For Me.
UMW TOYOTA really makes buyers feel short changed.. I bought the 2.0G with nothing much of features, and now they are offering additional features with only one thousand extra…
Hey, UMW, u should atleast compensate owners like us with a touch screen unit, or else i will consider “terminate” my 10 year old relationship with ur company and look for a BETTER “spouse” (easily)
Is it like those who bought new Camry early on without VSC then they added VSC in??
And now they shortchanged customers one more time.
Just thrash your Camry in front of their showroom as protest and put the film on Youtube like how the auntie thrash her Mercedes due to poor service.
i think its better to be rational rather than doing stupid actions which u will regret later…i bet u wont hv the guts to smash ur own car also…
By the wau, the after sales service from toyota is the best among other non luxury brands.
the most rational thing to do is to drive your current car until it cannot move anymore. This way, nobody will buy new car and the killing will stop.
That is not all. Ask anyone who owns both Honda and Toyota. They will tell you, every time send their Toyota for service, UMW hantam them maximum and the bill is always in the thousands. Honda on the other hand, bill always in the hundreds.
Ask any Toyota owner and ask any Honda owner. Do yourself a survey. At the end of 10 years, you would have paid Toyota more than the price you paid for your car!
Honda sales man talk coxk sing song here
@BoXy, you already mentioned ‘2.0G with nothing much of features’ yet you still buy. You cannot blame anyone but yourself.
Seriously it is 4 speed GB? I thought that was the previous gen.
What’s wrong withn4 speed.? Not safe? More expensive to maintain compared with CTV? More fuel consumption and how many %? Lower top speed ?
Please don’t use the word “old technology” as the excuse. Please show us with fact and data.
ANYONE ?
Why Toyota doesn’t use three speed GB?
What’s wrong with 3 speed? Not safe? More expensive to maintain compared with CTV? More fuel consumption and how many %? Lower top speed ?
CTV!!
CTV!!
CTV!!
Hahahhaaahahahahahah
Hahahahahahhahahahah
No wonder still got people buy Camry, they know nothing!!!
We Can Buy Camry 2500cc Dual VVT-i 6-AT.
6 Speed Camry 2.5.
Still a poor man’s Mercedes
i go for Honda Accord 2.0 VTi-L
I still wont buy Camry, even it is X, Y, Z or whatever…..
Even my uncle that is 68 years old is saying the camry design is outdated….
I wonder if the toyota designers are a bunch of people that know nothing about beauty and relevence.
desperados….after losing money last year, UMW still want to try hard selling this…
What’s wrong with 4 speed slushboxes? For one, the lack of appropriate gearing means you are going to be either overrevving or short on torque. It doesn’t help that the engines aren’t much to shout about either. This makes for a snoozematic powertrain.
If that so, how there are still big arguments on 4 speed vs 5 speed and 6 speed ( please surf the net) without any clear conclusions?
Just surf the net, how come expert says 4 speed is faster than 5 speed in 0-100 accerelation ? Why some of them says 4 speed tranny is safer? And why some says 4 speed does not directly translated into fuel consumption?
The 2015 Sonata looks most like the 2015 Legacy. Freaky!
what kind of boxy design is this? metal junk with outdated technology, got enough power and torque to pull this big box or not? I don’t see many new camrys on the road these days, now mostly dominated by continental cars and japanese such as honda, mazda. the only toyota worth buying is their hybrid, that’s all. gone are the days where toyota has high resale value. demand is simply dropping and supply increasing.
X??? puiii!
yes, another round of conning people into getting this funny and boring car again, why not a camry trd? why this X, what does it mean?
add a little, increase the price, good, i love it, create a new model camry trd sell at RM220k and add some sport rims and spoiler, iam sure some uncle will buy them. imagine an old uncle with t shirt and jeans with a nice sun glass driving the camry trd, whoa i am sure he is dam proud.
shiok, pandu camry trd, lagi best.
remember ya umw, sell as expensive as you like, sure got people buy one,
haha .. ,2.0 GX ?????
This is so funny and boring and boring and boring ~~
Add 7K more and I can get a full Spec honda Accord. This is one over-priced piece of crap
RV? now with less people buying the Camry, i want to see what RV they have and also 3 years vs 5 years warranty.
I am waiting for the new Sonata!
3 years warranty is outdated. Now, everybody gives 5 years warranty. Even Hyundai and Proton give 5 years warranty. This is a real no brainer, better to buy an Accord with 5 years warranty than this trash with only 2 airbags. In an accident, husband and wife both alive because of the SRS airbag, but all the children sitting at the back, all mati! (no rear airbag)
UMW is going the Perodua way.
Soon Camry Pink will come out, for ladies only. Guys don’t get it.
Changing my old camry to this one…hope my balak harvest is increasing this year so that i could get a new land cruiser oso….
hi paul tan, why dont you boycott from covering any news from UMW? see if they finally start to buck up with their offerings
a few months later, UMW will launch a new Camry variant… J version ! new low cost version since it’s overpriced
just visited the toyota showroom. waiting period 2 months for Camry 2.0 GX ???????
According to Toyota Malaysia, safety has been improved across the Camry range, with features such as Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRC), Hill-start Assist Control (HAC), and 7 airbags now being offered as standard. tis is latest by 2017 release… yes they are doing something..
