The 2018 Toyota Camry has been snapped undergoing hot weather testing in the Death Valley, USA. While this prototype racking up miles in the lowest, driest, and hottest zone in North America is clearly a midsize Toyota, it’s heavily covered with black disguise. Nothing radical in the little that we can see, and there’s not much difference from the previous round of pics.
The 2018 Camry should be have a bright and airy cabin, as we can see large side windows and low shoulder line on this mule (the wing mirrors are door mounted). The face should be an evolution of Toyota’s current (and rather aggressive) family face, as seen on the latest USDM Corolla. However, this would be for North America – the rest of the world should get a more sober appearance.
According to Car and Driver, the next-generation Camry will ride on Toyota’s new TNGA modular platform that underpins the new Prius. The mag says that weight-reduction is a priority, and aluminium could be used for the hood and other body bits.
C/D adds that it’s likely that the next Camry will come only with four-cylinder engines. They’re expecting an NA starter (possibly an updated version of today’s 2.5L), a 2.0 litre downsized turbo engine that will replace today’s big 3.5L V6 and a hybrid variant. A sporty TRD-tuned version could be on the cards, too.
America’s top selling passenger car should surface later this year, or even at next year’s season opening Detroit Motor Show. Stay tuned!

Camry coming in 2018 in USA with aggressive look for North America only..The rest of the world will get the sober one.Meaning the design like boxy,squared and weird proportion body,ugly taillight and copy paste frontal headlamp.Oh not to mention Malaysia only get new 2 years after first launch which is on 2020.. Don’t wait & don’t dream like USA citizen.UMW will give 2 airbags only plus hidious looking.Want more pay another hefty 25k.Crazy? Accord facelift is superb in its class here,6 airbags all variant.Look awesome! Say bye to UMW!!
i thought it was preve
No matter what Malaysians said…camry is still the best selling car in the US for 12th consecutive year…kudos toyota…
I don’t believe you. The Americans must be stupid. Camry only 2 airbags. Accord has 6 airbags.
Moving to death valley? No wonder packed with rubbish plastics
You get no wrong with this king Camry. Sushi car Good RV!
not the one we will be getting right? Only for australia and north america market?
Well the 2016 Toyota Wingroad is already using the 2.0T 4 pot in their range topper in China, in place of a NA V6 engine, so it is expected. But I wished Toyota would have upped their hybrid model, with HP and NM bump on the Hybrid Power plant package. With all the profits Toyota is milking around the world for each of their cars sold, the least they could have done is to make their cars more value for money, especially the Camry…..seems like their cars are expensive around their world, in comparison to similar Japanese or American brands of the same category….
Betul tu. Toyota cars many defects & recalls.
With the recent new aggressive design from chr, hopefully toyota can come with a more non-uncle design. something more young and aggressive, so all uncle who drive it feel young at drive.
Consider a used Sonata. Great value for money
True, or your son saga. Good RV too
I must say this new Camry won’t be better than the current accord what more the all new one also coming soon. But Camry has great followings in market like north america and difficult for Honda to beat its sales figure.
correction, 2016 Toyota Highlander (a.k.a Kluger) in china, already uses Toyota’s 2.0T 4 cylinder for the range topper.. So no suprise the will use this powerplant in place of their V6. Even Lexus NX200T is using the same engine. But Seriously, if only the ‘Management’ in UMW Toyota could launch the 2016 Toyota Highlander 2.0T 7 seater in Malaysia, I am very sure it will corner the market..compared to the current crappy, overpriced Fortuner…But alas, we the Rakyat are deprived of such nice, reasonably priced, well specced cars….it is either overpriced 3 world junk or 2nd hand hand-me downs from UK and Japan..sold at crazy prices…..very sad indeed..!!
With aggressive look, 2.0 turbo, 8 speed gears. Priced below 200k. I will consider one.
Why doesn’t Toyota send the car to the world class Perodua test track? No need to test elsewhere, just use the test track is enough. They can test everything there.
Test on normal road yet still cannot solve loud coarse Campro engine and jerking Punch gearbox also useless.
I got my Camry Hybrid last year and barely done a year in it’s repayment, a new one coming out soon?? WTH.
