UMW Toyota has released more images of the new Toyota Camry 2.0G X variant, which was revealed on its website earlier this week. The Camry 2.0G X, or the Camry X in short, is a new, more upmarket variant of Toyota’s 2.0 litre D-segment sedan, priced at RM159,900 (about RM1,000 more than the standard Camry 2.0G).
These new pictures show the model-specific dark bezel (i.e., smoked) front and tail lamps, dark silver 17-inch wheels (same design as the Camry 2.5V’s), dark brown leather upholstery and interior wood trim. Standard HID (xenon) headlights, plus powered rear blind and manual rear side window shades bring it closer to the range-topping 2.5V.
The Aerokit pictured here remains a RM2,700 option, along with Toyota Premium Security and Solar Film, which adds on another RM1,900. What is included in the package, however, is UMW’s DVD-AVN touchscreen system (with GPS, Bluetooth and reverse camera functions) that is a RM2,990 upgrade on other 2.0 litre models (RM1,800 on the 2.5V).
Mechanically, the Camry X shares the same 148 PS/190 Nm 2.0 litre engine and four-speed automatic gearbox as the 2.0G and 2.0E. Also similar to the mid-spec 2.0G is the safety equipment – so still just two airbags, as well as VSC and TRC (base 2.0E loses out on the last two safety features).

AI-generated Summary ✨
The comments express mostly negative sentiments towards the new Toyota Camry 2.0G X, with many criticizing its design, safety features, and high price. Some commenters found the car ugly, poorly designed, and lacking in safety (only 2 airbags), comparing it unfavorably to competitors like Honda Accord, Mazda6, and Peugeot 508, which offer more features for less. Certain remarks highlighted the outdated 4-speed transmission and questioned the value given the car’s pricing. There are also frustrations over the lack of significant improvements and the perception that UMW is overpricing and under-speccing the model, especially in safety features. A few supporters praised the reliability and comfort of older models, but overall, the majority sentiment is disappointment and criticism of the latest Camry variant.
