The all-new Toyota Camry has been launched in Thailand, where it is available in a choice of four variants – 2.0G AT, 2.5G AT, 2.5 HV AT and 2.5 HV Premium AT. Prices start at 1,445,000 baht (RM181,427) for the base 2.0G AT and peak at 1,799,000 baht (RM225,873) with the 2.5 HV Premium AT.
Under the hood, the 2.0G AT is powered by the E85-compatible 6AR-FBS 2.0 litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine that makes 167 PS at 6,500 rpm and 199 Nm of torque at 4,600 rpm, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The mill continues to feature VVT-iW on the intake side (VVT-i on the exhaust), as well as Toyota’s D-4S port and direct injection system.
Moving up the range, the 2.5G AT packs the new Dynamic Force Engine, specifically the A25A-FKB 2.5 litre NA four-pot with VVT-iE on the intake cam for better response (VVT-i for the exhaust) and D-4S. Designed to also run on E85 ethanol fuel, the engine produces 209 PS at 6,600 rpm and 250 Nm at 5,000 rpm, with an eight-speed automatic transmission sending drive to the front wheels.
The last two remaining variants (2.5HV AT and 2.5 HV Premium AT) both feature a hybrid powertrain that consists of the A25A-FXS 2.5 litre engine (178 PS at 5,700 rpm and 221 Nm from 3,600 to 5,200 rpm) and a 120 PS/202 Nm electric motor for a total system output of 211 PS.
The Toyota Hybrid System II (THS II) also includes supporting members such an E-CVT for the transmission and a 6.5 Ah nickel-metal hydride battery located under the rear seat. The latter allows for a lower centre of gravity without compromising luggage space, but the fuel tank size holds 10 litres less fuel compared to non-hybrid Camry variants (60 litres). On a related note, the hybrid versions are compatible with E20 ethanol fuel.
The Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) underpins the new Camry, giving it a 50 mm longer wheelbase (now 2,825 mm) compared to the outgoing model; it is also 35 mm longer (now 4,885 mm), 15 mm wider (now 1,840 mm) and 25 mm shorter (now 1,445 mm). All variants have MacPherson struts at the front, while double wishbone suspension is used at the rear.
In terms of exterior equipment, the 2.0G AT sports 16-inch wheels shod with 205/65 profile tyres, along with LED-type headlamps and taillights. Going up to the 2.5G AT gets you larger wheels that measure 18-inchs with 235/45 profile tyres, a sunroof, and twin exhausts. The hybrids come with 17-inch wheels (215/55 profile tyres), tweaked LED headlamps, and additional chrome accents.
Inside, all variants come with eight-way powered front seats, leather upholstery, wireless charger, keyless entry and start, rear sunshades, and a multi-info instrument cluster display (7-inch for hybrids, 4.2-inch for the rest).
The top-spec variant gets the most goodies with triple-zone climate control (dual-zone for the rest), touchscreen air-con control in the rear armrest, lumbar adjustment for both driver and front passenger, ventilated front seats, head-up display, and an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system linked to a nine-speaker JBL sound system.
Hybrid variants also come with the T-Connect telematics system that gives customers access to functions such as vehicle locator, service reminder and appointment, onboard hotspot, concierge service, SOS, roadside assist, and emergency services hailing.
All Thailand-spec Camry variants come with no less than seven airbags (front, side, curtain, and driver’s knee), save for the 2.5 HV Premium AT that gets nine (plus rear seat). The kit list also includes VSC, traction control, ABS, EBD, BA, blind spot monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Hill-start Assist Control.
The range topper is the only one that gets the Toyota Safety Sense suite of systems, which include Pre-collision System, Lane Departure Alert, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control and Automatic High Beam.
Buyers will get to choose from four exterior body colours – Burning Black, Phantom Brown, Graphite Metallic, Attitude Black, Silver Metallic, Premium Red, and Platinum White Pearl – with the first three options paired with a beige interior; the remaining four colours get a black interior instead.
Over on our side of the world, UMW Toyota Motor has started teasing the new Camry, and has allowed the public to register their interest. The company also emphasised that something big is set to take place on November 1, so stay tuned.

Eh, you were saying that Thailand prices were more cheaper than Malaysia, but now this proves that you were lying all along. Why the barefaced lie bro?

2016 Camry 2.0G harga hanya RM 87,800
2016 Camry 2.5 Hybrid hanya RM 112,800
Nilai jualan semula byk bagus.
As usual our neighbors get more goodies than us.
Becoz neighbors paid alot more than us.
It only seems so. That’s only because our ringgit depreciated a lot against the Thai baht.
Recalculate base on 1rm = 10 baht and see what price u get?
That would make it about Rm180k which is still more expensive than our top spec. So what are you trying to say? That no matter what, Thailand prices is still more expensive?
RM freefall in 2015 killed it.
199 Nm of torque at 4,600 rpm
So 90’s, it is engine from museum
So this new Camry come from Hyundai plant right?
What means?
This car will be a hot selle rin Thailand. In Malaysia also it will be a hot seller. This is why basher john is hiding now. Don’t know how to tanggung malu. Nobody is buying his Perdana at all. Zero orders.
Everyone wants the new Camry. Already got thousands of interested buyers.
I totally agree with you.
Wat about most important thing to all ah beng, bodykit and design for the top range? In Amerika u get superb Wing like front design to differentiate from uncle base.model
Price from rm181k after direct conversion. Reach mesia price from rm190k.
The seats look so comfy. Now all the uncles can sleep in this Camry comfortably while waiting for aunties go shopping.
Fuh the base model almost RM200k
Wow… RM181k for a Toyota Camry 2.0L petrol engine. Steep price indeed… Accord or Civic Turbo is a better buy
If cannot afford u stick to Honda lah. Just like if cannot afford Apple buy Samsung or Mate lah.
omg … so damn ugly.
(Like) Mazda6 GVC
(Unlike) Toyota Camry TNGA
Aaa.. Design is beautiful. Why bother so much about the engines and tech?
Beautiful ? Why mouth so big? Got turbo kah?
Kahkahkah
This Camry can kill easily accordana & x70. More people buy camry than x70. Mark my word.
Unkers will quickly put down deposit without even knowing how much & when it’ll be launched here. T-O-Y-O-T-A mah.
Throw in a 10 year old engine & 4AT also never mind. Reliable & proven mah.
RV sure confirm one. Unkers don’t want to lose money one.
Put CD player also never mind. Unkers Canto pop greatest hits still CD. SMLJ mp3 or Spotify.
UMWT sure untung kau² one. T-O-Y-O-T-A mah.
OMG that 8 speed gearbox i can’t wait to smoke civic turbo
Sadly absent for Malaysia markets.
You can wait long, long time because we are not getting the new engines. Still the same powertrains from the current Camry brought over.
Honda steering wheel? Lolz!
When All New Accord? This one keeps getting uglier in every generation while Accord keeps getting better in every generation.
I’m not surprised if Malaysia doesn’t get the new Dynamic Force engine but Where’s the rationale when only the top range Camry gets the Safety Sense while the lower spec models do not? So the Rush is safer than the lower specced Camry?
New Camry-the power of nightmares for aunty whose husband care more about his car who ratyer spend more time wit their car than aunty
Better the Unker spend time on the car than a second wife.
Where are the Mazda haters that always said they were overpriced ?
They became Ford haters apparently.
Buy buy buy….can’t go wrong with a Toyota:)
Old engine, tamau la

Old engine, old engine.. but in the end you see tonnes of this car on the road.
Consider a used Sonata. Much better value for money
Price is RM195, OVERPRICED for an old engine!! NO THANKS! Going for Infinity Q50/ Mazda 6/BM, more class!
Nice to see the latest 167/209PS Dynamic Force engines, not the prev gen engines. New Corolla hatch on 1 Nov??
