Unlike Honda with its Modulo accessories, Toyota of late had not introduced TRD Sportivo versions of their cars during launch, and some of its most popular models in Thailand are yet to receive the TRD Sportivo treatment. The new Camry was launched in October 2018 without one, but here it is – the Toyota Camry TRD Sportivo.
The Camry TRD Sportivo builds on the already bold and sporty image of the latest Camry. The bodykit is fronted by a very prominent front bumper spoiler – the chin juts out significantly over the standard car’s. The lip portion is two-tone and there’s a TRD Sportivo emblem in the middle. There’s also a front grille garnish that can be had in silver or black – the red car here gets the latter.
The sides and rear get side skirts and rear bumper extensions in a matching two-tone. The back end is further garnished with an elaborate trunk lid spoiler that resembles those used on hot hatches. The items are available a’la carte from Thai Toyota dealers in black, silver or unpainted.
The red showcar here is a Camry TRD Sportivo wearing the full catalogue of optional accessories for the D-segment sedan. Some of it are pretty (18-inch two-tone rims), some are useful (dashcam, puddle lamps, kick-to-open boot function, air lumbar support), while others are garish (rear bumper upper protector, “kevlar” door handle protectors).
The Camry is available in Thailand in 2.0G, 2.5G, 2.5 Hybrid and 2.5 Hybrid Premium variants, priced from 1.445 million baht (RM185,713) to 1.799 million baht (RM231,210).
The base car is powered by a 2.0 litre naturally aspirated unit with 167 PS/199 Nm, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The 2.5L comes with a Dynamic Force engine with 209 PS/250 Nm, mated to an eight-speed auto. The Hybrid range topper combines a 2.5L petrol engine (178 PS/221 Nm) with a 120 PS/202 Nm electric motor for a total system output of 211 PS. In Malaysia, we have a sole 2.5V (184 PS, 235 Nm, 6AT) priced at RM190k.
What do you think of the TRD Sportivo bodykit and accessories for the Beautiful Monster – suits the car or too much?

What a beautiful car. So attractive and sexy. This clearly shows, Toyota designers work hard. They never goyang kaki in office and lepak.
Their designs are so futuristic that no wonder Camry is the Top 10 best selling car in the world according to JATO

(Like) Toyota Camry 2019

You know that one weird uncle in his 50’s trying to blend in with the youth of today by wearing trackpants and bright coloured sport shoes?
This is exactly that.
This look way much better than Honda Accord
Toyota does not plan to launch the sporty face here in SEA??? Sad…
Thailand is literally in South East Asia lmao
Sales number tell the truth, nobody want Toyota Camry.
Saw the real car.
Some younsters or Ab Beng may think that it is beautiful, as affected by the slogan.
Like an unker wear hip clothing trying to look younger. Epic fail!
you have no taste in design john. tak payah comment la lolz! My toyota cars are the best. High RV, best quality, reliable, classy.
even your idol uses a Vellfire/Alphard! lolz.
Copy paste: “You know that one weird uncle in his 50’s trying to blend in with the youth of today by wearing trackpants and bright coloured sport shoes?
This is exactly that.”
With UMW now letting dealers handle most of sales and service operations, expect the level of customer satisfaction to drop tremendously. 2 years ago Toyota was number 1 in CSI. Last year went down to 6th. What do you expect UMW when most dealers are just genuine chinese businessman who wants maximum profitat the lowest cost.
There must be something wrong with Toyota for a car to look this hideous.
looks fine to me. brand snobs cannot accept toyota. if badge as audi all sure wah.
Way better looking than the 10th gen accord..
One ugly doesn’t make the other ugly more beautiful.
Hideous grill face. Move along now, nothing to see
Typical of UMW. Always giving us low grade toyotas. Thailand giving latest 209 hp engine and 8-speed gearbox. We get old 184 hp engine and 6-speed.
No wonder Toyota Malaysia trails Honda Malaysia by a wide margin in total car sales. In other contries Toyota leads Honda.
So I wonder why Toyota Japan is still keeping UMW as the sole distributor.
Overdesigned bodykit on overdesigned car……
Camry nice car. Consider la pricing tu
Futuristic design but with an outdated engine. Why didn’t we get the new engine like Thailand?
Stylo uncle’s car
