camel color seat and a panoramic sunroof? malaysia could never. (sad)
If you join any car market survey, they will ask you about the seat colours, sunroof etc. Most will say black interior & no sunroof. I joined lots of car survey and usually I’m the only one to agree with other colour’s scheme & sunroof hahaha. I think they do take our opinion seriously cause 1 time i joined a year before WR-V was launched & the show car used old BR-V steering. We all ask them to change the steering to newer ones & eventually they did.
so sad that malaysians are so vanilla. gimme camel seats. gimme burgundy seats. gimme olive color seats. like give us options goddamnit. i can forgive the omission of a sunroof but i have one on my car and it’s just a nice feature to have. again, we don’t even have the option to include niceties and it’s such a bummer.
looking at lexus malaysia’s lineup, all dont have panoramic sunroof.. we can expect its gonna be the same for camry.. such a disappointment
Omg! What a beauty!
stop claiming the rear uses a double wishbone system, it is a 4 link setup with a trailing arm just like what most IRS systems employ out there.
Too little, too late to response
Kita ada Geli siapa nak beli Camry
Two toned wheel is beautiful.
Design interior & exterior are exceptional.
DRCC and other convenience and safety features are commendable.
Just don’t bring the what ever glass roof you want to call it. Not welcome here, water leaking, hot weather, coconut tree, falling branches etc, high cost of insurance coverage.
220k for a Camury…
UMW price starting from RM200k…
If this exact same spec come to Malaysia, why would you buy Lexus ES over this? Unless you devour power boot lid lmao
Front look nice, side look ok, rear look ugly, interior lagi ugly.
I think it actually looks good.
Unattractive front headlights and rear lights design ! Out !
hybrid come until here >250k … lousy UMW pricing…
238k for Petrol, 278k for Hybrid. huhu
Those crab claw tail light is max fugly to an otherwise beautiful front
Is it coming to Malaysia?
Toyota Camry
How come malaysia don’t get the latest models? Always we get1 or 2 yr old stock. It’s like we are the dumping ground for old stock.
Say whatever you want at least Camry got facelift and many rich loyal customers. H Accord totally dead.
