The all new and upgraded Toyota car enters its eighth generation with the 2018 model, and unlike all the seven generations, the upcoming 2018 Toyota Camry was developed to focused on driving dynamics and deliver an improved driving experience.
2018 Toyota Camry: What You Need To Know On The Hybrid Car?
The 2018 Toyota Camry is America's favorite sedan, according to Car And Driver. The Toyota Camry 2018 was revealed at the 2017 Detroit auto show and bound for dealerships this summer. The team who are just making the upcoming sedan had to confront some severe performance anxiety.
The team faced the freedom afforded by the fresh Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform which signs that Americans are continuing to abandon mid-size sedans and the fact that the current, inoffensively-yours Camry has really been selling well despite industry trends.
As described by US News, TNGA is Toyota’s new way of designing all its vehicles, which Toyota said to help make them more exciting to drive. The Toyota Camry is built with the new GA-K platform, and as a result, the car is lower, broader and more structurally rigid than ever, making it (in theory) more of a driver’s car. The GA-K Camry has, as Toyota describes it, a “more exciting and emotional character.”
Fortunately, the team was never just going to settle for subtle nips and tucks. Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda has demanded more adventurous and exciting designs across the board as part of his aim to prevent the boring cars from Toyota Motor Corporation’s lineup or starters. “It's no secret that I like to involve myself in the design process,” said Toyoda, who made the official presentation of the new 2018 Toyota Camry himself. “My team might call it something else.”
The 2018 Toyota Camry hybrid will pack a fully re-engineered version of company's latest hybrid system, the THS II, which takes advantage of the performance gains in the latest Prius. Toyota has spilled a large amount of effort into the powertrain, striving to strengthen sales of the upgraded Camry hybrid even as gas prices have remained low and sales of the variant have dropped to about five percent of the total Camry sales.
2018 Toyota Camry: Sportier Looks And More Dynamic Performance
According to CNET, the interior designer of the 2018 Toyota Camry wanted to provide a more visually attractive look while retaining a practical and intuitive layout of the car. The front seats were redesigned for the users to be more comfortable and supportive. The refinement is up with the use of higher grade soft-touch elements on major surfaces of the dash part, center console as well as door trim.
Backing the Toyota Camry's sportier looks is a new platform that makes the use of a more ultra-high-strength steel and new molding techniques. In this case, the looks will help to increase the structural rigidity. Combined with a re-engineered rear double wishbone suspension, a 2-inch longer wheelbase and a lower center of gravity, Toyota promises considerably improved driving dynamics performance.
Like the other competitors such as Chevrolet Malibu, Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima who have turned to turbocharged four-cylinders as the engine upgrade option, the 2018 Toyota Camry will be sticking with an updated 3.5-liter V6. The output figures aren't available as of now, but it should punch in at around 268 horsepower, which is what the V6 in the outgoing Camry is rated at.
