The Drive Report: Toyota Camry Hybrid
Story by Parth Charan
Design
The Camry was always big-as-a-barge with grand proportions and long
overhangs. Since the new one is based on the same TNGA-K platform, it
retains those proportions except now a bit more lean, a bit more
streamlined with sharper edges. A sharp crease runs along its
shoulder-line giving it a tauter appearance. The LED headlamps are
slimmer, with a downward-pointing nose and bonnet-lines converging
with the bumper’s highly stylised air-dam to create a more
aggressive and rakish front-end. It’s not quite as razor-sharp as
the new Prius (which looks fantastic) but there’s no mistaking it
for a quintessentially Japanese sedan. You will be forgiven for
mistaking it for a Lexus because it is a) priced like one and b) has
had enough tweaks to bridge the gap between this and the ES even
further. The side profile, enhanced by those 18-inch alloys is pure
Lexus.
