Toyota Camry named 2018 North American Car of the Year Finalist
Widely described as the “Oscars of the Auto Industry”, the North American Car, Utility and Truck of the Year Awards were recently announced and once again Toyota was in the thick of the action, with the Toyota Camry named a finalist for 2018 Car of the Year honours. Here we will look at what makes the latest version of this iconic vehicle so very special.
State-of-the-art tech
Modern drivers will love the new Camry, as it has a wealth of high tech features and functions on board. For example, Entune 3.0 connects you with the things that matter most, such as the latest weather and traffic news as well as apps such as Sports, Yelp, Slacker, and Stocks, while the available Destination Assist provides 24 hour navigational assistance wherever you are via a live agent. Additional tech highlights available include Qi Wireless Charging, a Smart Key System with Push Button Start, and a Bird’s Eye View Monitor with Clearance Sonar system.
An engine to suit you
The 2018 Camry comes in a range of fantastic engine options, each of which offers the ideal mix of power and efficiency. The 2.5L 4-cylinder unit generates up to 202 horsepower and requires just 8.1L/100km (city) and 5.7L/100km (highway) of fuel, while the 3.5L V6 cranks out an impressive 304 horsepower at 10.7L/100km (city) and 7.4L/100km (highway). The new Camry is also available in a hybrid engine option that produces up to 208 net horsepower and is stunningly efficient, needing just 4.9L/100km in the city and 4.8L/100km on the highway.
Next-level safety
The new Camry was designed and built with safety firmly in mind and there is no bigger highlight than the Toyota Safety Sense P system that comes standard. Its many capabilities include a Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Automatic High Beams, 10 airbags, and a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection. This remarkable ride also boasts the award-winning Toyota Star Safety System, while available upgrades include a Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
Premium comfort
This head-turning Toyota feels just as good as it looks. There is plenty of head, leg, and shoulder room; every seat has been ergonomically designed, and you’ll find soft touch materials right throughout the cabin of the vehicle. Better yet, heated seats provide a heavenly touch all winter long, solar energy absorbing glass reduces glare, and the available panoramic moonroof makes summer days and starry nights that much better. The 2018 Camry also boasts a Keyless Entry trunk release that makes loading and unloading a piece of cake.
