DETROIT — Toyota has finally unveiled its 2010 Toyota Camry, with a subtle face-lift inside and out, at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show. The new Camry follows on the heels of the automaker's 2010 Prius and FT-EV concept.
Exterior changes include a new grille and front bumper as well as restyled taillights. All SE models get sporty 17-inch alloys, while the XLE variant gets 16-inch wheels. The Camry Hybrid has a unique grille and a set of 16-inch alloy wheels.
The interior has been revamped with a USB port for audio connectivity, Bluetooth, satellite radio and MP3 and streaming music capability. Vehicle Stability Control is now standard on all models.
LE and XLE grades will have an upgraded powertrain with the new 2.5-liter four-cylinder VVT-i engine that makes 169 horsepower. The SE gets a little more out of the same engine and has 179 hp. The engine can be mated to either a six-speed automatic or a six-speed manual gearbox.
The refreshed Toyota is set to go on sale this March, and pricing details will be released shortly before it hits dealers.
Inside Line says: Toyota enhances comfort and performance on its vehicle that has been the bestselling passenger car in America for seven years running. — Mike Lysaght, Correspondent
