Yoshinori Matsunaga, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Russia General Director, said: “This full model change was a great opportunity for our employees to learn new skills and get extensive new knowledge. We are now fully prepared and very proud of our vehicle, its quality and safety features.”
While based on the North American 2012 Camry, the Russian-spec model gains a unique front end with bespoke headlamp, bumper, hood, grille and front fender designs as well as its own set of tail lamps. The new 2012 Camry is available with a choice of two petrol engines in Russia, a newly developed 2.5-litre 4-cylinder unit and an upgraded 3.5-litre, Euro V compliant, V6. Both powerplants are fitted with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
The move was designed to help Toyota expand its presence in Eastern Europe, with the Camry particularly popular in Russia and other Eastern European countries. As a result, Toyota has begun production of the new 2012 Camry at its Toyota Motor Manufacturing Russia (TMMR) plant in St. Petersburg, Russia. The factory has been in operation since 2007, and had been assembling the previous generation Camry sedan for the Eastern European markets since its inception.
