Review
Happen to be around Leng Kee and went in to catch a glimpse of this new Camry.

First looks, not much change to the exterior body, only lower CG to attain a more sporty feel but might pose a small issue when go through higher humps. Futuristic front and tail lights is captivating too. More air intakes in this new design as well.

Inside, the speedo and console are of an acceptable sizing and nicely flushed into the dash, unlike the large screen jutted out in Harrier and Rav4 or other brands that does this . Also, a nice panaromic sunroof is there and back seats have privacy to fold up sunshade.

Gearbox and other placements are well thought of and easy of access. Electric seats in both driver and front passenger, plus auto headlights and auto rain sensors are BOTH included. HUD is also given. Only thing is the lack of electric tailgate as a premium sedan.

Latest version of Toyota sensing features like Pre-collision, Radar cruise control (some called adaptive cruise control), Lane assist, Lane departure alert too.

The drive was smooth and was expecting to be draggy and sluggish like the Harrier I driven sometime back, but it was NOT, likely due to sedan is much lighter, which is why quite responsive in both NORMAL and SPORTS mode. Parking is so easy with the adequate sensing.

Overall, its a nice sedan to drive despite its current price of close to quarter million due to rocket COE price.

What I like
Panaromic sunroof
Nicely flushed in dash and console
Responsive powertrain
Toyota sensing and safety features
Wing mirror auto tilted down when reverse gear engaged

What I do not like
No Turbo
Price too steep
No auto tailgate
2.5L, a possible thirsty car too
Too low CG
