In a recent announcement, Toyota said that the new generation Camry will be officially launched on November 14th.
Camry the current generation was introduced in 2017 and the improvement of this model is necessary for Toyota to maintain its competitive advantage, especially when rivals like Honda Accord or Kia K5 have already updated their new versions.
An important information has been confirmed that the 2024 Camry will use a hybrid system combined with a full-time AWD 4WD system. Toyota may provide this sedan with the Hybrid Max drivetrain, which includes a 2.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder gasoline engine with two electric motors. In the new Toyota Crown, this engine has a power of 340 horsepower, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and paddle shifters on the steering wheel.

The design of this sedan is still kept secret, but a leaked image shows that the 2024 Camry has a front headlight cluster that resembles the Prius. The rear of the car also has changes with new taillights and the word “Camry” placed high on the trunk lid.

Looking at the Vietnamese car market right now and humorously comparing it, we will see Camry as a well-behaved young girl, not outstanding in every aspect but easily becoming the choice of the “other half”. Teana, on the other hand, is like a dignified and tranquil woman, full of courage. Meanwhile, Mazda6 is like a hot girl, quickly attracting and captivating anyone’s gaze from the first encounter. As for Accord – with the elegance and experiences of a U30 lady, even though she is always praised by everyone, she hides something “difficult to deal with” in the minds of the majority.
