2010 Toyota Camry V6

(continued from above)

The best-selling passenger car in America for seven years running and 11 of the past 12 years, the Toyota Camry is available in four-cylinder and V6 models, and as the Camry Hybrid, equipped with Toyota's industry-leading Hybrid Synergy Drive. The Camry is available in Camry, LE, SE, and XLE grades.

A new 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine equipped with variable valve timing with intelligence (VVT-i) produces 169 hp for Camry, LE and XLE grades, replacing a 158 hp 2.4-liter engine. For sporty performance, the SE grade gets additional tuning to offer 179 horsepower. The new engine can be combined with a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic transmission with sequential shift. The available 268 horsepower 3.5-liter V6 continues with a six-speed automatic transmission as standard.

Exterior changes to the gas model Camry include a newly designed grille and front bumper, an enlarged lower intake, larger projector headlamps and restyled tail lamps. The Camry and LE grades feature restyled standard wheel covers. The XLE grade is equipped with new 16-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels, and the SE grade adds new 17-inch alloy wheels.

Inside, all 2010 Camry models gain auto up/down power windows with jam protection on all four doors. Camry and LE grades are available with an optional audio system featuring a new USB port for auxiliary music sources, Bluetooth, integrated satellite radio, single-CD, and MP3 and streaming music capability.

Camry XLE and SE four-cylinder automatic models are now available with the Smart Key System featuring push button start and remote illuminated entry.
