Unfortunately, while the Camry did briefly find a home here in the UK, this new model is unlikely to return, despite a range of Euro-friendly hybrid engines.\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--GSHolJRC--\/f_auto,t_related-embed-mobile@1\/v1692883838\/autoexpress\/2023\/08\/Best%20executive%20cars%20header%20image.jpg\">Top 10 best executive cars 2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The new Camry\u2019s changes start with its bold new look. Elements shared with other new Toyota models like the Prius and Crown blend with those derived from the previous model, such as the door skins. Most of what you see is new, however, such as the more aggressively sloping windowline and more distinctive front and rear lights.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the USA \u2013\u00a0where the car will initially launch\u00a0\u2013 there\u2019s an option of two distinct design specifications, with a base model and a Sport variant. The latter comes with its own lower bumper design, with a body-coloured mesh grille, larger front openings and an optional two-tone paint finish.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--Rh7chtNo--\/f_auto,t_content-image-full-mobile@1\/v1700066104\/autoexpress\/2023\/11\/Toyota%20Camry%202024%20official-6.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>For the first time, the new Camry will be offered solely with a hybrid powertrain, utilising the brand\u2019s fifth-generation hybrid system that pairs a 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with two electric motors. It drives through a Toyota-typical CVT transmission, but will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive forms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>System power outputs are rated at 225bhp for the two-wheel drive model, with the iAWD model bumping this up to 232bhp. The rear axle is not driven via a mechanical linkage, but uses one of the electric motors to aid traction in slippery conditions rather than for more performance oriented tasks. The suspension has also been re-tuned, with the Sport model picking up its own bespoke calibration with stiffer springs and dampers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The changes are even more dramatic inside, with a totally redesigned dash layout featuring a larger 12.3-inch central touchscreen and digital instrument cluster. The cabin\u2019s material quality has been of particular focus, with new soft-touch finishes applied to the dash and door cards, as well as a more contemporary aesthetic to the overall design.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Those taken by its sleek design will be disappointed to learn that the latest Camry is unlikely to be offered in the UK after the previous model failed to find enough of an audience to justify its place in the Toyota range. At least we\u2019ll have the stylish new Prius to occupy us.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Do you wish the Camry was coming to the UK?
