To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the original Celica
Camry’s birth in Japan, the automaker has launched the Camry Black Edition in
its home market.
The Toyota Camry Black Edition brings a darker
exterior appearance combined with sporty features and a more upscale interior.
Customers can choose between three body colors: Precious Black Pearl, Platinum
White Pearl Mica and Emotional Red II. The white and red paints are also
available in a two-tone look with Attitude Black Mica roof.
Based on the range-topping WS grade, the
Camry Black Edition also sports black 18-inch aluminum wheels, “smoke-like”
front lower grill moldings, as well as smoke extension decorations for the
headlights and taillights.
Inside, the JDM Toyota Camry Black Edition
features a standard red or black leather interior with heated front seats and
power adjustment for the front passenger. Leather is found on the seats,
dashboard, center armrest and door panels, creating a lively ambience.
In addition to these styling tweaks
exclusive to the Black Edition, Toyota has also improved the Camry lineup’s
driver assistance systems. The Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross Traffic Auto
Brake are now standard on all models, as is the Parking Support Brake system.
Nothing changes under the hood, with the
Camry Black Edition featuring the same 178 PS THS II 2.5-liter hybrid
powertrain as lesser models. Prices start from 4,208,000 yen (US$ 39,790) for the
2WD model and 4,406,000 yen (US$ 41,660) for the E-Four variant.
