Unveiled earlier this year and expected to enter production this month, the 2021 Toyota Camry brings a few upgrades for the new model year and small visual revisions that help set the trim levels apart. The mid-size saloon is expected to start arriving at dealers shortly after assembly commences.
While the official website still lists the
2020 Camry, CNET’s Roadshow reports that the 2021 Camry Hybrid will start at US$ 28,265, including a US$ 995 destination charge. This would make it US$ 1,160 more
affordable than the outgoing iteration, whereas the SE grade will be US$ 1,345
cheaper, at US$ 29,780. The XLE’s pricing is understood to drop by US$ 560 to US$ 33,165, whereas the new XSE will launch from US$ 33,715.
Besides the revised bodywork, the 2021
Camry features the Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+ suite of driver assistance gear,
which consists of standard pre-collision system with daylight cyclist and
lowlight pedestrian detection, intersection support, emergency steering assist,
enhanced adaptive cruise control, rear-seat reminder and others.
The base Camry gets a 7-inch touchscreen
display with satellite radio, Amazon Alexa and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto,
whereas the better-specced models have a 9-inch touchscreen and can be ordered
with a JBL premium sound system.
While the Camry Hybrid has become more
affordable for 2021, the gas-powered LE variant still starts at US$ 25,965. The
rest of the range has seen a price hike of US$ 315-US$ 415, save for the TRD, which,
at US$ 33,180, is $1,015 pricier. Going for the range-topping inline-four non-TRD
means paying US$ 31,415, without the AWD system that’s a US$ 1,400 extra, whereas the
V6 XSE will set you back US$ 36,540.
