2014 Toyota Camry XV50 2.5L 6AT FWD (178 HP)

Vehicle Overview

After constantly adding improvements to the XV50 generation of the wide-body Camry, Toyota introduced a major refreshed version of it in 2014 for the 2015 model year.

The Camry was one of the most successful sedans in the North-American market, especially in the U.S. Its success was based on a few key features such as reliability, interior space, and fuel efficiency. The facelifted version of the XV50 (the fifth generation of the wide-body Camry) also added a pinch of sportiness to the car’s look and behavior, so it could be bought by the younger generation, not only by the older ones.

Toyota said that it replaced around 2000 components from the car, and the exterior look could prove that. The automaker changed every other body panel on the 2015 Camry besides the roof. At the front, it featured a broad grille with a trapezoidal shape and horizontal slats flanked by vertically-mounted slats where the automaker installed the daytime running lights.

The interior remained basically the same, although it featured a new infotainment system fitted with a more responsive 4.2″ touchscreen. Furthermore, the automaker added larger buttons on the center stack to help users find them easier.

Under the hood, Toyota installed a choice of three engines. The base version was a four-pot with a 2.5-liter displacement, while at the other end of the scale was a 200-hp hybrid version. A 3.5-liter V6 was also available.
