Popular Models are Priced Lower or the Same
as 2011s

TORRANCE, Calif., August 23, 2011 - - Toyota
Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc. today
announced manufacturer's suggested retail
prices (MSRP) for the all-new,
seventh-generation Camry, America's
best-selling car for nine years running and
13 of the past 14 years. The Camry remains
an excellent value as all popular models
receive either a price decrease or remain
flat in comparison to last generation Camry
models. The 2012 Camry and Camry Hybrid
debut a bold, sophisticated new design with
a more spacious interior, class-leading
safety features, improved driving dynamics
and an even quieter ride than before.
"Despite all of the enhancements to the
all-new Camry, prices for all popular models
have been reduced with dramatic
repositioning on SE, XLE and Hybrid models,
representing the best value in the segment,"
says Bob Carter, Toyota Group Vice President
and General Manager. "Competing in the
industry's most competitive segment, we
expect the Camry to continue as America's
best-selling car."
The all-new Toyota Camry is powered by a
revised 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine
equipped with Variable Valve Timing with
intelligence (VVT-i), which features reduced
noise and vibration levels and produces 178
horsepower, an increase of nine horsepower,
and 170 lbs-ft. of torque. Fuel economy is
also improved with EPA estimated mpg ratings
of 25 city/35 hwy/28 combined. All
four-cylinder models are matched with
six-speed automatic transmissions.
For those looking for more power, a
24-valve, DOHC 3.5-liter V6, which employs
Dual VVT-i is available in the SE and XLE
models. The V6 generates 268 horsepower and
248 lbs.-ft. of torque and is matched to a
six-speed automatic transmission with
sequential shift and has EPA-estimated fuel
economy ratings of 21 city/30 hwy/25
combined.
All 2012 Camrys are equipped with a
class-leading 10 standard airbags, and like
all Toyota models, the Camry will feature
Toyota's Star Safety System™ standard, which
includes Vehicle Stability Control (VSC),
Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Braking

Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist. It also
features the standard Smart Stop Technology
brake-override system. An electronic tire
pressure monitoring system is also standard.
