Toyota is all set to launch the new-generation of the Camry in India on January 18, 2019. The new Toyota Camry will be the eight generation of the car globally and the 4thgeneration for the entry level luxury sedan in the country. The company released a teaser video of the car which runs with the ‘Coming Soon' tag. The new Camry will be available with only the hybrid powertrain though and that's made very clear in the video. The new Toyota Camry gets an all-new bodystyle and it makes it look sleeker. The typical evolved design from Toyota bodes well with the new look for the Camry.

The teaser video also shows off the blue accents on the badging, showcasing the hybrid leanings. From what we can see, the Camry will come with a set of larger wheels and a blacked out roof. The new Camry is based on the Toyota New Global Architecture (GA-K) platform that is also found on the Lexus ES sedan in India. Under the hood the Camry gets a 2.5-litre, four cylinder petrol engine mated to a front wheel drive layout. The engine makes 174 bhp and 221 Nm but of course, being a hybrid, is mated to a 116 bhp electric motor. The total power rating on the new Camry will be 205 bhp.
