Next-Gen Toyota Camry Spotted Testing In India

Images of the next-gen Toyota Camry sedan have recently surfaced online, and these are the clearest images of the prototype model that we have seen so far. The new eight-generation Camry has already made its global debut, and the fact that Toyota has started testing the car in India indicates that the launch in nearer than we expect. In fact, the carmaker recently introduced an updated and more feature-rich 2018 Toyota Camry in India to keep things relevant until the new-gen model is launched.

The test mule of the new Toyota Camry seen in these images is quite heavily camouflaged and furthermore, we only get the see the rear section of the car here. Having said that, based on some of the exposed bits, especially the exhaust pipe, the car in these images appears to be the hybrid model. This is understandable considering the outgoing Camry is currently only offered in a hybrid format, which means the upcoming car is also likely to get the hybrid avatar. Other exterior elements visible in these images include the new sleek taillamps, chrome door handles and, multi-spoke alloy wheels and the new outside rearview mirrors.

Both versions will come paired to a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). The US model will also get the 3.5-litre V6 petrol motor, which won't be making its way to India.
