The 2019 Toyota Camry is a high-performance midsize car that offers a lot of features and accessories that earned it high marks with the U.S. News and World Report. Check out some of the features that make the Camry one of the top contenders among its class.

Performance

The 2019 Camry offers a couple of different engine options for its different trim levels. The L, LE, and SE trim levels use a 2.5-liter, dual overhead cam, 16-valve, inline four-cylinder engine capable of 203 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. The XSE and XLE trims have a 3.5-liter, dual overhead cam, 24-valve, V-6 engine that generates 301 horsepower with 267 pound-feet of torque. Both engines come with a hybrid option for increased output and added fuel economy.

The Camry is a front-wheel-drive vehicle that has an eight-speed automatic transmission that is electronically controlled with a sequential shift mode. The suspension uses an independent MacPherson strut configuration in the front, and a multilink setup in the rear gives it excellent control through tight turns as well as a smooth ride over bumpy roads.

As far as gas mileage goes, the Camry rates high in its class and is rated at 22-29 miles per gallon in the city and 32-41 miles on the highway depending on the engine and driving style.

Exterior

There is a sporty elegance to the Camry’s look that comes from an elongated front end and low profile design. The Camry comes in 10 different colors ranging from vibrant reds and blues to matte earth tones. There are a lot of different accessories and accents for the exterior, including LED lights, a sporty grille design, heated mirrors, a power sunroof, High Solar Energy-Absorbing (HSEA) glass, and dual exhaust with chrome tips.

Interior

The interior of the Camry is quite spacious and passengers will have no problem stretching out their legs or avoid hitting their head on the ceiling. Even the backseat is roomy and can comfortably fit three adult passengers. The seats are leather-trimmed fabric on the lower trims with an upgradable option to full leather on the upper trims. Air conditioning comes standard on the Camry and can be upgraded to dual-zone climate control for the front driver and passenger seats.

The Camry uses Toyota’s Entune infotainment system that features a full-color touch screen that varies between 6 and 8 inches depending on the trim. There are a number of entertainment apps available through the Entune system, such as Apple CarPlay, SiriusXM, Android Auto, and Pandora. There is also navigational software available through SiriusXM Traffic that utilizes GPS to track the car’s current location as well as plan trips. Security functions can also be accessed through the infotainment system as well as checking up on the Camry’s various systems.

With its combination of power, performance, and comfort, the Camry is a great choice for anyone looking for their next midsize car. For more information on what the different trim levels have to offer, check out the models that are currently available at Mark Jacobson Toyota.
