Toyota Camry.
Last Updated:
The current “new” Toyota Camry came out just about a year ago. And a new design is not expected for another couple of years, at least.
The next generation is already scheduled to get an all-new Hybrid tech that could eventually include Toyota‘s first use of the long-awaited solid-state batteries. The system will also use Toyota’s all-new and more efficient 1.5 Liter and 2.0 Liter engines. This future generation of PHEVs could get double the EV range of current models.
First Toyota will introduce a new “performance battery” with an increase in EV range of up to 40%, in a couple of years. The solid-state units will come out 2 years later. Both are expected to be introduced in hybrid models first.
The current generation Camry is just a heavy facelift of the 2017 model, with a new front and rear end. As well as a redesigned interior. Otherwise, most of the design is from 2017. With a new Corolla probably coming next year with all-new engines, the current Camry could be aging pretty fast…
The next-generation Corolla is also expected to use Toyota’s all-new 1.5-liter engine. In base, Turbo, and hybrid versions. This and a larger 2.0-liter will basically replace almost every single 2.4-liter and 2.5-liter engine Toyota is currently using in most of its lineup. The Camry will not be left behind for long. Either new engines will be offered in the current body in a couple of years. Or we could see an all-new design in 2 to 3 years. Since the current one isn’t truly a new generation anyway.
The standard Camry engine could quickly use the new 1.5-liter hybrid powertrain. A PHEV version of the next-generation Corolla is also a strong rumor, and again, something the Camry might have to offer as well sooner than later.
The illustrations above show what a truly new Camry could look like in 2 or 3 years. In a world where the Toyota Camry would suddenly become quite futuristic…
