2015 Toyota Camry | new car sales price

Improved pricing and expanded hybrid line-up for new eighth-generation Toyota Camry.

Toyota has confirmed full details for the new Camry mid-size sedan, with sharpened pricing across the range.

The final Camry to be produced in Australia will once again be available with either petrol or petrol-electric hybrid drivetrains, the Camry range now starts at $26,490, a drop of $4000 from the starting list price of the outgoing model.

The range has also been expanded to seven models, with the addition of a third hybrid variant.

The starting price for the hybrid range is down by a substantial $5000

For 2015, the Toyota Camry range will start with the $26,490 Altise before moving up to the $29,490 Atara S and $31,990 Atara SX, before topping out with the Atara SL at $37,440.

The inclusion of a hybrid Altise variant has brought the starting price for the petrol-electric range down by a substantial $5000 to $30,490, with the $32,490 Atara S and $40,440 Atara SL rounding off the model range.

Equipment in the Altise includes a reversing camera, 6.1-inch multimedia display and 6 speaker sound system, while it rides on 16-inch alloys.

The Altise Hybrid adds keyless entry/ignition as well as dual-zone air-con.

Both Atara S models add rear parking sensors, an upgraded multimedia system with voice commands and soon-to-be-added Pandora internet radio as well as 17-inch alloys.

Sitting in the middle is the sports-flavoured and non-hybrid Atara SX. The SX features unique styling, rear lip spoiler, leather accented seats and 18-inch alloys.

At the top of the range is the Atara SL trim level. This adds safety features not available in the rest of the range including pre-collision alert with automatic braking, lane departure warning, rear cross traffic alert and blind spot monitoring.

The Atara SL also includes active cruise control, 7-inch touchscreen with satnav and 10-speaker sound, auto wipers and high beam and front parking sensors.

The petrol-powered Camry carries-over the same 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine from the outgoing model, paired to a six-speed automatic transmission. In the Altise, the powerplant will produce 133kW/231Nm, while a slightly different tune in the Atara models produce 135kW/235Nm.

In the hybrid, the petrol engine's outputs are only 118kW/213Nm, however the addition of a 105kW/270Nm electric motor lifts the combined output to 151kW. Power is put to the ground via a CVT automatic transmission.

Fuel efficiency for both drivetrains remains unchanged from the outgoing model with the petrol engine achieving 7.8L/100km on the combined cycle, while the hybrid system achieves 5.2L/100km.
