The sneak peak of the only four-cylinder car built in Australia was part of the line-off event at the Altona manufacturing plant, where more than 2000 employees celebrated completion of the new vehicle. The fifth-generation Camry will be launched on July 25 and prices and specifications will be revealed closer to that date.
It will go on sale in early August.
The current 2.4-litre, four-cylinder Camry starts at $27,650 and reaches $31,650 for the range-topping Sportivo model. Toyota spokesman Mike Breen says the current Camry model is in runout mode and Toyota doesn't have enough stock to meet the demand.
"That's why sales are down: we can't deliver them. We're building up for the new model," he says. Toyota has invested $450 million to prepare for the new Camry and Aurion models.
Most of this money will be used for new and updated facilities and equipment at Altona.
Toyota Motor Corporation Australia President Ted Okada says: "It is our intention to grow the business, increase domestic market share and develop new export markets, so the logistics of manufacturing and shipping are vital to our efficient operation in Victoria."
The six-cylinder Aurion sedan will arrive later in the year.
