The SX is the upper-mid grade for the 2021 Camry range, and is now available exclusively as a hybrid, with the V6 ending its run in Australia.

The 2.5-litre four-cylinder hybrid SX wears a before-on-roads cost (MSRP) of $39,190 and comes with a host of sporty enhancements over the Ascent and Ascent Sport, including bodywork, 19-inch alloy wheels, and a bespoke suspension tune.

It also gains leather-appointed interior trim, and paddle-shifters for the transmission. This adds to the items on lower grades, which include fully automatic LED headlights, dual-zone climate control, a 9.0-inch multimedia touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, built-in sat nav, push-start ignition and keyless entry, as well as a wide-angle reversing camera.

The SX comes with the full active safety suite including auto emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane-keep assist with lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, traffic-sign recognition, and adaptive cruise control. All Camry variants have a five-star ANCAP safety rating awarded in 2017.

The 2.5-litre four-cylinder hybrid engine provides a combined output of 160kW/221Nm and drives the front wheels only via a continuously variable automatic transmission.

Despite studying ancient history and law at university, it makes sense Tom ended up writing about cars, as he spent the majority of his waking hours finding ways to drive as many as possible. His fascination with automobiles was also accompanied by an affinity for technology growing up, and he is just as comfortable tinkering with gadgets as he is behind the wheel. His time at CarsGuide has given him a nose for industry news and developments at the forefront of car technology.
