TORRANCE, Calif., Feb. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Toyota Motor Sales (TMS),
U.S.A., Inc., announced manufacturer's suggested retail prices (MSRP) today
for the all-new 2007 Camry sedan.
The Toyota Camry, the best-selling car in America four years running and
for eight of the past nine years, is completely redesigned for 2007. The
world-class sedan redefines global standards for comfort, performance and
design.
"With the new 2007 Camry, Toyota once again raises the bar for the family
sedan," said Don Esmond, TMS senior vice president, automotive operations.
"For more than two decades Camry has earned a reputation as the gold standard
for value and this new Camry continues that tradition."
The all-new Camry is powered by an upgraded 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine
equipped with Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i), which features
reduced noise and vibration levels and produces 158 horsepower at 6,000 RPM,
an increase of four horsepower, and 161 lbs-ft. of torque at 4,000 RPM. Fuel
economy is also improved with EPA estimated mpg ratings of 24 city/34 highway
on models equipped with a five-speed manual transmission and 24 city/33
highway when equipped with a five-speed automatic.
For those looking for more power, a new 24-valve, DOHC 3.5-liter V6, which
employs Dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (Dual VVT-i) is available
in the LE, SE and XLE. The new V6 generates 268 horsepower at 6,200 RPM and
248 lbs.-ft. of torque at 4,700 RPM. The V6 is mated to an all-new six-speed
automatic transmission with sequential shift and has EPA estimated fuel
economy ratings of 22 city/31 highway.
All 2007 Camrys are equipped with an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS),
Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist. Vehicle Stability
Control (VSC) with traction control is available as an option.
Seven airbags are now standard on all Camry models. These include
dual-stage advanced SRS airbags, a driver's knee airbag, seat-mounted side
airbags, and side-curtain airbags that help provide coverage for the length of
