Greetings to all car enthusiasts! My small review concerns the brand new Camry XV70, which I bought at the end of April. Back in early February, he was the first of all Bashkiria to make an advance payment, but he received the car about two months later. I didn’t like that the car was provided with additional equipment, although the order on my part was without it. And the price was immediately raised by 150 thousand rubles!. After bargaining, the price was reduced to 100 thousand rubles. If I had known in advance that there would be such nonsense, I would not have resorted to the services of this salon, it feels like I am buying some kind of Creta that is in line, and here is a business sedan for 1.8 million. An unpleasant impression. But due to the end of my vacation, I did not refuse to buy. But apparently in vain.
Of course, the view of the car is beautiful, you can’t say anything. Its undoubted advantages include comfortable seats, a fairly comfortable steering wheel, and what I especially liked was the soft suspension - it swallows almost all holes and rides like a ship. But that's where the positives seem to end.
Xenon headlights - the far one still shines, but the near one is generally no good. Some kind of problem with the left headlight, which shines somewhere into the ground. The halogen headlights on my pre Corolla don't compare to these, they were much better.
The operation of the gearbox is like a robot on Vesta, all twitchy. At a speed of 50-60 km / h, you start to put pressure on the trigger, but nothing happens for 2-3 seconds, and then suddenly the speed instantly increases to 5-6 thousand and the car abruptly breaks down. And don’t tell me that you need to adapt to it, etc. - this is not Vesta where it’s normal for such money, this is a car for almost 2 million, I don’t have to think about how to press the pedal so that the machine understands me.
Yes, the suspension is comfortable but the rear should be a little stiffer. On our roads, like a washboard, at a speed of 120-140 km / h, the feed of the car only managed to swing up and down, although there were 5 passengers with luggage in the cabin.
As for sound insulation, it is also from the category of mediocre, especially when driving on old asphalt. There is a feeling that you even hear the noise of bearings, and not just rubber. Because of the high tunnel, it is quite uncomfortable for three to sit in the back seat.
And most importantly: the most expensive Camry is on display for a test drive. Here is a 3.5 liter engine, and a new 8-speed gearbox, which is a pleasure to ride - I tested it myself.
But when buying a mid-range Camry, comfort disappears somewhere. I have a 2.5 liter engine and an old 6-speed automatic. It turns out heaven and earth. So if you are going to buy, then take either the top 3.5 liter one or first ride on 2.5 in the configuration you need. Otherwise you will be disappointed.
Toyota Camry is a front-wheel drive business class sedan (aka the “E” segment according to the European classification), which combines a solid design, reliable construction, a high level of comfort and safety, as well as rich equipment (and all this for a relatively affordable price) .
The premiere of the Toyota Camry sedan in the new V70 body for the North American market took place at the Detroit Auto Show in 2017. Later it became known that the European version of the model, which will be sold in Russia, will receive a similar appearance and interior, but slightly different engines.
The new Toyota Camry 2018 (photo, price) impresses with its bold design that creates a sporty mood. In the US, the car is available in two design options - the usual for L, LE and XLE trim levels and aggressive for SE and XSE versions. The last one, unfortunately, will not be sold.
The first received a truly huge grille across the entire width of the front bumper with horizontal ribs, and the second stands out with a bumper with side air intakes, a large black glossy mesh in the grilles, a small spoiler on the trunk lid, a diffuser in the rear bumper and four round exhaust pipes.
Compared to its predecessor, the 2018-2019 Toyota Camry in a new body received a different lighting technique, a more squat silhouette, muscular fenders, heavily littered rear pillars, smoothly turning into a trunk lid and rear-view mirrors on legs.
In the cabin of the Toyota Camry V70, the asymmetric center console with an 8.0-inch screen of the Entune 3.0 multimedia system is immediately striking. The company promised high-quality interior decoration using soft plastics and expensive materials.
In front of the driver, there is a new steering wheel and instrument panel with a large 7.0-inch display, and for a surcharge, a ten-inch head-up display on the windshield is available for the model. The front seats are now 25mm lower than before, and the rear seats are 30mm lower.
Specifications Toyota Camry V70 2018-2019.
The new Toyota Camry V70 is based on the TNGA global modular platform. Its use made it possible to lower the center of gravity (ground clearance is reduced from 155 to 145 mm), increase body rigidity, and also replace the McPherson rear struts with a double wishbone suspension. According to company representatives, this car was created from scratch.
Three engines are offered as power units for the sedan in the States. The base is a completely new 2.5-liter "four" A25A-FKS with a capacity of 206 hp. (249 Nm) with a combined fuel injection system (into the intake manifold and directly into the cylinders). It is paired with an 8-band Direct Shift automatic, and on the XSE version, this engine produces 209 forces and 252 Nm of torque.
The average consumption, compared with the previous 180-horsepower engine of the same size, was reduced from 8.7 to 7.4 l/100 km. Not least due to the ability of the unit to switch to the economical Atkinson cycle at light loads.
At the top of the range is the upgraded 3.5-liter "six" 2GR-FKS with D-4S fuel injection system. Such an engine produces 305 hp. and 362 Nm of thrust (it used to be 272 hp and 336 Nm), while the consumption has decreased to 9.0 liters per hundred against 9.8 before, and it also works in tandem with 8 automatic transmissions.
And there is also a hybrid modification of THS II, which included the above-mentioned 2.5-liter engine with 178 hp, a 120-horsepower (202 Nm) electric motor, a nickel-metal hydride battery with a capacity of 1.6 kWh (moved from the trunk under rear sofa) and a new generation electromechanical variator, which in Sport mode can simulate the operation of a six-speed automatic. The total output of such an installation is 211 hp, while the hybrid of the previous generation had 203 “horses”.
Overall length Toyota Camry 2018-2019 is 4,859 mm (+ 9), the wheelbase has increased to 2,824 (+ 49), the width is 1,839 (+ 19), and the height has been reduced to 1,440 (- 30). The trunk volume of the sedan is 428 liters (- 8 liters). True, on cars for the Russian market, the base engines will remain the same - we are talking about 2.0 6AR-FSE (150 hp) and 2.5 2AR-FE (181 hp) engines, both will retain a 6-band automatic . But the older unit will still be new, but for sure it will be derated from 305 to 249 forces.
Options and prices.
Sales of the new Toyota Camry V70 in the US began in the third quarter of 2017 with prices ranging from $23,495 to $34,950. Already in the base of the car are ten airbags, a stabilization system, LED head optics, 16-inch wheels, a rear view camera and a set of Toyota Safety Sense-P security systems.
The latter includes adaptive cruise control, marking and blind spot monitoring functions, an automatic braking system with pedestrian recognition and automatic high beam switching to low beam.
The start of sales of the new Camry in Russia is scheduled for April 2018, there is no information about prices yet, although according to preliminary information, it can be from 1.5 million rubles. In total, 10 fixed configurations will be offered for the model: three for cars with a base 2.0 engine, five for versions with a 2.5-liter engine, and two more for the top-end V6 modification.
New Toyota Camry 2018 decided to make it common to all markets. If earlier in the USA they released their own version, in Japan their own, and in Europe the third version of the sedan, now the manufacturer has decided to combine all modifications of the model under the general index V70. Recall that now in Russia they produce Toyota Camry in the back of the V50.
Until the end of 2017, the launch of production of Camry in a new body is scheduled in Japan, Thailand and China. In the US Camry V70 began to produce in the summer. Most likely, the novelty will reach Russia in 2018, and maybe in 2019. At the heart of the car is a completely new modular platform TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture), or rather its mid-size version GA-K. A large amount of use of high-strength steel made it possible to increase the rigidity of the body, while reducing its weight. The model received a completely new rear multi-link suspension.
As for the exterior of Camry 2018, in each market, of course, models will have small features in optics, the shape of bumpers, but in principle, the design has become global for all countries. Let's say right away that the model will be produced with two types of front end - regular and “charged” versions of the exterior. You can see the difference in our photos below.

Salon Camry new generation experienced a revolutionary change. The designers decided to create a completely original interior from scratch, which was not even dreamed of by competitors. The center console is generally a unique layout element of the cabin. The combination of light plastic, wood and polished aluminum with asymmetric shapes allows you to look at the functionality of the model from a different perspective. It is useless to describe it, you need to look at the photos. As for brand new chairs, they have received a very comfortable shape and are extremely comfortable. By the way, because of this, the internal volume of the cabin has slightly decreased, although the wheelbase has increased.

Despite the increase in dimensions, the volume of the luggage compartment of the sedan has decreased, though by only 10 liters. The rear seats naturally fold to carry long items. A photo of the luggage compartment of the new Camry is attached.

When creating a new generation of sedan, the engineers decided to make the car more sporty and did serious work on the suspension, chassis and steering. The new power structure of the body made it possible to lower the center of gravity of the car, even the seats in the cabin were installed lower. As a result, road clearance was damaged. So on American cars, the clearance decreased from 155 to 145 mm, which will happen to the Russian version is not yet clear.
The popular 2.5-liter gasoline engine of the 2AR-FE series was retired, instead, the Camry will be equipped with the latest 4-cylinder 16-valve A25A-FKS of the same volume. The new motor received electric phase shifters on both camshafts, the compression ratio in the cylinders was increased to 13: 1, combined injection appeared (into the intake manifold and into the cylinders), in addition, the engine control system can rebuild its operation on the Atkinson economy cycle. As a result, the average fuel consumption was reduced, and the aspirated power was raised to 209 hp. at 252 Nm of torque.
The top 6-cylinder naturally aspirated has also undergone a major upgrade. Now the 3.5-liter V6 has received the 2GR-FKS index and develops 305 hp. at 362 Nm. As a result of increasing the compression ratio, the use of new phase shifters with an increased angle of deviation of the gas distribution phases, it was possible to reduce the average fuel consumption.
Naturally, a hybrid modification of the sedan with a deformed 2.5-liter engine and a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 1.04 kW / h will also appear. Most likely, the hybrid will not reach our country soon.
As for the transmission, as before, the Camry has a front-wheel drive with a transverse powertrain. Instead of a 6-band hydromechanical automatic transmission, the latest 8-speed automatic transmission will now be installed.

Noise isolation Toyota Camry v70 2018/2019. Barely having time to appear on TV screens in advertising, the new Camry won the hearts of a huge number of motorists and owners of previous Camry bodies. And, of course, the car immediately at the beginning of the start of sales falls into our hands as the largest special center in Russia for soundproofing cars. We work with your cars only according to the top-end option using the most expensive line of Comfort mat noise insulation; for 12 years we have not had and will not have offers such as economy or standard. We assure you that if you are going to soundproof your beloved horse (and you do this primarily FOR YOURSELF), then you should do it with the maximum approach, for example, like ours.
Even 1 hour before the arrival of the car by appointment, we cut all the soundproofing material according to our own patterns and place it in our stoves to languish at a temperature of 45-55 degrees. This will not only help us to do our work with the highest quality and efficiency, but will also save time and effort on heating each sheet, which we will gladly use for high-quality rolling of the material. The whole work will take approximately 9-11 hours, during which the owner can stay with us in comfortable sofas right in front of the car and make sure of the quality of our work at any stage of it. We have already handled a huge number of new Camry, which is already being brought to us directly from the dealer and even without numbers. We are immensely grateful to our clients for such respect and are ready to repay everyone with quality and conscientious work.
Soundproofing the hood Camry v70 performed according to the classical scheme: vibration damping of the metal of the hood with a light Comfort mat Dark D3, as well as processing of a regular heat insulator with PPE or PPU material 3 mm thick.
Soundproofing ceiling Camry v70 begins with the careful dismantling of the ceiling sheathing. In the process of this work, the masters work in a clean set of gloves and do not leave a single scratch or speck on the ceiling.
After removing the ceiling sheathing, the roof looks exactly like this. There is no factory vibration isolation at all. Well, at least there are a lot of stiffening ribs!
We start processing the ceiling with the Comfort mat Dark D3 Premium vibration damper, which is distinguished by its additional lightness compared to basic materials.
The role of the sound absorber under the ceiling lining is performed by high-density Felton 10 mm felt, which is an excellent trap for walking air sound waves under the lining.
Soundproofing doors Camry v70 as usual, it begins with the careful dismantling of the door skins. We do this without a single scratch or snag on the skins.
After gaining access to the inside of the door, degrease all the giblets.
First layer. We dampen the outer sheet of metal with a light Comfort mat Dark D3 Premium.
The second layer: we apply the lightest membrane sound insulation specifically for Comfort mat Integra 6 doors, which not only absorbs sound amazingly, but is also 100% resistant to moisture.
Third layer. Damping of the door frame is still the same Comfort mat dark D3 Premium.
Fourth layer. The thick relief sound absorber Comfort mat Soft Wave 15 in the form of pyramids will finally delay the sound passing into the cabin from the outside. We put it on the door trim itself.
It's always "hot" in boxing and there is something to see. Our customers can approach the machine at any time and be convinced of the proper quality of workmanship at any moment.
Soundproofing floor, trunk and wheel arches Camry V70 this is the final, most difficult and most important part of the work, the result of which will make the greatest contribution to the overall effect. To ensure work, we take out of the cabin everything that can interfere: seats, console, floors, trim.
We also completely strip the trunk and take out all the spare parts.
All vibration isolation we have already pre-cut before the arrival of the car by appointment and heated in special custom stoves to 50-55 degrees. Therefore, it takes us about an hour and a half to roll the material to the floor in the cabin and in the trunk. On the floor and wheel arches, we have the most powerful and evil vibration damper Comfort mat Ultra Loker 4.2, which will remove low-frequency structural metal noise. Alas, this is beyond the power of any light and thin materials. Therefore, we use a frame and rigid vibration damper on the floor, arches and the bottom of the trunk.
Comfort mat Ultra Loker 4.2 carries the Auto-Loker logo on board and is manufactured individually on a separate conveyor only for our special center as the flagship Comfort mat throughout Russia. The material has a thickness of 4.2 mm, two layers of foil (!!!) and unprecedented efficiency with proper rolling. This is our pride and our flagship. Must be served hot.
In the trunk, the flagship Ultra Loker 4.2 is placed on the arches and the bottom of the spare wheel (very thin metal), and the rest of the details (floor and fenders) are treated with a light Comfort mat Dark D3.
Having finished damping, we turn to the sound absorption of the cabin. On the floor in the cabin we place the second layer - soundproof foam rubber Comfort mat Vision Red 6, and under the rear seat a two-layer sound insulator Comfort mat Blockshot 7.
Then we add a third layer to the floor - a soundproof membrane Blocker. Thus, the entire bottom in the cabin is covered not only with a sound insulator, but also with a sound membrane (black and blue) over the entire area, which guarantees compliance with the highest standards of modern car sound insulation. We return the standard felt sound insulation to the floor. Thus, the floor in our Camry contains 4 layers of sound insulation of all kinds. It's amazing.
We also process the trunk everywhere with a 7 mm Block Shot. Thus, the trunk is under the reliable protection of the sound membrane.
The trunk lid is treated with a vibration damper, and its lining with a sound absorber and anti-creak.
Noise insulation of the instrument panel and engine shield Camry This is an additional service and is not included in the cost of the salon. It was on this car that the client just paid extra for this service. The procedure is as follows: remove the panel, process with a noise absorber both the panel itself and all the components + elements of the under-torpedo space and engine shield. The result of the work is the complete elimination of squeaks (if any), as well as a reduction in engine noise.
Additional service: noise insulation of Camry v70 wheel arches from the outside allows you to additionally influence the wheel arches in order to make them even quieter. This service is accompanied by the removal of wheels and regular wheel arch liners. The service is not included in the cost of soundproofing the cabin and is paid separately.
We process the previously degreased metal of the arch with the most powerful vibration isolation Comfort mat Ultra Loket 4.2 mm. (hot 55 degrees) with two layers of foil and roll hot mats with maximum diligence to the body. After cooling - the material is like concrete.
Then we prepare a special polymer composition and spray it with a professional gun.
This composition is 100% polymer, and is used in any automotive factory to seal welds on any foreign car. Here we are pursuing the goal of not only improving sound insulation, but also complete waterproofing of the arch, so that our work is forever protected from dirt and moisture.
Once the sprayed joint sealant is completely dry, it turns into rubber with incredible adhesion. Even a shred of material cannot be pulled out. Everything is so tightly bound by polymer. Before installation, the regular fender liner itself is treated with thin and elastic Comfort mat Fusion foam rubber, which is 100% resistant to moisture. Install the fender back in place. In this embodiment, the arch is still guaranteed to be ventilated and there will never be even a hint of moisture or condensation. We give a guarantee for this.
Just like that, stretching out the legs, you can watch the progress of work on your favorite car.
After assembling the interior, we wipe the interior, and also carry out a final check of the assembly quality, as well as the performance of all components, mechanisms and electrics. After that, we suggest that the owner of the car do the verification. After work, we give a guarantee that there will be no crickets and squeaks in the cabin, and most importantly, that there will be no signs of parsing in the cabin, such as scratches, hooks or broken caps. For all this, each of our customers receives a company-wide one-year warranty.
performed in the presence of the owner of the vehicle. Our work took about 9-11 hours, during which we put about 56 kilograms of the most top-end and evil soundproofing into the car at the time of publication of the photo report. The car turned out to be tightly packed on all sides with the latest in modern soundproofing, which allows us to guarantee a significant increase in acoustic comfort in the Camry's cabin, as well as a reduction in hum and noise from the wheel arches. Passengers and the driver of a car treated according to this scheme will feel like they are in a car of a higher class. This is our favorite work and we have been doing it for over 12 years, allowing car owners to look at their cars in a new way!
We also have rich experience in soundproofing Toyota Camry V55. You can see a photo report on the maximum sound insulation of the Camry V55 at the link above.

In the cabin of the new Toyota Camry V70, an asymmetrical center console slightly turned towards the driver with an 8.0-inch screen of the Entune 3.0 multimedia system catches the eye. The company promised high-quality interior decoration using soft plastics and expensive materials.
The driver has a new steering wheel and instrument panel with a large 7.0-inch display, and for a surcharge, a ten-inch head-up display on the windshield is available for the model. The front seats are now 25mm lower than before, and the rear seats are 30mm lower.
Specifications
The Toyota Camry 70 is based on the TNGA global modular platform. Its use made it possible to lower the center of gravity (ground clearance is reduced from 155 to 145 mm), increase body rigidity, and also replace the McPherson rear struts with a double wishbone suspension. According to company representatives, this car was created from scratch.
Three engines are offered as power units for the sedan in the States. The base is a completely new 2.5-liter "four" A25A-FKS with a capacity of 206 hp. (249 Nm) with a combined fuel injection system (into the intake manifold and directly into the cylinders). It is paired with an 8-band Direct Shift automatic, and on the XSE version, this engine produces 209 forces and 252 Nm of torque.
The average consumption, compared with the previous 180-horsepower engine of the same size, was reduced from 8.7 to 7.4 l/100 km. Not least due to the ability of the unit to switch to the economical Atkinson cycle at light loads.
At the top of the range is the upgraded 3.5-liter "six" 2GR-FKS with D-4S fuel injection system. Such an engine produces 305 hp. and 362 Nm of thrust (it used to be 272 hp and 336 Nm), while the consumption has decreased to 9.0 liters per hundred against 9.8 before, and it also works in conjunction with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
And there is also a hybrid modification of THS II, which included the above-mentioned 2.5-liter engine with 178 hp, a 120-horsepower (202 Nm) electric motor, a nickel-metal hydride battery with a capacity of 1.6 kWh (moved from the trunk under rear sofa).
This also includes a new generation electromechanical variator, which in the "Sport" mode can simulate the operation of a six-speed automatic. The total output of such an installation is 211 hp, then there were 203 “horses” on the hybrid of the previous generation.
The overall length of the new Toyota Camry 2018 is 4,859 mm (+ 9), the wheelbase has increased to 2,824 (+ 49), the width is 1,839 (+ 19), the height has been reduced to 1,440 (- 30), the trunk volume is 428 liters (- 8 l).
True, on machines for the Russian market, the basic engines remained the same - we are talking about 2.0 6AR-FSE (150 hp) and 2.5 2AR-FE (181 hp) engines, both retained a 6-band automatic . But the older unit is still new, although it was deformed from 305 to 249 forces.
