The Australian Camry range opens with a 2.5 litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 132kW and 230Nm of torque. The new engine replaces the current 117kW 2.4 litre unit.
The petrol engine will be offered with an entirely new six-speed automatic transmission, which will includ a sequential shift mode. The Atara model also gets a set of steering wheel mounted paddle shifters.
Fuel consumption for the US model is estimated to be 8.4 l/100km on the combined cycle, although official EPA figures are still to be released and Australian numbers have not been confirmed.
In the US, an updated version of Toyota's Aurion-powering 3.5 litre V6 will power the top-shelf Camry variants, but Toyota Australia will continue to keep the local Camry a four-cylinder only vehicle. The new Aurion will arrive in the second quarter of next year and will use the updated six-cylinder engine
The new Camry's body structure has been developed with increased rigidity, and there is also a new front and rear suspension design. No exterior sheetmetal is shared with the current-generation Camry, and around 90 percent of the 2012 Camry's components are new.
For Toyota, the new Camry is also the first model to feature the company's new Electric Power Steering control system.
There are additional sound-absorbing devices in areas where noticeable sounds can enter the cabin, developed witha focus on suppressing noises that are near the frequencies of human speech, creating an environment more suited to quiet conversation.
