Toyota Camry 2018 Eighth Generation Family Sedan Update: Toyota’s eighth-generation Camry has been touted as having aggressive character lines and a low center of gravity.
It’s wider, rides lower, and has crazy looking boomerang-like rear lights. The bestselling sedan by Toyota finally pulled into the spotlight at the 2017 Detroit auto show.
For 2018, the Toyota Camry 2018 Eighth Generation Family Sedan is available in four variants: LE, XLE, SE, and XSE. It is offered with a choice of a 2.5-liter four-cylinder, a 3.5-liter V-6 engine, or a hybrid version with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).
Old school gas versions get an all-new 8-speed automatic transmission and platform to boot.
Bob Carter, Toyota senior veep, gushes in a statement:
“The all-new 2018 Camry is, without a doubt, the most captivating mid-size sedan we’ve ever produced.”
“It delivers on everything Camry owners have come to expect from America’s best-selling car, and adds to it, jaw-dropping design, more advanced technology, cutting-edge safety systems, and stirring performance that raises it to an unparalleled level of excitement.”
Masato Katsumata, Camry chief engineer said:
“In order to create something that stirs people’s soul, we’ve laid out the concept of a new sedan that provides fun and excitement behind the wheel.”
“In developing the next-generation Toyota Camry, we were able to start with a clean slate, which allowed us to create a true driver’s car.”
Toyota says the wheelbase of Toyota Camry 2018 Eighth Generation Family Sedan was extended by two inches over the previous generation and the roof was lowered by an inch. The new hood was also dropped by 1.5 inches.
Ten airbags are standard on all Camrys and Toyota’s Star Safety System includes enhanced vehicle stability control, traction control, brake assist, ABS, and a backup camera.
Toyota announced that the latest Toyota Camry 2018 Eighth Generation Family Sedan should make its way into dealerships by the late summer 2017.

Engine
One thing Toyota decided not to do was downsize the gasoline four-cylinder engine in the hybrid. It uses essentially the same version of the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine as in other versions of the Camry, albeit tuned differently.
It’s a large four-cylinder engine, but one that achieves thermal efficiency that can exceed 40 percent, Toyota said.
