Petrol V6 missing for facelifted mid-size sedan, leaving more powerful four-pot with new gearbox
When the updated 2021 Toyota Camry lands soon, it’ll come with a more powerful four-cylinder engine but at the expense of a V6 option, which appears to have been axed.
Official homologation documents seen by carsales reveal a new 2.5-litre four-cylinder that will bring more power – 152kW – in non-hybrid models and combine with a new eight-speed automatic transmission (up from a six-speed unit).
This is an increase of 19kW over the current entry-level Ascent, and 17kW compared to other models in the range, and sees maximum power achieved at 6600rpm – 600rpm higher in the rev range.
