The Toyota Camry (XV50) is a mid-size car that has been produced by Toyota since August 2011. Replacing the XV40 series, the XV50 represents the seventh generation of the Toyota Camry in all markets outside Japan, which follows a different generational lineage.
The new Camry was introduced on 23 August 2011 and made its debut in the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series on 27 August 2011. It was released in Japan on 5 September 2011 and in the U.S. later that same month. The interior received a major restyling, while the exterior received all-new sheet metal and more angular styling. Power options are the 2.5-liter 2AR-FE 4-cylinder and the 3.5-liter 2GR-FE V6. The power output for the 2AR-FE was increased to 133 kW (178 hp) across the entire product line while the power output for the V6 remained unchanged. EPA fuel economy numbers for both engines increased, with the V6 engine increased to 11 L/100 km; 25 mpg‑imp (21 mpg‑US) city cycle, 8 L/100 km; 36 mpg‑imp (30 mpg‑US) highway cycle and the 4-cylinder having 9 L/100 km; 30 mpg‑imp (25 mpg‑US) city cycle and 7 L/100 km; 42 mpg‑imp (35 mpg‑US) highway cycle. The engine produces 230 N·m (170 lbf·ft) of torque. Despite similar exterior dimensions with the XV40 Camry, Toyota was able to increase the interior volume by restyling the interior panels so that they followed the contour of the exterior panels.
The XV50 Camry is the first Camry to be offered in the U.S. without a manual transmission. The U.S. Camry has a 6-speed automatic transmission, with SE models featuring paddle shifters for manual shifts. CVT is still offered on hybrid models. In Japan, the new Camry is exclusive to Toyota Corolla Store locations.
The 2013 model year Camry was released in Japan on 3 September 2012, but was delayed in the U.S. until late January 2013 due to power shortages in Japan caused by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. For the first time, the Japanese market Camry did not use the "regular" Camry design used for US and Australian models. Instead, it adopts the "prestige" Camry or Aurion design that Southeast Asia and China have received.
