However, it remains Rs 6 lakh more affordable than its primary competitor in India, the Rs 54 lakh Skoda Superb. In terms of pricing, the new Camry can also be considered an alternative to luxury sedans like the Audi A4 (Rs 46.02 lakh), Mercedes C-Class (Rs 59.40 lakh), and BMW 3 Series Gran Limousine (Rs 60.60 lakh). Ninth-generation Toyota Camry is constructed using the TNGA-K platform. Its front design features Toyota’s “hammerhead” styling, with a sharp nose, sleek LED headlamps, and daytime running lights. The narrow grille nearly connects the headlights, while the ‘T’ logo is positioned higher than before. The bumpers have an almost Lexus-like anvil shape. Additional design highlights include a bold new character line along the side, redesigned 18-inch alloy wheels, and updated C-shaped LED tail lamps.
The ninth-generation Toyota Camry is available in the following exterior color options: precious metal, dark blue, cement grey, emotional red, attitude black, and platinum white pearl.

It also comes with a nine-speaker JBL sound system, a 10-inch head-up display, and digital key functionality.
The rear seats of the new Camry feature a reclining function, controlled via a rear center console. For enhanced comfort, Toyota offers 10-way powered ventilated front seats, three-zone automatic climate control, and a sunroof with a retractable sunshade.

This includes features such as pre-collision assist with pedestrian detection, radar-based cruise control, lane-tracing assist, road-sign assist, and automatic high beams for improved night visibility. Additional features include nine airbags, front and rear parking sensors, and a 360-degree camera.
The new Toyota Camry is equipped with a 2.5-liter petrol engine paired with Toyota’s fifth-generation Hybrid System (THS 5). This updated powertrain delivers a total output of 230 hp, which is 12 hp more than the previous model. Fuel efficiency has also improved, now rated at 25.49 kpl by ARAI.
