The only problem with this underrated sedan is that, the moment you know you can afford Camry you start looking for Audi, BMW or Mercedes..
But Mercedes a class limousine is the same price with a cramp back seat for 3. Lacks under thigh support. Misses reclining and sofa like seats. And no ventilated seats at the front. Also so much road noise at high speed. No insulation like Camry. The only thing that's better is the mbux infotainment system.
@@Oatmeal4Breakfast Like I mentioned already, Indians go for brands when they are ready to shell anything more than 40 lakhs. Camry is a class in itself, not everyone can afford.
But camry is reliable
Well it makes sense. Think about it. When you're paying this much why not get a car with a badge that most people dream of getting instead of getting a car that more than half of population uses for taxis. Think about it. "I own a toyota" "I own a BMW" Which sounds like you are rich!!
@@user-lb4rx2th2d how about I own a Camry. Lol.
Having owned Toyota Corolla I can tell that after sales service, product engineering, reliability and ownership experience is excellent.
Can you please share the estimate of service cost ? '
Thanking you in advance
@@ubtforever Around 9-12k a year for the Camry
The problem with this car is the price. In USA , it starts at 28000 dollars which is about 21 Lakh rupees, here it starts at 42 due to import duties. Hence it really lacks the premiumness of the other German Sedans within the same price range.
I own a Camry Hybrid and it is so much better than BMW, Audi, Merc. The best part is you can actually drive it everyday - without breaking down. The only thing that beats Camry is Lexus LS300 which is luxury version of Camry.
Edit - to those saying Camry is used as Taxi in Dubai, Mercedes E/C class are used as Taxi all over Europe. Also, all Mercs / Audi / BMWs cost 2x and in some cases, 3x of what they cost in Europe - same as Camry.
*ES 300, LS 500 is a completely different league with S classes and 7 series
Driving Camry for a year I can tell its one of the best Sedan ever specially when it comes to handling, reliability it always makes you drive more.
It quite a uncomfortable, slow car, compared against a mercedes benz…
@@erebostd Thats why a merc C class is 60+ lakh and this is around 47 L on road
@@erebostd Have you driven the car?
“SMOOOOOOOOTH OPERATORRRRR” - Carlos Sainz😅
Toyota sets the industry standards for reliability and quality, so you can never go wrong with a Toyota
One suggestion: Kindly mention road and location of the shooting of your every car test drives please 🙏
But why?
@@regoryan82 so that he can go there and disturb the shooting
@@onesujeet 😂😂😂
Navigation showed Uran Road
Normally they do it on Palm Beach road (where there are trees in the background in the middle of the road)
Toyota is reliable and can easily run for 5 lac km with minimum maintance and nothing breaks like the germans
Absolutely True 👍
But so many users have reported problems with hybrid toyotas😅
German Engineering vale kaha gae 🤣
@@Dashamuulam I own Hybrid Camry. I've done 1.1L KM, no issues.
Toyota is very reliable, super smooth vehicle. Hybrid part of the package makes sense compared to Merc or a BMW. Comparing hybrid with non hybrid is not a fair comparison. Long term usage of this car pays off in terms of savings on fuel and maintenance. It is worth the money one pays for. Indians are more badge conscious than westerners.
Finally, thanks for reviewing this car Autocar India. I have been waiting forever. Love this car.
This car is true luxury. So much spacious from inside. Being in Camry is better experience than Audi A4, BMW 3 series, Mercedes A-class. Every car in this segment feels overpriced. A-class is super overpriced, once you are inside and compare with the Camry cabin you'd realise. Audi A4 drives really well, cruises super easy but the cabin is not as good as Camry. Camry is a much better package than all these cars. Period.
Skoda Superb is more vfm than Camry. Except the mileage.
Brand matters in India. Arriving at a place on an Audi and Toyota has a whole lot of difference in the mind of people, unfortunately.
@@sathyaki I would respect people who are driven in Toyota more than the German counterparts. I term them sensible buyers.
@sakhti Superb is absolutely an amazing car, no doubt. But Skoda cars, as they get old, they burn your money. Not as reliable, not as easily maintained as a Toyota.
@@mrsharadchandra Unfortunately you are not the majority people.
Wow... that's true luxury in...A CAMRY!! This is littetally just above basic transportation in thy US. No reclining rear seats(!!) in the US. This is crazy to see.
What more do you expect in a taxi
It costs as much as a shoe in the US
@@rohithk4659 But this variant isn't a taxi.
@@rasimkazi7086 It soon will be
@@rohithk4659 Not in india.
finally some good looking alloys on a car!
Most underrated luxury Sedan in India.
Yeah..underrated because they sell it for twice the price which this car deserves.
underrated & overpriced*
@@Dashamuulam so you want Camry at 20lakh so verna should sell at 5lakh. Come on dude..!
Paying 7 lakhs extra for camry is surely not a problem because once you pay for the car all you do is service refuel and drive. But german? No they are maintenance high and running fuel cost high aswell.
Toyota's hybrid is really one of the best... This year's WRC is definitely an accolade for it
Greatest job done by Toyota 💙 No words to explain about this car.
A food detailed review. And also the videography was good. The car got more screen time than the host.
Toyota should’ve released the Avalon in India instead of the Camry especially considering that this is a car to be chauffeur driver and the premium class which globally is the Toyota Avalon and the Camry which is globally a taxi
Not sure where you get your info from but Avalon is only sold in North America and maybe middle east and is RHD only. Whereas Camry is global
@@cbaba861 oh I didn't know about that. What I've meant is that the actual premium sedan by Toyota is the Avalon
I always wondered when Prius hit the markets it seemed like a logical step forward before we went complete EV, as to why no other manufacturers offered hybrids. It makes sense until we weane off IC gradually. Sadly this car won't sell as much as it should particularly in India where the price point is above many Eurepean offerings. But those who do spend on this will surely like it. I ha e owned an IC Camry and loved every bit of it in the last decade.
Coz similar taxes on hybrids like on ICE😔
My friend has a Camry that has clocked 5 lakh plus in GCC and it still runs. 😀😀😀
Your frnd is a taxi driver/owner?
It is the taxi car of Dubai. Biggest selling sedan in the US. World's most reliable car, but hardly the type in which you are driven around by a chauffeur. The car market in India has a really long way to go.
Cool car and cool presentation as well
Congratulations
Seeing petrol prices and the situation of electric charging stations, It makes sense to consumers to go for hybrids. But as you all know India is a price-sensitive market. It needs cheaper hybrids to stand in this price-sensitive market.
It's the government...they want to switch completely to EVs so taxes still high on hybrids..how can they expect people to blindly do that with their money and no ev infrastructure??
@@vedantkothari215 Yes, hybrids are expensive due to taxes but cheaper hybrids are coming brother. Few days ago Honda launched City e-HEV(hybrid) and the on-road price(in Thane) is 23L. I know 23L is definitely not cheap but it's wayyyyyyy less expensive than the Toyota Camry hybrid(51.45L on-road in Thane). Majority of the consumers not gonna buy EVs without proper charging infrastructure. Government want to switch completely to EVs, I agree. But for that, first they need to build charging infrastructure. Infrastructure like the one we have for fuels right now(petrol/diesel). I hope you will understand what I am saying.
@@akhildesai2706 Its around 49 On road Pune get it from here lol
@@Spacenigga69 nice it’s lil cheap over there
How effective is a multi zone climate control?
hey AutoCar, can you tell which road it was you were driving the Camry. I also want to buy one n drive on that road too.
a little insight into how the hybrid tech works would have been welcome :)
Ironic how the same car costs 55% lower in Middle East and other markets around the world. Price tags in Indian market for cars are astonishing:(
This is most likely imported as CKDs for the Indian market. Not manufactured in India.
I wonder why our auto journalists don't promote this above similarly priced German cars
with addition of hybrid tech Camry outweighs every one of them being cleaner in emission and efficient
Its not as fun to drive
It feels like a car from 2004 and spending almost 60lakhs for a car we expect some futuristic features,drivability,RWD,or a good engine&gearbox combo..no one's gonna spend 60 lakhs for a car which gives more mileage than other rivals..if they can afford a car for half crore, they dont bother about fuel efficiency.🙂
@@Dashamuulam You're right but if I had to buy a nice car to keep it for a solid 10 years and then still use it as a beater or hand it down , id go with the Camry because it's the nicest reliable sedan in our market barring the Lexus
Like to see how Honda city Hybrid performs when compared to Toyota Camry although the price difference would be 30 lacs.
The only thing we can compare about these two is the mileage , nothing else can be compared 😅
price difference would be around 25 lacs.
@@khushpreetsinghgrover72 milleage and reliability
@@Oatmeal4Breakfast I don't think anyone beats a toyota in terms of reliability. Toyota defined reliability. Honda is good at it too but city does not come even close to camry, city though can be compared to corolla in that regard. But camry no man just no, camry is the most reliable sedan on the planet. Camry is world renowned for its reliability.
Honda city will eat into the camry market...who'll pay twice the price now
I have Toyota camery in Australia this car is amazing reliable. I haven’t spent extras cent on it since 6 years.
lae v second hand honi?
It's ground clearance is low and will it causes any impact to the car I.e damage to engine etc.,
Finally hybrid cars are coming to india…
Hi can you guys please make a Camry VS Superb comparison video?
Wheels looks great
Fantastic vehicle 👌. Can we raise its ground clearance by using bigger tyres . Body touches even the normal speed breakers !
@Autocar which road is this ?
Make a comparison in between city ehev and the camry... as there is no honda accord on sale .
i will go for the city hybrid
happy life 🙂🙂
Before the Camry was discontinued in Europe the second time. The Camry was as good as a Passat or a Mondeo. Never got this luxury spec
So, the person in the back can move the front seat with buttons? Its confirmed. Toyaota Camry : Dont bring your kids.
ha ha, my kids do this all the time in my camry!
@@GADGETMIX I would do this at the age of 50 also hahaha
Superb review!
18 inch wheel is so amazing
A great car but toyota needs to trim off those chunky bezels on the infotainment screen its making it look old even though it isnt
Only if the GOI could substantially incentivise the buyers of such unconventional cars, even if they cant reduce import duty on CKD units.
Do this offer ambient lighting...
Someone's a Carlos Sainz fan
Its a pure toyoto sedan in india but most of the buyers going back with sedan ground clearance toyoto should improve ground clearance like vw and skoda doing with their sedans ground clearance 178mm toyoto also improve some more mm for indian roads
How much does it costs in India?
All time handsome offering from toyota in India got better! But say what you may, 50L for a camry is still not justified, when other german badges start to creep in this zone, and yeah most ppl will go with a little less reliable but a luxurious badge. If 50L in on the cards for them, they'd have factored that in.
Is this the one with new dynamic force engine?
Yesh
@@sidprad at least could have mentioned in video considering it was a major news in automotive world.
It doesn’t matter to the general public!! All they want to know is how it performs and how much mileage it gives!!
Just beautiful ! 🥳
Is it a smooth operator like Carlos Sainz Jr?
Where is the location of this road?
Why there is no panaromic sunroof for Indian Model??
Only one issue. I hear they cut corners in the sound system and the infotainment is also a bit out dated.
It's generally outskirts of Mumbai or Pune...hence...Mumbai Pune Express Highway or Mumbai Goa National Highway...
Seltos diesel imt review pls
I’m using Camry, it’s super comfortable and has very low running costs.
You sold the car to the target customers under 100 seconds, but the problem is that volume is not good enough. You (Toyota) gotta rebadge new ertiga. All versions.
Toyota should also launch non hybrid and proper electric version of camery.
Make a review on the toyota hilux
8:02, what about the Honda Accord?
Discontinued
Super review
Toyota Camry is the best car in the world!
The number of times he said "now"
will gr corolla come to india 🥺🥺
But still no wireless carplay even at a 50L price tag on road??
Honda city hybrid will be more efficient then this car , i show review of mileage which giving around 24 km , even if it gives 20 then also cheap compared to this car
Who's gonna spend 60 lakhs for fuel efficiency and low running cost
pricing is not mentioned
the TOYOTA Camry VX i-HYBRId® 2.4 VVTi I5 4-Dr Executive Sedan (RHD) could do with a factory fitted front & rear lateral strut bars for enhanced structural rigidity & improved stiffening . . . and then you can expect the TOYOTA Camry VX i-HYBRId® 2.4 VVTi I5 4-Dr Executive Sedan (RHD) to be sporty & dynamic as the ŠKODA Superb L&K® 2.0 TDI I4 4-Dr Executive Sedan (RHD) . . . probably, even better the latter . . . the cabin interior of the TOYOTA Camry VX i-HYBRId® 2.4 VVTi I5 4-Dr Executive Sedan (RHD) could have been way better . . . looking forward to TOYOTA introducing the next 10th generation TOYOTA Corolla VX i-HYBRId® 1.8 VTi I4 4-Dr Executive Sedan (RHD) in the Indian market . .
Waiting for corolla hybrid
I see what you did there in the caption .
Comfortable, reliable, fuel efficient
kitna deti hai?
Carlos Sainz is the only smooth operator 😂😉
SMOOOOTH OPERATORRRRRR
SMOOOOTH OPERATIONNNN
~Carlos Sainz jr.
The only thing is will it sold again as its other Toyota siblings? At 75% value.
Is the title a reference to Carlos Sainz?😉
Obviously
What do you mean carlos sainz is at third in row for miami gp
@@varuntomer1725 he means Carlos sainz has a famous dialogue/meme where he says smooth operator so..
Bahut acchi car he ❤
Test drove the car the other day, here are some few points
Car has some luxury
Music system from JBL is good but clarity is a bit less
Has a fwd system while priced much as the bmw 330i, should have been a rwd.
The 2.5 ltr hybrid petrol is quite smooth to drive and gives quite a push when needed, surprisingly you never miss the turbocharging in it which the competition offers.
In my opinion the price should be around 39-40 lakhs instead of 43.
Not more than 35 bro
32-38 will be apt for such a car
@@shekharthedr it should be a competitor to the skoda superb but toyota busy playing with indian minds.
@@siddhantrs4545 was priced 38 lakh rupees went to see if there is an cbu unit left but there was none so the revised price for 2022 is 43+ lakhs.
Agree on the price. If only it was 10% lesser, would have made much much more sense.
This video really really really really really really really really really really really really good. So many really really really 😛
Really! 😂
Toyota last sedan camy 💎
Bhai dhang se likh toh le
SMOOOOOOTH OPERATOOOORRRRRRR 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶
I think this comparison of sofa seats in the back is not a valid comparison, Toyota and every other manufacturer should focus on building small cars with hybrid engines and good mileage.
Most people dont factor in the cost of Owning, 'Running' and 'Maintaining' a vehicle.
With ADAS?
No
What's the mileage?????
Real world between 13 to 16 depending on ur driving style
Price pls
50 Lksh
Love your videos it’s like they are foreign videos not Indian
In India Camry is luxury in other countries it’s taxi
Toyota carry to me more appealing to me this time..
Toyota camry is wonderfull
Seriously, a common man car in USA is a luxury car in India?? just adding some chrome and keeping the price like nuts doesn't make it a luxury car, Toyota. Toyota is even taking Indian car market for granted. They are only overpricing those cheap and old craps like crysta and fortuner. If you think I'm blabbering, once go and check USA and Dubai markets. They have PHENOMENAL cars like Land Cruiser, RAV4, Mirai, Supra, Highlander, ETC, and even pricing is reasonable. Just on the name of reliability, Toyota is considering Indians like fools. Yes, reliability can be a way of marketing, but it is not everything you want in this world. Honda is offering features and reliability, both, unlike Toyota. I own a 2018 model city, and still it's running like a brand new vehicle, and maintenance is also cheap. Now, Toyota is even copying Maruti cars. If you consider all this, Honda is way better than Toyota (In India).
Carlos Sainz wants to know Camry's location.
Yaris... Altis. Camry. Superb
Awesome
I can see new Camry as taxi in Dubai and Abu Dhabi
Evn Thailand.
I see Merc E as taxi in ENTIRE Europe.
0-60 time in sport mode is 7.4 seconds
