Toyota New Camry Will Go To The ASEAN Market In October 2024
JAKARTA - The latest generation of Toyota Camry was introduced globally late last year with the United States (US) being the first country to sell this sedan.
After debuting in Uncle Sam's country, it was rumored that this luxury sedan would greet the Southeast Asian (ASEAN) market, following the latest generation Honda Accord rivals who had been introduced earlier.
Autolifethailand reported on Friday, August 9, this ninth-generation sedan will mark its regional debut in October this year. It is reported that Toyota Camry for the ASEAN market will follow Taiwan's specifications.
Unlike the versions of North America and China, the Taiwan version of the sedan has a number of differences in bumpers, rims and lights. In addition, the models to be sold have a mix of American and Chinese designs.

For the inside, the Camry will adopt North American and Chinese cabin designs. The interior is redesigned with a new dashboard layout with a wider infotainment screen in the middle.
In addition, Toyota also gives him an instrument cluster that has a new chart and look as part of the update for 2025.
It is hoped that this luxury iconist sedan will get an exclusive hybrid system for the ASEAN market. It is possible that the manufacturer will take the system from the RAV4 Hybrid. This means that Camry will be equipped with a 2.5 liter Atkinson-cycle 4-cylinder engine paired with a compact electric motor that produces up to 225 dk of combined power.
Thus, this opens up opportunities that the latest Toyota Camry will arrive in a number of ASEAN countries in the near future, including Indonesia.
Currently, PT Toyota-Astra Motor (TAM) is still selling the eighth generation model since its launch in 2019. Built on the TNGA GA-K platform for luxury vehicles, TAM sells it in non-hybrid versions of type V and Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV). TAM still sells this generation Camry in the Indonesian market at prices ranging from Rp809.8 million to Rp945.4 million On The Road DKI Jakarta.
