Driving the latest Toyota Camry sedan, the mid-range Ascent Sport in the
latest three model range at $42,990 plus on-road costs – now with Toyota’s
fifth generation hybrid system in a refreshed body with a revamped interior
and centre console and a nice choice of fabrics that give it more of classy
feel. As I said earlier, this latest Camry has more of a feel of Toyota’s luxury
brand Lexus. Sedan’s may not be on your radar but for those that like a
sedan over an SUV the Camry Ascent Sport will not disappoint.
Serviceability and reliability have always been a Camry high point – I was
recently in a Camry hybrid taxi that had covered 440,000km still on its
original engine and transmission, still on its third set of brake pads. The
latest hybrid powertrain impressive – i managed 4.4L/100km, the only
downside perhaps the needs for 95 octane unleaded – the hybrid system
smooth, exceptionally quiet and responsive. Five-star safety plus a stack of
active safety elements, a 360-degree camera and wireless phone charging.
Dislikes the small 7-inch instrument display, the top line SL model gets a
12.3-inch unit while the steering wheel controls could be more user
friendly. Otherwise, a very refined sedan for the money.
