Canadian Debut of the All-New Camry

2018 Toyota Camry Specs & Features

Starting last week and going all this week, the all-new 2018 Toyota Camry will be on display in Toronto at the Canadian International Auto Show. We’re excited that Canadians finally get to see the all-new, next-generation version of the best-selling midsize sedan. Of course, there are a host of other vehicles and technologies on display at the show, but the Toyota Camry might be the most exciting – perhaps with the exception of the 2018 Toyota C-HR.

“Toyota’s vision is shaped by a desire to constantly move towards a better future – to bring that future to our customers and the communities in which they live. Canadians attending the Toronto Auto Show will find many examples of that on display- from new models like the completely redesigned 2018 Camry and Camry Hybrid making their Canadian debuts to future-ready hydrogen fuel cell models and advanced safety systems that make driving safer for everyone. And the innovation doesn’t stop there – new in-vehicle connectivity services deliver peace of mind and convenience, to ensure Toyota owners have the best possible ownership experience no matter which of our stylish, fun-to-drive and value-packed cars, SUVs or pickups is in their driveway.”

– Stephen Beatty, Vice President, Toyota Canada Inc.

Specs

As far as specifications are concerned, there is one that stands above the rest in the all-new Camry. While we don’t know the exact number as of yet, we do know that the 2018 Camry is most likely going to achieve best-in-class fuel economy ratings for the midsize sedan segment. Without the actual specs, we can’t confirm this as of yet, but Toyota has claimed that that is what they’re shooting for and what will likely happen, which is very exciting.

Features

When it comes to features, it’s hard to look past the Camry’s safety features. With the newest version of Toyota Safety Sense P in effect, the 2018 Camry will be the safest version of the sedan to date. The Camry will be outfitted with the Pre-Collision System featuring Pedestrian Detection, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert featuring Steering Assist, Automatic High Beams and on some models even Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.

The Newest Addition to the TRD Lineup

2018 Toyota Sequoia TRD Sport Canadian Release Date

You might remember late last week, we announced the all-new 2018 Toyota Tundra TRD Sport model, as well as the fact that the Tundra would be undergoing a mid-generation refresh. But we also mentioned that the Tundra wasn’t the only TRD Sport model to be unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show last week. Enter the all-new 2018 Toyota Sequoia TRD Sport. We simply cannot wait for its Canadian release date, as this marks the first time the Sequoia has ever had a TRD trim level.

“Lately, the TRD Pro family has been getting a lot of the Toyota spotlight, creating a halo-effect that has made our TRD Sport and TRD Off-Road grades more popular than ever. In fact, across our Truck and SUV lineup, TRD sales are up by more than 52 percent over the last two years. And nearly half of Tundra and Tacoma customers are option for a TRD package. Whether it’s on the trail or in the fast lane, our truck owners appreciate that added performance edge and unique styling that sets them apart. Ladies and gentlemen, I’m pleased to introduce the two newest additions to the TRD family… the 2018 Tundra… and Sequoia TRD Sport. These trucks came out great!”

– Bill Fay, Vice President and General Manager, Toyota Group

Yesterday that all-new 2018 Toyota Tundra was introduced as Toyota unveiled the new 2018 Tundra TRD Sport model. Today we thought we’d give you a better look at the sporty new off-road truck with our Friday Photo Gallery. Toyota hasn’t yet released a ton of photos for the new truck, but we do have the few that they did add to its website, so you can check them out below. We’re very excited for the new truck to arrive right here in Edmonton, and can’t wait to make it available to all of you truck enthusiasts out there.

What did Toyota bring to the 2017 Chicago Auto Show?

2018 Toyota Tundra TRD Sport Canadian Release Date

Today was the kick-off of the 2017 Chicago Auto Show, and we weren’t positive what Toyota was going to have in store for us, but we are quite pleased with the result. Our brand didn’t just introduce a new vehicle, it introduced three new vehicles, and we’re quite excited about all of them. But the one that is probably going to be the most exciting for all of you truck enthusiasts out there is the all-new 2018 Toyota Tundra, and more specifically its new TRD Sport trim level. With a Canadian release date slated for later this year, sometime in September to be as exact as we can at this point, we simply cannot wait for it to arrive here in Edmonton, Alberta.

“Ladies and gentlemen… I’m pleased to introduce the two newest additions to the TRD family… the 2018 Tundra and Sequoia TRD Sport. These trucks came out great! With a focus on superior on-road driving performance… our engineers at TRD worked closely with Bilstein to develop sport-tuned shocks. Next… they reduced body-roll by adding beefier TRD front and rear sway bars. And finally… they topped them off by pairing them to distinct 20” wheel and tire packages. Each TRD Sport comes with its own styling to match its enhanced performance.”

– Bill Fay, Vice President and General Manager, Toyota Group

What’s new in the 2018 Toyota Tundra TRD Sport?

As you can tell by the quote above, the Sequoia will have a TRD model for the first time as well, which we are certainly excited about. But the Tundra TRD Sport might be the most exciting of the three new models, especially considering the entire 2018 Toyota Tundra was also refreshed for the new model year. That means whether you’re interested in a TRD Sport or not, you will have the benefit of several updates and enhancements both inside and out even in your regular 2018 Tundra. These changes include the addition of Toyota Safety Sense P, a new mesh or billet-style grille depending on trim level, DRLs and Fog Lights on certain trims and much more.

As for the 2018 Tundra TRD Sport, it will be available on the CrewMax or Double Cab configurations and will be powered by the 5.7L V8 engine option. Added features will include the following:

TRD Sport-tuned Bilstein Shocks
TRD Front and Rear Anti-Sway Bars
Color-keyed mirrors, bumpers and hood scoop
20” Alloy Silver Sport Wheels
LED Headlights featuring smoked chrome bezel
LED Daytime Running Lights
LED Fog Lights
Mesh Grille with Body Color Surround

World Debut of the 2018 Toyota Camry and Camry Hybrid

2018 Toyota Camry Canadian Release Date

The Toyota Camry, arguably our brand’s most iconic vehicle, was last remodeled for the 2011 model year. There have, of course, been facelifts and enhancements since then, but the 10th-generation midsize sedan and its hybrid counterpart have been going strong for the past seven years. But, as we announced last week, and as we finally go to see this morning, a new Camry is on the horizon. At the North American International Auto Show today, the 11th-generation 2018 Toyota Camry was introduced, and we simply cannot wait for its Canadian release date later this year.

What’s new in the 2018 Toyota Camry?

Of course, plenty has changed leading into the next-generation Toyota Camry – including its architecture and design. You can get a glimpse at the new model’s exterior and interior design changes at the photos above, but we’ll give you a better look on Friday in this week’s photo gallery. What we think you’re really interested in is all of the other updates.

For instance, the new Human Machine Interface which offers, on certain trim levels, three different display screens. The first is of course the audio/navigation/HVAC control panel, which is an 8” screen in the center console. The second is the multi-information display, which is now 7” – nearly twice the size of MID screens in the past. But the third and perhaps coolest of the three, is the 10” color head-up display.

Of course there are plenty of other updates and enhancements, and we’ll cover them all in the weeks to come leading to the new Camry’s release. So keep checking back here at the Wheaton Toyota on the Trail blog for even more information as it becomes available.
