Toyota unveils the new Generation of Camry
- The Japanese carmaker Toyota unveiled the eighth generation of the Camry sedan (D-segment) at the Detroit Motor Show.
- The Camry is part of the D segment sedans like the Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, Ford Fusion, Chevrolet Malibu, Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima. It remains since 2002 the most sold sedan in the United States.
- In 2016, 389,000 Camry were sold in the United States, including 22,500 hybrid units( hybrids representing therefore less than 6% of Camry’s sale). The objective of Toyota is to sell 400,000 Camry per year on this market including 10% of hybrid versions.
- The new Toyota Camry will be produced in the US, in Georgetown, Washington, as before, at a rate of 400,000 units per year.
