Toyota has revealed pricing for its Camry hybrid saloon, which returns to the UK this summer as an indirect replacement to the Avensis, priced from £29,995.

The Toyota Camry returns to the UK after some 15 years of absence

The move sees the saloon on sale again in the UK after some 15 years of absence; it’ll bring a more upmarket and slightly larger D-segment choice compared to the former Avensis.

Only offered in hybrid form, the eighth-generation saloon is based on Toyota’s New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform also used for models including the 2019 Corolla, and features a new 2.5-litre hybrid powertrain that delivers 218hp and CO2 emissions from 98g/km (NEDC Correlated), with combined cycle fuel consumption from 50.5mpg (WLTP).

It will be available in two equipment grades – Design and Excel. The Design comes as standard with 17-inch nine-spoke alloy wheels, leather upholstery, LED headlights, dual-zone automatic air con, smart entry and push-button start, front and rear parking sensors, reversing camera, heated and power-adjustable front seats with lumbar support, seven-inch TFT multi-information display and Toyota Touch 2 multimedia system with seven-inch touchscreen, navigation, Bluetooth and DAB.

It also features Toyota Safety Sense driver assistance features, covering Pre-Collision Safety system with pedestrian detection, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert with steering assist, Road Sign Assist, Sway Warning and Automatic High Beam.

The Excel, which is priced from £31,295, builds on this with 18-inch 20-spoke alloys, LED fog lights, LED dual-beam projector headlights, Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, wireless charging tray, Intelligent Clearance Sonar and Lane Change Assist.
