LUXURY CAN be sustainable – the new Camry has a fuel efficiency of 25 km/litre. Luxury can be sensible – it costs ₹48 lakh, 40% less than Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Luxury can be sensual – take the rear seat, close your eyes, and feel like heaven.

What’s the Camry?
Toyota’s global icon, the Camry has been America’s bestselling car for 22 years. It was first launched in India in 2002. This month, the all-new model arrived. Sales in India are about 180 cars every month. There are two variants – Elegance (₹48 lakh), and Sprint (price and deliveries in April next year).
