The Toyota Camry is a hard car to forget. Besides seeing one on almost every road, the Camry is a model that has been around for so long it is a regular part of everyone’s vocabulary, even if they don’t know what it means. Both the Corolla and the Camry get their names from words for “Crown” in different languages. Does the engine in the Camry deserve the title of “Crown” in your opinion? Continue reading and judge for yourself. more What Kind of Engine is in the 2021 Toyota Camry? There are two different engines in the 2021 Toyota Camry, not including the hybrid version of the model. The first is a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine and the upgraded version is a 3.5L V6. The hybrid Camry uses a modified version of the 2.5L engine to achieve hybrid fuel efficiency. How Powerful are the 2021 Toyota Camry Engine Options? Starting with the base model engine, the Toyota Camry can reach over 200 horsepower and over 180 lb-ft of torque depending on the trim. The V6 engine can produce 301 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque at the proper RPM. As you might expect, the hybrid engine is less, with a maximum horsepower of 176 horsepower and 163 lb-ft of torque. What are the Best Types of Headlights? Which Engine Option Should I Pick? When shopping for a Camry, this is one of the most important decisions you can make. Since there are three engine options, the choice is even more complicated. The clear leader in fuel efficiency is the hybrid engine, but the major drawback is engine power. The inverse is true with the V6, which you should pick if your priority is muscle. A Guide to Buying Used Toyota Camry Models The 4-cylinder engine still produces plenty enough power for a sedan, so you should test drive the base model first and see if you want to go more fuel-efficient or more muscle from there. You can schedule a test drive at Western Slope Toyota today over the phone, online, or in-person at 2264 Hwy 6 and 50, Grand Junction, CO 81505.

One of the best-selling sedans of all time is the Toyota Camry. Just take a seat in one and it makes perfect sense. The Camry is a balance of size and value, with high-tech features, comfortable design, and just about everything you could want with four doors and four wheels. It’s no surprise then that the Camry often ends up seeing a few owners in its life. Read the rest of this entry to learn how to shop for a used Toyota Camry like an expert. more What Do the Toyota Camry Trim Level Names Mean? If you aren’t familiar with the Toyota trim level naming scheme, it probably doesn’t make much sense to you. A quick way to understand the basics of the Toyota trim naming scheme, keep in mind that a trim that starts with “L” is usually a low trim level. If it has an “S” as its first letter, that trim is likely in the middle range, but if the first letter is an “X,” that is probably a high-level trim. The following list puts all of the 2020 Toyota Camry trim levels in order from lowest to highest trim: L LE SE SE Nightshade Edition XLE XSE TRD XSE V6 The hybrid trim levels are named similarly: Hybrid LE Hybrid SE Hybrid XLE Does the 2020 Toyota Camry Have AWD? When shopping for a used Toyota Camry, you need to pay attention to the trim level. Higher trim levels mean more safety features, better interior technology, and more comfort and convenience features. How Much Should a Used Toyota Camry Cost? You never want to over-pay for a used car, right? To make sure the price is right, take a few things into account. First, the age of the car. You might think this means the age of cars in years, but what really ages a car is miles. Take note of the mileage on any car you are interested in. The more miles a car has seen, the less it should cost. Consider the model year of the car and trim level together, because they are the biggest determiners of what features the car should have. For example, a top trim Camry from 1998 won’t have a stock radio with Bluetooth® connectivity, but a low trim Camry from 2019 probably will. Exact prices are usually negotiated between you and the seller, but make sure you don’t pay XSE prices for an LE trim, or 2008 prices for a 2018 model!

Twenty years ago when word of hybrid vehicles was just starting to get around, few people could have imagined where hybrid technology would be in twenty years. On one hand, some might have thought all our cars would be hybrids by now, while at the same time, many believed hybrid cars were a strange little fad that would die away and be forgotten about in a year or two. Neither of these two extremes is accurate, because after years of struggling for respect and relevance, the last couple years has seen a sudden surge in interest for hybrid vehicles. Read more below about the hybrid options Toyota has available. more What Hybrid Vehicles Does Toyota Make? Would you believe that the emerging 2021 model year would welcome as many as eight hybrid models to the Toyota lineup? The list below shows each model with some kind of hybrid technology. 2020 Camry Hybrid 2021 Corolla Hybrid 2021 Prius 2021 Prius Prime 2021 Avalon Hybrid 2020 RAV4 Hybrid 2021 Venza 2020 Highlander Hybrid Inside the 2021 Toyota Venza The 2021 Toyota Prius 2020 Edition Is the 2021 Venza a Hybrid? Take note that the models with “Hybrid” at the end of their name get that qualifier because non-hybrid versions of those cars are still available. In the case of the 2021 Toyota Venza, the model has returned after a few years on the drawing board without a regular gasoline model. That’s right, the Venza is exclusively a hybrid. What’s the Best Toyota Model For Road Trips In Idaho? What’s the Difference Between the 2021 Prius and the 2021 Prius Prime? The 2021 Prius Prime is a Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV). These types of vehicles are hybrids that should be plugged in at night. They run on their electric battery as their primary source of power, but they have a small gas tank and an internal combustion engine for long-distance travel. PHEVs like the Prius Prime are great if you only drive a dozen or so miles at a time and can save a lot more on gasoline than a regular hybrid can. Both the Prius and the Prius Prime are being offered as part of the 2021 model year.

The Toyota Camry is one of the most iconic sedans ever made, but Toyota won’t stop there. As great as the Camry is at saving on fuel costs, and as perfectly sized as it is, Toyota went another step in making it more perfect. The best way to do that was to add AWD to the Camry. Read on to learn how to find a Toyota Camry with AWD equipped. more What Trim Levels of the 2020 Toyota Camry Have AWD? The Camry hasn’t always had AWD available, but the 2020 model year offers it on four of the vehicle’s nine non-hybrid trims. Those four trims are the LE, SE, XLE, and the XSE trims. That means you can get a new 2020 Toyota Camry with AWD for a starting MSRP as low as $26,370. Not only that, but every trim of the Camry with AWD equipped has a center limited slip differential for even more traction on poor road conditions. Which Toyota Vehicles are Hybrids? Why Does the 2020 Toyota Camry Have AWD? Some must be asking themselves why Toyota would even put AWD on a mid-size sedan like the Camry, but it makes a lot of sense when you think about it. The Camry is one of the most popular car models ever, meaning it is sold in all kinds of climates. Those who live in snowy climates will often ignore FWD cars entirely to make sure they have AWD when the ice, sleet, and fresh powder hit. AWD can confuse some drivers into thinking their car can stop better in poor road conditions. This is not true, AWD is meant to get the wheels more traction when the vehicle is stopped, or the wheels are slipping. In that sense, AWD is only better for drivers who know they are going to need it and use it responsibly. After all, it’s not like the Toyota Camry is in high demand as an off-roading vehicle, nor is it built to be one.
