Toyota launched the current-generation Camry in India back in 2012 and is now looking to launch its mid-cycle facelift in our market next year.

Toyota showcased the Camry facelift at the Moscow motor show in November this year and the same updated car is expected to hit Indian showrooms in the first of 2015. The facelifted Camry gets styling changes both outside and in – up front, the headlamps are re-styled with LED daytime running lamps and the grille is all-new with a band of chrome on top of it. There’s also a new protruding chin along with the re-designed bumper. These changes align the Camry’s styling with the carmaker's current generation models such as the new Corolla Altis.

At the rear, the boot lid gets mild styling tweaks and the tail-lamps get new LED inserts. The chrome strip on the boot lid is now thinner and divides the tail-lamp into two parts. The alloy wheel designs are also expected to be new on the updated car.

On the inside, the 2015 Toyota Camry has a sporty looking three-spoke multi-function steering wheel instead of the four-spoke unit in the current car. The instrument cluster has also been updated, with blue backlight and a larger 4.2-inch screen at the centre. The multimedia screen on the centre console is also bigger at 6.1 inches.

The updated Camry is not expected to get any changes under the skin and is likely to continue with the petrol and petrol-hybrid set-ups that are on offer currently.

Toyota, so far, has sold 1,360 current-generation Camrys since its launch here in 2012, of which 579 are hybrid models. The carmaker assembles the current-gen Camry in India via CKD kits to keep costs low and will follow the trend with the updated Camry as well.
