There is a new leather steering wheel with neat buttons to tune the new six-CD changer which also has an MP3 set-up. The dashboard is of dual-hue and flows into a wood-covered centre console. The driver’s seat has electrical lumbar support and 10-way adjustments. The seats are supportive and high-set, and there's masses of space. The rear bench, so important in this class, is superb, with plenty of legroom, a perfect back-rest angle and excellent under-thigh support.

The plush leather interiors are safe as well. The new Camry comes with six airbags in addition to the two that were offered in the older one. Four new airbags spurt out as curtains in the event of an accident and are meant to prevent passengers getting injured during a side impact. Two small touches stand out: a sun-blind that shields the backs of rear passengers' necks, and the ‘Comfort Guide,’ a clip that prevents the rear seatbelts from chafing the necks of children or short adults. The parking brake lever is now foot-operated rather than by hand.
