2 Answers
Power is sufficient, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of around 10 seconds. Camry 2.0 engine: Model: M20C; Production years: 2019; Fitted models: Toyota CHR; Performance parameters: Maximum power 131kw/6600rpm, maximum torque 210Nm/4400-5200rpm; Camry engine exclusive technologies: Official introduction states this powertrain is still imported. The 2.0L Dynamic Force engine adopts high-speed combustion technology, timing mechanism, electric continuously variable valve, variable cooling system and D-4S dual injection system, achieving 40% thermal efficiency. Power output (169 horsepower, 201Nm) outperforms previous generations.
I think the Camry 2.5's power is quite suitable for daily driving. With an engine output of 203 horsepower, it accelerates smoothly in the city and doesn't lag behind when dealing with traffic jams or stop-and-go situations at traffic lights. On the highway, overtaking from 80km/h to 120km/h is effortless, and even when carrying three or four friends or loading up the trunk, the power is still sufficient. Tackling small inclines is no problem. The average fuel consumption is around 7-9L/100km, which is slightly higher compared to some pure electric vehicles, but the maintenance costs are low, and Toyota's long-standing reputation ensures reliability and durability, making it worry-free to drive. It focuses on comfortable commuting—if you're looking for a thrilling racing experience on mountain roads, it might feel a bit lacking, but for most commuters or family users, it's absolutely sufficient and hassle-free. The 8-speed automatic transmission is well-matched, ensuring a smooth ride even on long trips without feeling fatigued.
