Toyota Camry adopts the 6AR-FSE engine model Toyota Camry Engine: The Toyota Camry 2.0L model is equipped with the 6AR-FSE engine + 6AT. Compared with the old model, the new engine has been significantly improved. Compared with the 6AR-FE engine installed on the RAV-4, it adds direct injection technology, but it is not limited to conventional direct injection. Instead, it adopts the D-4S dual injection system found in models such as the Toyota 86, Lexus IS, and GS. Dual Injection System: Toyota's iconic D-4S dual injection system appears for the first time in domestic Camry models, providing two fuel injectors. The system can intelligently switch between direct injection and manifold injection according to driving conditions, combining the advantages of both to achieve better fuel economy while improving power. During Engine Cold Start: Intake manifold injection is used to make the fuel-air mixture more uniform and reduce nitrogen oxide emissions; at low to medium loads, mixed injection is used to increase torque and reduce fuel consumption; at high loads, direct injection is used to effectively lower the temperature inside the cylinder and increase power.

As a technology enthusiast, I truly appreciate the engineering details of the Toyota Camry's engine. It typically comes equipped with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder Dynamic Force engine, which boasts an impressive compression ratio of 14:1. Combined with direct injection technology and variable valve timing, this significantly enhances fuel efficiency and power output. The hybrid version is also based on this engine, adding an electric motor to easily push the system's total horsepower beyond 200, delivering quick and smooth acceleration. During my tests, I found the engine's thermal efficiency reaches 41%, which explains the low fuel consumption. Some older models featured a 3.5-liter V6 option, but the newer versions primarily focus on fuel-efficient four-cylinder engines. The engine noise control is excellent, providing a quiet cabin experience even at high speeds. Technical highlights include anti-knock design and durable materials, ensuring long-term stable operation.

As a long-term Camry owner, I find its engine performance exceptionally reliable in daily use. The 2.5L gasoline version I drive delivers ample power with smooth acceleration, making city driving effortless for keeping up with traffic, while remaining dependable for highway overtaking. Fuel efficiency is a standout feature, averaging around 6L/100km, saving me considerable fuel costs. Having tried a friend's hybrid version, which shares the same 2.5L engine but adds electric assistance, the start-up is nearly silent and fuel consumption drops below 5L/100km, making it ideal for commuting. Maintenance is straightforward—I just follow regular oil changes and circuit checks, with zero breakdowns in five years. The engine remains stable even on bumpy roads.

I chose the Camry for its reliable engine, opting for the 2.5L standard version for peace of mind. With kids in the back seat, the engine runs smoothly without vibration, and I never worry about breakdowns on long trips. The hybrid engine paired with the electric motor produces minimal vibration and noise, reducing motion sickness for the kids. Fuel consumption is well controlled at just over 6L per 100km, saving money with less frequent refueling. Maintenance is convenient with quick service at the 4S shop, and Toyota's quality gives me confidence the engine won't fail easily even after ten years.
