A SUBTLE mid-life upgrade is coming to the Toyota Camry with updates inside and out.

A new front bumper design gives the Camry more street presence, with a chrome frame contrasting with the arrangement of black horizontal bars while at the rear, the design of the light clusters has been gently altered.

Both Camry grades have new alloy wheel designs - 10-spoke silver 17-inch wheels for the Design model and a multi-spoke design with a machined finish for the Excel's 18-inch rims.

Inside, there's a new leather upholstery design and the power-adjustable front seats in the Excel model gain ventilation and memory functions in addition to the heating and lumbar support that is standard across the range.

Smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto has been made a standard Camry feature.

Safety upgrades include the addition of Lane Trace Assist to the Toyota Safety Sense package and a location function for the tyre pressure monitoring system.

New features for the Camry Excel include a panoramic view monitor, giving the driver a 360-degree view of the area immediately around the car when manoeuvring in confined places, an automatic tilt action on the door mirrors when reversing and paddle shifts mounted on the steering wheel. The power-adjusting steering wheel itself now comes with a heater and a memory setting.

The Excel also gains a larger, nine-inch display for the Toyota Touch multimedia system; the seven-inch screen is retained for Design grade.

The new Toyota Camry is priced from £32,260 for the Design model and £34,830 for the Excel.
