The 2016 Toyota Camry carries the distinction of being Australian-made, a factor that resonated strongly with local buyers at a time when domestic car manufacturing was entering its final years. The Atara SL is the top petrol variant in the range, equipped with a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine producing 135 kW and 235 Nm of torque, with a claimed combined fuel consumption of 7.8 litres per 100 km.
As a mid-size sedan, the Camry occupies a segment that prizes refinement, reliability and cabin comfort over outright sportiness. The Atara SL delivers on all three, with a feature set appropriate for its price point and a ride quality suited to long-distance touring.
The Camry competes with the Honda Accord and Hyundai Sonata, two rivals that have positioned themselves as comfortable, well-equipped family sedans. Toyota's reputation for ownership reliability gives the Camry an enduring appeal that remains a key part of its pitch.
