2012 Toyota Camry MPG and Highlights

The 2012 Camry features better fuel economy and responsive performance. The DOHC 3.5L V-6 engine, which is available on the SE and XLE trim models, puts out a powerful 268 horsepower and 248 foot pounds of torque. The 2012 Toyota Camry gets an estimated 21 city/35 highway/25 combined miles per gallon, which means, according to Toyota, "The 2012 Camry V6 with a 30 mpg highway rating is one of the best in its class*."

A Dual Variable Valve Timing-intelligent (Dual VVT-i) is used on the V6, controlling the 2012 Camry's valve timing on both the intake and exhaust camshafts. Lower oil viscosity is a new V6 feature paired with an automatic transmission fluid warmer that ensures the transmission gets to operating temperature faster in cool weather. The V6 2012 Toyota Camry is aided in fuel economy by higher final drive-gear ratios.

Camry LE, Camry XLE and Camry SE models come with a six-speed automatic transmission, offering a sequential manual shift mode using the console shifter. Driver input tells the intelligent controls how to change the shifting strategy, with fast kick-down. "D range" sequential shifting is exclusive to the 2012 Camry SE, allowing manual shifting through new steering wheel paddle shifters even when the console is in the "D" mode. The automatic transmission features faster shift times in "S" mode exclusively on the new Camry SE, plus the downshift blipping control emphasizes a sense of sportiness.

Plus, once you get a glimpse of the 2012 Camry's wider, lower stance, visions of curvy roads will dance in your head. The curvature of the main beam unit that houses the headlights gives the 2012 Camry's front a much more dynamic shape. Plus, the 2012 Toyota Camry is offered in four new colors, two of which are new to Toyota in the US. Attitude Black Metallic blends jet black with a bright blue pigment, giving it a new, funky hue. Clearwater Blue has a finish reminiscent of water, with silver metallic pigment incorporated inside.

The trim in the 2012 Camry's interior was totally reshaped, allowing passengers a larger range of movement.
