ways to distinguish a Russian-assembled Camry from a Japanese one . It’s enough just to show a little attention and even with a quick inspection of the car, everything will immediately fall into place.
It is important to know that Camrys adapted for the Russian Federation were produced in Japan only until 2008, and all models of later years of production are guaranteed to be assembled at the Russian Toyota plant in St. Petersburg. Unless, of course, the car was imported from European countries, which happens quite rarely.
How to distinguish a Japanese-made Toyota Camry
Toyota Camry trunk and its volume
In terms of its dimensions, the four-door Toyota Camry sedan is not inferior to other representatives of the business class, providing passengers with a comfortable and convenient ride even when loaded with three people in the back row of seats.
At the same time, the designers made sure that the trunk of the car fits all the things for four passengers and the driver if a long trip is planned. In normal condition, the Toyota Camry trunk has a volume of 506 liters for all versions except the Prestige configuration. In this configuration, due to the additional options that are located in the luggage compartment, its volume is slightly less than standard and amounts to 486 liters. But even this volume is quite enough to place a fairly large load in the trunk.
If you need to transport some large item one-time, the trunk volume can be increased by folding the rear row seats. In this case, the volume almost doubles and will be about 1100 liters.
The Camry trunk not only has a large volume, but is very convenient to use. First of all, the design of the luggage compartment has an optimal configuration - it is not only deep, but also wide. The luggage opening has a flat shape, making it easier to load bulky or wide items.
Also, the Toyota Camry trunk is equipped with various additional hooks that allow you to secure a bag or cargo in the trunk and prevent it from tipping over.
Under the carpet in the luggage compartment there is a full-size spare tire, a jack, a warning triangle and the tools necessary for quickly removing the wheel rim. To avoid extraneous sounds and “dangling” of the spare wheel in the trunk, it is rigidly fixed in the niche with a threaded connection.

Generations of Toyota Camry:
- 8th generation 2021 (XV70, Hybrid, sedan)
- 8th generation 2021 (XV70, sedan)
- 8th generation 2021 (XV70, sedan, for Japan)
- 8th generation 2021 (XV70, sedan, for USA)
- 7th generation 2017-2018 (XV55, sedan, 2nd restyling)
- 7th generation 2014-2017 (XV55, sedan, restyling)
- 7th generation 2014-2017 (XV50, sedan, restyling, for the USA)
- 7th generation 2011-2014 (XV50, sedan)
- 7th generation 2011-2014 (XV50, sedan, for USA)
After the Japanese manufacturer transferred the Toyota Camry model to the business class category, the car is produced as a sedan. Fans of the model, and the manufacturer himself, have repeatedly tried to present the car as a station wagon, but so far this option has not entered mass production. Depending on the configuration and generation, the volume of the luggage compartment ranges from 300 to 1147 liters. It is also worth considering that in the latest generations the second row of seats does not fold; only in some trim levels is such a function available with a 60/40 proportion, and even then, creating a small window rather than a full-fledged platform.
Dimensions of Camry XV10
Body parameters, namely width, height and length of the Toyota Camry XV10 are 1770, 1415 and 4725 mm, respectively. At the same time, the wheelbase is 2 m 61.8 cm, the distance between the front wheels is one and a half meters and 4.9 centimeters, and the rear is one and a half meters and 9.9 centimeters. Weight: 1355 kilograms. Aerodynamic drag coefficient: 0.31.

The XV10 has more modest parameters, discussed in this material, in comparison with models of subsequent generations, however, their differences are not so significant that one has to talk about better handling on the road or more comfortable parking.
Increasing the volume of the luggage compartment
It happens that the trunk volume does not always correspond to the size of the car. Fortunately, the Toyota Camry is a business class car and the manufacturer has provided it with a spacious luggage compartment. But, if this space is not enough for you, we offer several options to increase the internal dimensions of the car trunk:
- Since this car is equipped with a full-size spare tire, which takes up a lot of space, you can replace it with a spare tire, which takes up much less space. To do this, you will not only have to replace the spare tire itself, but also remove the plastic organizer for fastening the full-size spare tire, and instead install a “dock” mounting bolt (sold in any car store);
- when transporting large cargo, the most logical, albeit temporary, solution would be to lower the backrests of the rear seats (we remind you that this function is not available in all trim levels);
- choose trunk mats that are sized for a specific type of car. In absolute terms, this will increase the trunk volume of your Camry slightly, but will make operation more comfortable and ergonomic.

Electric trunk opening
On some models, this function is already provided at the factory, but there will certainly be car enthusiasts who would like to install such a system on their Toyota Camry themselves.
The automatic trunk opening system includes the following components:
- electric drive;
- two four-pin relays;
- push rod;
- system fuse;
- control buttons;
- control circuit.
The drive can be made in two versions: using magnetic plates, or using an electric motor (this type of drive is considered more practical in terms of durability). It is also worth paying attention to the way the system is controlled: using a button in the car or using a remote control.
When choosing control from the interior button, installation is quite easy to do yourself. In the second case, we advise you to entrust the work to professional auto electricians.
Installing an automatic trunk opening drive
To install the system yourself, you should immediately prepare special equipment:
- terminals;
- wiring (wire cross-section 1mm);
- fuse mounts;
- insulating tape.
First, you need to dismantle the plastic trim inside the trunk (fastening with bolts and clips), then proceed to dismantle the old lock and install a new one or a modified old one (the standard lock in the Camry 40 needs to be modified by bending one tooth).
After this, electrical wiring is laid (before installation, do not forget to remove the terminals from the battery) to provide power to the system. The most convenient option is to power it from the car's cigarette lighter.
You can get to it by removing the center panel (being careful not to damage the trim).
We install the opening control button in a place you like (don’t forget to think about convenience and ergonomics). The fuse must be placed in the part of the electrical circuit between the cigarette lighter and the button.
Replacing the trunk lid
There is nothing complicated in the process of replacing the trunk lid on a Camry. You should follow the instructions:
- First, remove the casing from the lid;
- disconnect the backlight and camera wiring;
- Unscrew the fastening bolts and remove the cover.
Installing the new cover is done in reverse order.
A common reason for replacing the trunk lid on a Camry after mechanical damage is water seeping inside. Of course, sometimes moisture getting inside is associated with damage to the rubber seal or rear light (in this case, the problem is solved by replacing these parts).
Toyota Camry XV70 2021
This ninth generation of the sedan, presented by the Japanese automaker, went on sale in 2021. This car is made on a completely new GA-K platform, developed within the TNGA architecture, which has a large number of advantages compared to previous models: improved sound insulation, increased body strength, low weight. This platform has great prospects and, following the Camry, the new RAV4 will be released on it.
The main idea of the architecture is to lower the center of gravity, as a result of which the unification of all components was achieved and the arrangement of components and assemblies was changed. The suspension was changed - instead of torsion bar mechanisms, coil springs were installed on the rear axle. This in turn made it possible to increase the usable volume of the luggage compartment.
The overall dimensions of the Toyota Camry have changed, increasing by 15mm in width, and the car has dropped 50mm lower. To increase visibility, the hood line has been lowered by 40mm. Final dimensions of Toyota Camry 2018:
- length – 4885mm,
- width – 1840mm,
- height – 1455mm.
A large number of configurations are available to the consumer, including the required number of options: Standard, Classic, Standard Plus, Prestige Safety and others.
Options and prices
| Standard | 1 407 000 | Standard Plus | 1 460 000 |
| Classic | 1 536 000 | Comfort | 1 557 000 |
| Elegance | 1 640 000 | Elegance Plus | 1 676 000 |
| Exclusive | 1 710 000 | Prestige | 1 782 000 |
| Elegance Drive | 1 865 000 | Lux | 2 009 000 |
The car is offered in three trim levels. They differ from each other in power units, since the “filling” in each version is approximately the same, with some minor optional improvements.
For the basic package, which includes all the necessary equipment and functions, you will have to pay at least 1,200,000 rubles.
The starting price of the average configuration is 100,000 rubles higher, and the only additions that can be noted are a more powerful power unit.
The Toyota Camry 2016-2017 model in the top configuration will cost the buyer 2,000,000 rubles. But, if you take a closer look at the equipment and characteristics of the model, then this is not a very large sum for a car of this level.
It is worth noting that each configuration has several more varieties, which also differ in engine type.
For example, there are three configuration options with a two-liter engine. The cost of each of them, starting with the youngest: 1,213,000 rubles, 1,287,000 rubles and 1,352,000 rubles.
Next there are four options with a 2.5-liter engine: 1,449,000 rubles, 1,531,000 rubles, 1,567,000 rubles and 1,668,000 rubles.
The most powerful are the last two, the most expensive configurations, which are equipped with a 3.5-liter engine with a capacity of 250 horsepower. Their cost is respectively 1,735,000 rubles and 1,880,000 rubles.

Toyota Camry XV55
This model is a restyled version of the XV50 sedan, released in 2011. Restyling was carried out twice - in 2014 and 2021. The main changes affected the appearance: a new shape of the bumper and radiator grille, a different location of the fog lights. A large multimedia panel appeared in the cabin; a 5-inch display was installed on the instrument panel, allowing you to quickly read the necessary information.
On more expensive trim levels, a long-awaited option has become available - a fully heated windshield; before this, it was only possible to order a car with heating in the rest zone of the windshield wipers.
- length – 4850mm,
- width – 18325mm,
- height 1480mm.
The car was equipped with 3 types of engines - 2L, 2.5L and 3.5L, which are paired with an automatic gearbox.
Powertrains and transmission
The 2021 Toyota Camry cannot yet boast of completely updated engines. Three power plants were inherited unchanged from the previous generation, but a new engine also appeared:
- Four-cylinder engine - volume 2 liters, power 150 hp. The innovative engine is equipped with an electronic system that controls valve timing, as well as combined fuel injection.
- Four-cylinder engine - volume 2.5 liters, power 180 hp.
- Six-cylinder engine - volume 3.5 liters, power 270 hp.
- Hybrid power plant with 200 hp power.
All engines comply with the Euro 4 environmental standard and are designed to consume 95-octane gasoline. At the moment, all versions of the sedan are planned to be equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission. The hybrid engine is coupled with an E-CVT.
The front-wheel drive sedan, as before, is based on a platform using MacPherson struts in the front suspension and a multi-link rear system. The 2021 Toyota Camry has a chassis setup adapted to Russian operating conditions, which will significantly increase reliability and ride comfort. The electric power steering has a variable torque adjustment system.
Toyota Camry XV50
This is the eighth generation of the famous sedan. Production of this modification began in 2011. The purpose of releasing this model was to relaunch the legendary model in the fortieth body. Designers and engineers did not want to radically change a product that was loved by consumers on the market, so the changes were quite minor: the weakest points were corrected, but the reliability and layout of the components were preserved, the base underwent virtually no changes to ensure the same smoothness and stability on the roads.
Camry XV50 parameters:
- length – 4825mm,
- width – 1825mm,
- height – 1480mm.
The power unit had 3 modifications: 2L, 2.5L, 3.5L, which was paired with a 4 or 6-speed automatic transmission.
Toyota Camry XV40
XV40 is the seventh generation of business sedan from the Japanese manufacturer. The model has been produced since 2006; the car was restyled in 2009. The car can be called legendary, and there will be no exaggeration in this. At the moment, you can still see a large number of cars of this series on the roads. This is explained by the reliability of the power units, body strength, and good suspension, which made the car a profitable option not only for ordinary buyers, but also for a large number of fleets. The sedan belongs to the so-called business class. The car interior is spacious, comfortable, well suited for a small family. A large trunk and good equipment, even for those times, make this model popular in the secondary market.
Dimensions of Toyota Camry XV40:
- length – 4815mm,
- width – 1820mm,
- height 1480mm.
The value of dimensions during operation
The larger the car, the more difficult it is to drive, the more clumsy it behaves on the road and has difficulties with parking issues, however, as the size increases, the level of safe operation increases. When any situation arises on the road, the driver must have a great sense of the scale of the “horse” in order to promptly avoid an emergency situation, confidently and quickly occupy a parking space, and skillfully drive the vehicle in traffic jams.
White Camry 55 on top and 70 on bottom
For novice car enthusiasts, the most effective way to feel the scale is regular practice and the ability to correctly use information from the side mirrors. In particular, the importance of side mirrors cannot be overestimated when parking in reverse. Driving schools practice special exercises, the completion of which allows the car enthusiast to feel the size of the car much more effectively and feel more confident on the road in the most difficult situations.
Camry XV50 for the American, Russian and Japanese markets.
Difficulties with feeling the size of their “horse” are often experienced not only by novice drivers, but also by experienced car owners when purchasing a new car, especially when changing the type, for example, from a sedan to an SUV or minivan.
Streamlining or drag directly affects not only speed, but also fuel consumption, stability and operational safety. The drag coefficient is determined by the manufacturer in a special wind tunnel or using computer simulation.

"Stuffing" of auto and safety
Advanced safety systems allow the driver to notice obstacles on the roads in time and respond to them in a timely manner. The updated version of Toyota Camry is tested for ANCAP safety.
On the front panel in front of the driver there is a monitor with a diagonal of 4.2 inches. The screen displays the interface of the multimedia system. The on-board computer display is located behind the steering wheel. The developers tried to ensure that these two screens were interconnected. The smaller device can also display information about the radio station being played or information provided by the navigation system. The car seats are equipped with comfortable armrests.
