The Toyota Camry v50 itself is a very attractive car that arouses interest among others. But, since so many car enthusiasts like this product of the Japanese automobile industry, it cannot be called a rarity on domestic roads. For those who still want to stand out from the crowd, tuning the Toyota Camry v50 is suitable, thanks to which you can emphasize your own individuality.
Exterior tuning
The appearance of the Camry V50 is balanced: moderately sporty and solid, but it cannot be called spectacular. Therefore, owners take up tuning the exterior of the Camry V50. One of the possible options for changing the appearance is Lexus style. To make a Camry look like a Lexus, you need to purchase and install:
- headlights,
- front bumper,
- radiator grille,
- chrome moldings,
- trim around the grille and foglights.
The Lexus style kit will cost about 65 thousand rubles. Look at the photo of a Camry tuned for Lexus.
Airbrushing and tapography remain attractive options for changing the appearance of a car. Those. changing the color of the body by applying paint and film, respectively.
Refinement of headlights and lanterns
Owners of the Camry V50 complain about the poor light from the stock headlights; there are several options to solve this problem:
- purchasing new headlights from a third-party manufacturer. You can purchase optics with diode running lights, in the Lexus style. When choosing new headlights, be careful; a beautiful design is not the main thing, it is important that the light is comfortable and does not blind oncoming and passing traffic.
- diode bulbs in the “original” headlights. Good LED lamps are expensive, so be prepared to spend money if you want quality light with a comfortable spectrum.
- halogen lamps from another manufacturer. Many different companies produce halogen bulbs for car headlights. In the Camry V50, the base of the low beam lamps is H11.
- put xenon in halogen optics. We talked in detail about this process in the Camry 40. If you decide on this procedure, then be prepared to buy not only ignition units and lamps, but also change the lenses. A halogen light lens is not suitable for xenon: it is not enough to disperse a powerful light beam (there will be a bright spot of light in front of the car, which will tire the eyes; nothing will be visible outside the illuminated area).
- installation of original, factory xenon headlights. If the Camry V50 has halogen optics, then you can buy and install optics from an expensive version with xenon. A new set of necessary elements will be expensive, so it makes sense to look for a used one.
There are many non-original rear lights for Camry V50 on the market, stylized as Mercedes or BMW. Installing beautiful taillights on the Camry 50 is not so easy; problems may arise due to the fact that the non-original taillight segment on the trunk is slightly larger than the stock one. The solution is to grind off the chrome “saber” above the number. The problem with installing the tail light segment on the fender is that the mounting of the aftermarket headlight is displaced, which is why the bumper does not fit into place. Connecting a new rear light to the on-board network can be an unpleasant surprise; you will have to redo the “chips”.
Toyota Camry tuning. Body kits
The existing body kits on the market help to radically transform the appearance in the process of tuning the Camry 50, making the car difficult to recognize. High-tech manufacturing of parts, excellent plastic and well-thought-out designs of body kit mounts create the opportunity for any transformation of your Japanese “iron horse”.
But as often happens, having such a solid car, you really want to see and feel the manifestation of its indomitable power. This is unlikely to happen with a factory engine - after all, the Toyota Camry is not a sports car. But you just have to “finish” the engine with the help of chipping, and your car will turn into a beast. And there is no need to spend hours under the hood up to your elbows in oil and dirt.
If you're still wondering if chipping your vehicle makes sense, just read these numbers.
As a result of competent tuning, we get an additional 55–75 hp. By the way, Toyota cars are one of the few that can boast of such a significant increase in power. Even with the famous BMW, chip tuning does not give such a result, the increase is only 30-40 hp, and even then not always. Torque increases by 5-20%. It all depends on the program you are using.
Selection of disks
Large and beautiful rims are the key to a spectacular looking car. The Camry V50 was offered with two wheel sizes: R16 for simple trim levels and R17 for expensive ones. In North America, the Camry 50 was officially sold with R18 wheels. The largest wheels that will fit on a stock Camry R19. When buying wheels with tires for a car, you need to understand that they affect traffic safety, comfort and handling. The larger the wheels, the more controllability and less comfort.
Interior tuning
If we talk about tuning the interior, the lighting of the instrument panel, buttons and thresholds looks very impressive - it is extremely easy to install and with it the interior is completely transformed.
The interior of the Camry V50 cannot be called the standard of wear resistance, so the owners have it altered. Specialized craftsmen will offer many options: leather with Alcantara, an interior of several colors, contrasting seams. An important factor in the successful transformation of the interior is the quality of the materials used; the leather must withstand low temperatures (up to -20, when the car is parked outside in winter) and high temperatures (up to +40, when the car is heated in the sun in summer). If you do not use high-quality materials, then “crickets” will settle in the interior, the leather will crack and wrinkle, and in places with high loads it may simply tear.
Toyota Camry optics tuning
Is there any doubt that your car will become more spectacular as soon as it is decorated with “angel eyes”? Moreover, in addition to improving the attractiveness of Toyota, this tuning also has a practical purpose - on the road, with the headlights on, you will become more visible, and traffic safety increases. Installation of this element becomes a breeze for anyone who has ever used a soldering iron.
Headlight protection. Tuning Camry 50
Like any car, this one is especially equipped with “angel eyes”. The process itself is quite easy; you need to apply a special film with a special composition to the glass. As a result, you get protection for your headlights from debris, rain and snow.
Don't forget about the Camry's interior. For all its constructive literacy, it has a number of disadvantages, the main one of which is sound insulation. Do not forget that the car was not made for our weather conditions. No, if in your region the winter temperature never drops below -15, you can scroll further. For others, more details.
Sound insulation will help your Toyota significantly reduce noise levels, but will also significantly help the body withstand external weather conditions. This will affect how quickly and efficiently your car can reach the desired temperature due to the built-in climate control with a sealed roof and doors. You should also work on the sound insulation in the luggage compartment. Since there are no heating ducts in the trunk, your Camry will lose a huge amount of heat due to this. And the extra noise from the trunk will no longer annoy you.
Toyota Camry interior lighting
Tuning the standard Camry lighting, that is, controls, buttons, as well as the floor, can give your interior a special shine. There are a lot of lighting color options, it all depends on your taste, imagination and the design of the salon itself. Make multicolor lighting.
Tuning seats Toyota Camry v50
When you're tuning your interior, don't forget about your seats. Upholster them with new material with higher strength, thereby increasing the comfort of your stay in the car.
Optional equipment
Expensive Camry trim levels are equipped with almost everything necessary, but affordable options lack many options. Necessary features that will increase comfort and functionality are installed additionally. The following additional equipment is installed on the Camry V50:
- metal crankcase protection will be useful if the car is operated in a region with bad roads or often travels onto country roads,
- a good security system will save you from unnecessary shocks,
- pre-heater or autostart, which will warm up the engine and interior before your arrival,
- heated steering wheel will make winter driving more pleasant,
- The rear view camera will help you park in difficult places,
- the blind spot monitoring system will protect you from some emergency situations,
- a special system that determines and records the pressure in a car’s tires – with it you will know everything about the condition of the car’s wheels,
- heating the rear sofa will increase passenger comfort.
Camry V50 engine tuning
Refinement of the Camry V50 engine is usually limited to chip tuning; not many owners undertake deep modifications. Therefore, we will talk in detail about this procedure.
Chip tuning is making changes to the software of the electronic engine control unit. Simply put, you simply erase the program provided by the manufacturer and install your own, which better suits your desires. Thanks to such manipulations, you can, for example, increase the power of a car or reduce fuel consumption.
So that the results of the work cease to be something incomprehensible and mythical, let us give an example of real indicators that can be achieved. The first thing that chip tuning affects on a Toyota Camry is an increase in power to 50-75 “horses”. Quite a lot, right? Next, we increase the torque. The size of the “growth” ranges from 5-20%. It all depends on the program that is selected for tuning. At the same time, fuel consumption is reduced - about 1.5 liters per 100 km.
In general, we can talk about improved dynamics while driving. Car enthusiasts who have chip-tuned their Camry note that engine idling has become stable, and gear shifting no longer causes jerking and jerking.
We consider it inadvisable to chip the V6 3.5 2GR engine, stock 249 hp. and 346 N*m of torque is enough for the front-wheel drive sedan. In some situations, this power even causes inconvenience. The advantage of reflashing the ECU of the 2GR engine is a reduction in fuel consumption to 2 liters per 100 km, with a calm driving style.
Chip tuning of the Toyota Camry 2.5 2AR-FE engine will lead to the following changes:
- increase in power by 10-15% from 181 to 205 hp.
- increase in torque by 10-15% from 231 to 260 N*m,
- reduction in fuel consumption,
- reducing the engine reaction time to pressing the gas pedal (eliminating hesitation of the gas pedal), quick gear changes.
- Optimization of gearbox operation is explained by the fact that the engine and gearbox control unit are a single unit.
Full tuning of the Toyota Camry V50 is a rather lengthy and expensive process. But it is definitely justified by the result of the work!

Engine 2.5 2AR
We don’t think it’s advisable to chip the V6 3.5 2GR engine, the stock 249 hp. and 346 N*m of torque is enough for the front-wheel drive sedan. In some situations, this power even causes inconvenience. The advantage of reflashing the ECU of the 2GR engine is a reduction in fuel consumption to 2 liters per 100 km, with a calm driving style.

- increase in torque by 10-15% from 231 to 260 N*m,
- reduction in fuel consumption,
- reducing the engine reaction time to pressing the gas pedal (eliminating hesitation of the gas pedal),
- fast gear changes.
Optimization of gearbox operation is explained by the fact that the engine and gearbox control unit are a single unit.
You should only trust car chip tuning to trusted professionals. You can get information about the workshop by asking for the phone numbers of previous clients and calling them. Also, good craftsmen give a guarantee on the work and do not refuse to return the money and roll back to the factory program within the agreed time if the client is not satisfied with the result.
