丰田最近正在密歇根州开发下一代凯美瑞,谍照记者首次拍到了正在测试的新车照片。不过,这款车从头到脚都进行了重度伪装,很好的掩盖了车身的所有细节。不过,从车头模糊的伪装隐约可见格栅轮廓,但似乎与现行版的形状一样,不过中间的丰田车标似乎更大一些。车顶后部线条进一步向下倾斜,底部与更短行李箱连接。新款凯美瑞将与新一代普锐斯共享TGNA平台,新车重量进一步降低,刚性进一步增加,同时车身尺寸更大。据传,新车将搭载2.0升四缸涡轮引擎以替代现行版V6引擎。而入门级车型仍将搭载四缸自然进气引擎,但燃油经济性将进一步提升,未来还将增加混动版本。新一代凯美瑞将在今年底或明年初作为2018款车型上市。
Next-gen Toyota Camry spied looking impressively adequate
The next-gen Toyota Camry is now under development in Michigan, and this batch of spy photos is our first look at the latest incarnation of the perennial member of the bestseller list in the United States.
Unfortunately, the sedan wears cladding from stem to stern, which does a fantastic job of hiding the body’s lines. The grille’s outline is barely visible through the obfuscation at the front, but it seems to take cues from the current model’s pointed shape. The Toyota emblem appears much larger, too. At the back, the roof looks to have a steeper slope and connect to a shorter trunk.
The new Camry would likely share the TGNA modular platform with the latest Prius. The underpinnings would let Toyota reduce the sedan’s weight and increase its rigidity without changing the size. Rumors suggest a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder might replace the V6 in the lineup. A naturally aspirated four would remain the base engine, but it could use the more efficient Atkinson cycle. A hybrid would eventually join the range, too.
Toyota would likely have the new Camry on sale for the 2018 model year. To achieve that timetable, expect the company to debut the new sedan later this year or early in 2017.
