北美车展最受期待的车型——2018款丰田凯美瑞——终于亮相了。丰田宣称新款凯美瑞是丰田史上最近侵略性，最先进——我们有理由相信上述说法。美国最畅销轿车的第八代车型这次从头到脚都进行了大幅改款。新车采用丰田的TNGA平台，比此前任何一款车型都更突出运动风格和驾驶乐趣。新车轴距增加了50.8毫米，总长4859.02毫米，不过车顶和引擎盖高度分别降低了25.4毫米和38.1毫米。座椅位置也降低了，车身高度为1440.18毫米，车辆内部更适合驾驶员。凯美瑞顶级款搭载一台3.5升V6 D-4S燃油喷射引擎，另一台2.5升引擎搭配八速自动变速器，而混动版搭载一台2.5升引擎和新的混动系统——下一代丰田混动系统并搭配CVT变速器。该车城市/高速路油耗为49/47英里（百公里油耗约合4.8/5升）。新款凯美瑞除了采用新的平台和新引擎外，还标配了更多安全系统，包括防前撞预警系统和行人探测系统，全速动态雷达巡航控制，车道偏离警示及转向辅助。如果愿意花更多的钱，还可以配备盲点监控和后方交叉车流预警，智能间隙声纳系统，甚至鸟瞰摄像头。
2018 Toyota Camry introduces 'aggressive' design, new engines
This is the moment you’ve all been waiting for, the most hotly-anticipated Detroit Auto Show debut is finally here. Toyota says that its new Camry is the most aggressive, most advanced model the company has ever built – and we have reason to believe it.
The eighth-generation of America’s best-selling sedan has received a serious makeover, from top to bottom. Putting to use the Toyota New Global Architecture (or TNGA), it’s more "athletic, and fun to drive" than any model before it, says the company.
The wheelbase sees an extension of two inches (50.8 millimeters), bringing to total length to 191.3 inches (4,859.02 millimeters), while the lower roofline and hood have been dropped about 1.0 inch (25.4 millimeters) and 1.5 inches (38.1 millimeters), respectively. The seating position is lower too, the total height of the vehicle measuring in at just 56.7 inches (1,440.18 millimeters), and the cabin is more tailored to the driver.
3.5-liter V6 with D-4S Fuel Injection sits at the top of the range. Down the line, a 2.5-liter engine pairs with an 8-speed automatic transmission, while an available hybrid model pairs that same 2.5-liter engine to the company’s new hybrid system – or as it’s so cleverly named, the next-gen Toyota Hybrid System (THS II) – and a CVT.
Though performance figures remain a mystery, Toyota is pretty confident that its new Camry Hybrid will achieve best-in-class ratings over competitors like the Accord, which gets an estimated 49 city and 47 highway mpg.
Apart from the new platform and new range of engines, the Camry gets a suite of standard safety features like pre-collision warning with pedestrian detection, full-speed range dynamic radar cruise control, and lane departure alert with steering assist. For a few bucks extra, buyers can tack on things like a blind spot minor with rear cross traffic alert, intelligent clearance sonar, and even a bird’s-eye view camera with perimeter scan.
