Appearance

In terms of appearance, the eighth-generation Camry has a dual-style design of luxury version and sports version. Both design styles are derived from Toyota's latest "Keen Look" design language. The luxury version adopts a huge trapezoidal horizontal grille, the body is streamlined, the waistline is lower, and the extended rear of the roof increases the headroom in the rear row.

The sports version adopts a three-layer grille front face, and for the first time adopts a two-color body and a "pure black" cabin design, and the rear adopts a double-sided four-exhaust pipe shape. In addition, the hybrid version is based on the luxury version, and its identity is highlighted by the light blue front and rear lights.

The hybrid version has a new sports version shape, which maintains the main design of the current fuel sports version as a whole, and only reveals its identity as a hybrid version in some details. Specifically, the front face of the car adopts an X shape, the interior of its grille is made of black mesh material, and the central Toyota LOGO is embellished with blue elements, which has a more prominent visual effect.
