Camry 40 (Toyota Camry): specifications

"Camry 40" is a car manufactured by the Japanese company Toyota, which is the most mass business class car in the CIS countries. The sixth generation of the "Camry" model was presented in 2006. It came to replace the V30 (5th generation). And in 2007, the following year after the start of sales, this model became the car of the year in Russia.

About the car

Indeed, in the vastness of our homeland "Camry 40" has become very popular. It was because of this that it was decided to build a plant near St. Petersburg to produce this particular model. In 2011, the release stopped - the V40 replaced the V50 generation.

The car was produced only in the back of the sedan. And the model underwent only one modernization - in 2009. The car looks spectacular - the radiator grille covered with chrome , the fog-lining, the chrome plank over the license plate (but only over the rear) ... All this created a unique image. Moreover, this machine stands on tires 215/60 R16. The model has excellent drag (the coefficient is 0.28). The wheelbase of the sixth generation was increased by 5.5 centimeters, but the length did not change.

Salon

Now about the interior and equipment of the salon, which boasts the car "Camry 40". The first thing to note is the steering column. It can be adjusted in both directions, which allows the driver to adjust the steering wheel the way he wants. The second point is the 2-zone climate control. Provides a decent level of comfort. And six airbags, which are there necessarily even in the basic configuration. Even in the car there is a CD changer (6 speakers and 6 discs).

It is interesting that there are also European and Arabic versions of the "Camry 40". But they, unlike the standard ones, seem more sluggish and not so obedient on the roads.

As an additional equipment, cruise control, leather interior, electric front seats and even a navigation system with a touch screen are offered (this option was added in 2009).

The interior has become much more spacious, if compared with cars of the past generation. It is interesting that in the expensive equipment called "Premium" the rear sofa is divided (proportion: 40 x 20 x 40). And each part can be moved longitudinally and adjusted the angle of the backrest. In even more expensive complete sets, the sofa is divided in proportions of 60/40, so that the backs can be completely folded. By the way, in the trunk of the car will fit a cargo of 535 liters.

Popular Powertrains

Now we need to talk about what kind of engines are installed under the hood of Toyota Camry 40 models. The basic motor is a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine with 167 horsepower. It is interesting that this unit is the evolution of the one that was installed on the version of the previous generation. However, this engine facilitated the pistons and increased the compression ratio. Accordingly, technical indicators have improved. This motor works in tandem with a 5-speed manual transmission (there are versions with automatic transmission).

There is also a 6-cylinder engine. Its volume is 3.5 liters, and the capacity is 277 horses. Models, under the hoods of which is this motor, are aggregated exclusively by a 6-speed "automatic", equipped with a manual control mode. In addition, this engine is characterized by a chain drive timing. Models with this motor type "weave" in just 7.4 seconds. The maximum is 230 km / h.

Other Features

In addition to the above engines, the Toyota Camry 40 was still equipped with 2.5-liter 181-horsepower engines. Such engines, however, installed under the hoods of models that were exported to England, America and were in the course of Japan. Still there are models with a 2-liter 148-horsepower motor. They, as a rule, meet in the markets of the countries of Asia. It is also interesting that all three transmissions differ in different gear ratios.

What about weight? 60.9% goes to the front axle, and the remaining 39.1% - respectively, to the rear. It is also worth noting that the Toyota Camry (40 body) was the first car in which it was possible to install a hybrid engine. An electric motor for 40 horsepower works in tandem with a gasoline engine. Very economical.

About operation

Finally a couple of words about what the operational features of this machine are. So, replacement of stabilizer bushings will be required when the mileage from the last gauge is 30-40 thousand. Racks can easily "walk away" for a hundred thousand. The steering rods can also be replaced at the end of 150,000 kilometers. Although this is a maximum, it is better to do somewhere on 100-120 thousand.

If a person owns a car, under the hood of which there is a 3.5-liter 6-cylinder engine, then every 30 thousand kilometers it is necessary to clean the injectors. On each engine, each candle has its own ignition coil. When the mileage reaches a mark of 150,000 kilometers, you need to adjust the thermal gaps.

And what about the oil? It is replaced every 10,000 km. But! Suitable exclusively synthetic - 5W-50. If you use another, you can soon hear a knock on the cold engine.
