In the country the Toyota Camry 3.5Q V6 is the flagship model of Toyota Motor Philippines Corporation, unlike in some countries they still have the Toyota Crown, nevertheless in terms of amenities we are not deprived. The Toyota Camry comes in 3 variants the entry level Camry 2.4G, 2.4V and our test vehicle the Camry 3.5Q V6 in silver metallic with black leather interior. Inside the hood the Camry is powered by a 3.5 liter V6 24 valves DOHC (double overhead cam) VVT-I (variable valve timing-injection) that can produce a maximum output of277 ps/ 6200 rpm and maximum torque of 346 nm/ 4700 rpm linked to a 6 speed automatic with super ECT (electronic controlled transmission). The front 16” ventilated disc brakes and rear 15” solid disc brakes with 4 wheel ABS (anti-lock brake system), EBD (electronic brake force distribution) and BA (brake assist)to be able to put this vehicle to a stop. The 17” alloy wheels mounted on 215x55xR17 tires not only compliments to the vehicle exterior design but to the handling of the vehicle especially in tight turns.

Seated at the rear-seat, the passengers are pampered in comfort. Like the seat backrest can be reclined 2-way with 3 pieces headrest with height adjustment. On the center armrest when folded down, controls for the air-conditioning, audio set up, rear sunshade up/down control, seat recline and cup holders are conveniently located, although a seat massager would be optimum. Rear door windows have manually operated sunshades to match the rear windshield sunshade for that private and secure feel. Up front at the helm of the pilot seat the optitron multi-information instrument cluster display with tri-color can be adjusted to the color preferred depending on mood of the occupants inside. Also the black leather interior with wood grain trimmings increases the status to the up class luxurious look. When travelling at night the cabin is illuminated all over that will definitely set the feel good mood of the occupants. Also at night while the pilot will feel great driving at night even at high speeds with HID (high intensity discharge) headlamps that has excellent density beam on the road ahead. When taking the turns, the adaptive front lighting system follows the curves of the road. Since owners of most Toyota Camry 3.5Q V6 on the road ride on the backseat, the pilots assigned to these vehicles are privileged to drive such great vehicles from Toyota.
