2007 Toyota Camry Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
Hybrid power joined the flagship Toyota Camry sedan for 2007.
The Toyota Camry is one of the Japanese carmaker's biggest-selling models. As such, when an all-new model arrives, it’s major news. That’s precisely what has happened, as the new 2007 model arrives in showrooms.
In terms of design, the 2007 Toyota Camry looks more sophisticated than its predecessors, and it also introduces a more aerodynamic aesthetic that suggests Toyota finally recognized that its big sedan should look as good as it performs. OK, it’s still no Ferrari (or even Alfa Romeo come to that), but for a big car, the 2007 Camry is sleek enough to not stand out from the crowd.
The interior was also overhauled, although some questioned if Toyota had abandoned the high-quality—and highly durable—finish you’d expect of one of its flagship cars.
A sports car, the Camry is not. But hey, what did you expect? Instead, the 2007 Toyota Camry was designed to offer relaxing, smooth performance while also being able to hold it together if you found a suitably interesting road. All models send power to a front-wheel drive (FWD) drivetrain.
Key to this are the engines. Both four-cylinder and V6 engines are available, and they offer reasonable performance and quiet manners if all you’re interested in is cruising. If you want a manual gearbox, you’ll have to stick to a four-cylinder engine and the Toyota Camry SE trim; the base-model, known in Canada as the LE, can be found with a 2.4-litre inline-four that produces power specs of 158 horsepower and 161 pound-feet of torque.
In Canada, the LE and SE trims can be had with the four-cylinder or a more powerful V6, while the top XLE trim is exclusively available with the more powerful engine. This 3.5-litre DOHC power plant provides 268 hp and 248 lb-ft of torque. This engine utilizes Toyota's Dual Variable Valve Timing + intelligence system to harness maximum engine potential, increase fuel economy, and lower emissions. It comes with a six-speed automatic transmission, whereas the only automatic available with the four-cylinder engine is a five-speed unit.
2007 is the first year Toyota offers the Camry as a hybrid. This combines the 2.4-litre, four-cylinder engine with an electric motor and an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (CVT). The system is branded as Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive.
The body style is limited to four-door sedan only, although that doesn't harm practicality too much. This is the largest Camry there’s ever been. Expect generous headroom and legroom in the rear seats (XLE models even come with reclining rear seats), although the trunk isn’t a match for what you’ll find in many SUVs. Note, the trunk of the Camry Hybrid is smaller still due to the space taken up by the hybrid system’s battery. Up front, there’s plenty of storage space and no risk of grazing elbows with your passenger.
The 2007 Camry is available in three trim levels, plus the hybrid version. The base model, the Toyota Camry LE, comes well equipped with power windows, cruise control, air conditioning, keyless entry, variable-speed intermittent wipers, and more. Options include alloy wheels, an eight-way power driver’s seat, and a power sunroof. The SE is the sport version, adding a firmer suspension, a three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel, blue Optitron meters, side rocker panel moldings, fog lamps, and 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels. When the automatic transmission is selected, heated front seats are also included. The Toyota Camry XLE comes standard with dual-zone climate control, Bluetooth technology, a power moonroof, a JBL stereo with a six-CD player and Bluetooth connectivity (optional on the SE), heated leather seats, and those reclining back seats. The Hybrid trim line is equipped similarly to an SE with the optional audio system.
Just as Mercedes-Benz uses the S-Class to show off its latest technology, so Toyota often debuts its most cutting-edge features on the Camry. For 2007, such features include a power moonroof, Bluetooth phone connectivity, and dual-zone climate control.
If you want more luxury and technology from your sedan, it might also be worth looking at the 2007 Lexus ES 350, which shares its underpinnings and engine with the 2007 Camry.
The Toyota Camry will certainly be remembered as a safe new car at the time of its launch. Crucially, it comes with seven airbags, including side curtain airbags and a driver knee airbag, and electronic stability control. And there are anti-lock brakes (ABS) and electronic brake-force distribution to help prevent that accident from happening in the first place.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) rated the 2007 Camry as Good in front overlap, side, and roof-strength crash tests. The Camry received a Moderate rating for head restraints and seats. The National Highly Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) rated the 2007 Toyota Camry with five stars for frontal and side crash protection, and with four stars for rollover protection.
It's worth noting that Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and traction control aren’t fitted as standard to every 2007 Toyota Camry, but are offered as an optional extra.
The four-cylinder Camrys with a manual transmission return a respectable 9.6 litres per 100 kilometres in city driving and 6.4 on the highway. Swap the manual for the automatic, and those numbers become 9.8 L/100 km city, 6.5 highway. The auto-only V6 delivers 10.7 L/100 km city, 7.0 highway. However, if you really want to keep your running costs down, it’s worth considering the Toyota Camry Hybrid instead. Fuel efficiency for this model is rated at 5.7 L/100 km city and highway, and the hybrid system can drive the car under electric power only for short distances at speeds up to just under 50 kilometres per hour.
