It's silhouette more angular than its proceeding model.
The headlights appear to be LEDs. There is a slim spoiler at the back with quad-exhaust tips. This hints a sporty look for the hybrid sedan, according to Autoblog.
The engine has sort of a downgrade. It was rumored to be having a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged cylinder. It will also carry an eight-speed automatic transmission. This was an upgrade from being a previous six-speedster. There were reports that the 2018 Toyota Camry will have aluminum parts. That would then make the hybrid sedan relatively lighter.
