The upfront of this new Camry is riddled with smooth swoops and curbs all around, from the hood to the upper and lower grille. Along with the curved character, lines flow seamlessly from forward to backward and sharp LED headlights that look good day and night. Also, the hood is filled with deep strakes to compliment a muscular appearance for the car.

The lines on the upfront continue looking amazing down the side of the Camry, making the car more unique. The 18-inch alloys sit on the 235/45/R18 car tire with ventilated discs up front and solid at the back.

It's well-adjusted when you need slow and tight maneuvers in the city and a lot more curves on the outside.
