Toyota Camry 2012 Kuwait Prices & Specs

The midsize Toyota Camry sedan has been redesigned heavily for 2012, with a new engine, new interior, new suspension and an overall repackage to make it more appealing. A 2.5-litre 4-cylinder with a 6-speed automatic is standard, and it makes a little less horsepower on the base model than in the rest of the range, as it is the only one to receive a single exhaust tip, while the other trims receive dual exhaust tips. The base model can be had with a manual gearbox in Saudi Arabia, but not in the UAE. Now available in four new trim levels, the base model also looks visibly different than the rest of the range, with its basic bumpers, 15-inch steel wheels with hubcaps and more hard plastics in the interior. Known as S or GL, depending on market, it comes with a manual a/c, 6-speaker CD/MP3 touchscreen stereo with USB port, keyless entry, power windows and mirrors, fabric seats, rear parking sensors, ABS with EBD and two airbags. The mid-range model, known as SE or GLX, also gets fake wood trim, dual-zone auto a/c, auto-dimming mirror, cruise control, Bluetooth, audio jack, scuff plates with illumination, rear camera, powered driver's seat, 16-inch alloys, door mirrors with turn indicators, front fog lamps, and a "sport" front bumper, "sport" grille, rear boot spoiler and dual exhaust tips. Also available are stability control, sunroof, DVD, keyless start and navigation, although the mid-range specs vary between GCC countries. The top-spec "Sport" model, known as GLX S in some markets, gets a unique rear bumper, paddle-shifters, stability control, leather seats, 17-inch alloys and fake metal cabin trim, with some markets like Oman getting intelligent keyless entry with starter button and DVD player. In terms of safety, all models get dual front airbags and ABS, but only some of the top trim levels get side airbags and stability control, though again specs vary, as the most-expensive Sport model in the UAE does not get those latter features. In late 2012, a "Royale" model was offered in the UAE, essentially a base model with a few extra features tacked on, identified by dealer-installed LEDs on the front bumper.
