It seems like just the other day when Toyota launched the 2012 Camry to much fanfare. So it seems prudent that the “all-new” 2016 Camry isn’t exactly all-new. Just launched today in the UAE, we took one for a brief spin around the cluttered “New Dubai” area.
Toyota have officially launched the 2016 Camry in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Oman, and is set to arrive in the UAE sometime next week.
The heavily-updated new-generation Toyota Camry has been in American production and on sale in the States since late last year as a 2015 model, but it’s only just started production at Toyota’s Australian plant, 70% of whose output is destined for the Middle East. But there’s more to the story.
Michelin is celebrating their 125th anniversary this year, and as part of that, they held a media event at Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina Circuit.

Toyota have officially revealed the 2015 Camry in Moscow, Russia. This is the “global” version, different from the one that was unveiled in the United States earlier this year, and most likely the car we are going to get.

Don’t get too excited. If you were pining for a hybrid version of the Toyota Camry, you’re still not going to be able to buy one. The brand’s UAE dealer has just sold less than 50 of these hybrid sedans for service as Dubai taxis, and being a passenger in one of these rarities will be as close as you can come to experiencing it. But we got a chance to take the 2014 Toyota Camry Hybrid for a spin.
UAE Toyota dealer Al-Futtaim Motors has entered a deal with Dubai RTA-franchisee Cars Taxi to supply them with a fleet of Toyota Camry Hybrid sedans for use as taxis.
Toyota Middle East recently announced a solid 10% growth in 2013 sales at a press conference in Dubai, at the same time there is unrelated news that they’re shutting down their Australian production operation.
